Pjotrs Kolasa - The Blitz Virtuoso, AKA Magic_City

Meet Pjotrs Kolasa, better known in the online chess realm as Magic_City. A master of lightning-fast decisions and sharp tactics, Pjotrs thrives in the chaotic world of blitz chess, wielding his mouse like a grandmaster’s knight—swift, precise, and often unexpected.

Rating Rollercoaster & Peak Performances

Since 2018, Pjotrs has tangoed with ratings from the humble 1900s up to an adrenaline-pumping peak of 2499 in blitz, just shy of the magical 2500 barrier that separates the mere mortals from the chess elite. His bullet rating peaked respectably at 2252, proving he’s no stranger to playing at warp speed, while his rapid games have a modest 1800 peak—because sometimes, it’s nice not to rush.

Playing Style & Strategy

Pjotrs is a chess marathoner, averaging a whopping 77 moves per win—a true testament to his endurance and knack for grinding out victories in long, complex battles. He’s not just about speed; with an endgame frequency over 78%, he’s the kind of player who relishes the subtle artistry of the final phase, squeezing wins when many others might settle for a draw or a quick resignation.

However, don't mistake his patience for dullness: his early resignation rate of nearly 7% suggests he knows when to bail faster than you can say “checkmate,” saving time and energy for the next thrilling encounter.

Favorite Openings

• King's Indian Defense (Normal & Makogonov Variations): His comfort zone for unleashing counterattacks.
• English Opening: Various flavors, especially the Caro-Kann Defensive System, where he's scored over 50% wins.
• Sicilian Defense – Open Accelerated Dragon Maroczy Bind Formation: The secret sauce to his highest win rate of nearly 69%.
• Lots of sneaky lines and gambits that keep opponents guessing — Pjotrs likes to mix it up!

Mind Games & Psychological Notes

With a tilt factor of 9 (which might mean he scatters pieces in frustration now and then), Pjotrs has mastered the art of bouncing back with a solid 82.9% comeback rate. In other words, if things start to look grim, don’t count him out—he’s likely plotting your downfall while sipping coffee and pretending nothing’s wrong.

He performs best in the wee hours—his best time to play is midnight. So if you challenge Magic_City at 00:00, be prepared for a relentless storm of moves and maybe a little magic.

Record vs. Notable Opponents

Pjotrs holds dominant records against many, including a perfect win rate against goudeav, igor_risk, and maximnovik. However, even the best face challenges—his most played opponent, krasavchik2002, has scored a fair number of wins against him, keeping things spicy.

Latest Triumphs & Trials

In his most recent winning escapades, Pjotrs dazzled opponents with strategic finesse and time mastery, such as his victory over Goudeav by winning on time after a complex 46-move battle. His losses are not without drama—just ask bluetooth001, whose checkmate ended one of Pjotrs' games abruptly on a Grob Opening trap!

In Summary

Pjotrs Kolasa is the kind of player you want on your team, or against you—because even if he loses, it’s never dull. Endlessly creative, endurance-tested, and armed with a midnight magic touch, he’s a true blitz battler who proves that chess is not just a game, but a thrilling adventure every single move.
