Meet icatzzz, a rapid chess aficionado known for their rollercoaster ride through the ranks. At their peak, in October 2024, icatzzz soared to an impressive Rapid rating of 757 — proving there was serious fire behind those zzz's. Since then, their journey resembles a thrilling chess drama with wins, losses, and a healthy dose of resignations (only about 13% of the time — not too shabby for a fighter).

Playing mostly rapid games with occasional bullet escapades, icatzzz’s style favors lengthy battles averaging nearly 40 moves before victory and a bit more patience (over 42 moves) even in losses. They love a comeback, too — with a remarkable 73% comeback rate after setbacks, like a cat always landing on their feet, or well… on their pawns.

When it comes to openings, icatzzz dabbles in a fascinating variety:

• King’s Pawn Opening (40% win rate) – classic and reliable, like a cozy blanket
• Van ’t Kruijs Opening and Van Geet Opening Reversed Nimzowitsch Variation (both 33%) – the flavor of mystery and spice
• Adventures with gambits and defenses like the Englund Gambit and Alekhine’s Defense, though results can be as wild as their names suggest.

Despite facing tough opponents, icatzzz has a knack for certain rivals, boasting perfect win rates against some well-known usernames like greekgoddbb and avnkkumar. Whether it’s by checkmate, resignation, or occasionally winning on time, icatzzz has proven to be a formidable black or white.

For those curious about timing, the early mornings around 3 AM appear to be their magical window — a quiet time when the chess pieces dance to their tune. Beware if you challenge icatzzz then!

In summary, icatzzz might sometimes be the cat that naps in the middle of a chessboard, but when they’re awake, they bring a spirited and unpredictable game that keeps opponents on their toes. Expect tactical surprises, resilience, and a hint of mischief. After all, in the kingdom of 64 squares, the cat’s got claws.
