Profile Summary: ivicas_46

Meet ivicas_46, a chess enthusiast who deftly balances the chaos of blitz, bullet, and rapid games with the occasional dip into daily chess. With a blitz peak rating soaring to 1293 in 2025, ivicas_46 shows a rapid-fire aptitude that would make even a bullet train jealous. Not content with just speedy takedowns, this player has a knack for rapid chess too, flirting with a 1305 high rating.

Known for an impressive comeback rate of nearly 84%, ivicas_46 refuses to bow out quietly—even after losing material, bouncing back with a perfect 100% win rate when down a piece. Talk about turning the tables! Endgames are a favorite playground, happening in almost 75% of games, proving patience is a secret weapon. And when victory comes, it's often after a thoughtful 69 moves, proving that speed doesn’t mean rushing blindly.

Psychologically, ivicas_46 admits to a tilt factor of 9—a dab of frustration here and there—yet demonstrates resilience by recovering and maintaining an overall win rate close to 50% regardless of color. White or black, their performance remains steady, with White winning 48.57% and Black 47.85% of the time, ensuring opponents can never predict the outcome based on the opening.

Around seven days a week and all hours you can imagine—from a sharp 10 AM burst (where the win rate nudges above 51%) to the infamous 5 AM perfect 100% win rate (someone’s watching the stars and the chessboard)—ivicas_46’s game is as versatile as it is unpredictable. Their longest winning streak hit double digits at 10 games, but currently, the streakometer reads zero, which just means there’s room for the next epic run.

Opponents beware: with a dizzying list of past encounters and a few arch-nemeses (looking at you, harshg_07!), ivicas_46’s record is a blend of thrilling triumphs and humbling losses. They play a mysterious 'Top Secret' opening that has netted nearly half their wins—a strategy wrapped in enigma, waiting to surprise.

When not plotting chess domination, ivicas_46 might be contemplating whether the knight’s L-shape move is just a dance or a battle formation. One thing's for sure—they’re here to make the chessboard their stage and keep the fun and unexpected twists coming!
