Nicolai Getz - International Master of Chess
Meet Nicolai Getz, a strong and seasoned International Master (IM) recognized by FIDE. Nicolai is not just any chess player; this maestro is a battlefield tactician with a penchant for comebacks, boasting an astonishing 86.85% comeback rate and a near-impossible 97.08% win rate after losing a piece. If chess were a movie, Nicolai would be that plot-twisting hero who always finds a way to turn the tides!
Since bursting onto the competitive Blitz scene in 2012 with a Blitz rating above 2000, Nicolai’s journey has been one of consistent growth and relentless determination. Reaching a peak Blitz rating of 2581 in 2020, this player thrives in fast-paced, adrenaline-fueled games, demonstrating remarkable sharpness even under pressure. Though their Bullet skills shine just as brightly, with peak ratings over 2400, Nicolai’s strategic mind truly sparkles in Rapid and Blitz formats.
Curious about their style? Nicolai is a marathoner at the board with nearly 80% Endgame frequency and an average of 74 moves per win, savoring the slow, agonizing dance of strategy rather than a quick knockout. Plus, with a modest early resignation rate of just 4%, Nicolai never throws in the towel easily — true grit on display.
When does Nicolai play best? Apparently early mornings and late nights are magic hours: win rates peek to 70% around 6 AM and stay stellar during the wee hours too. Maybe it's the coffee or the silence, but during these hours, opponents beware!
Off the board, Nicolai is known for battling a tilt factor of 15 — meaning losing a few games might stir some emotions, but nothing quite deters this resilient competitor. Win or lose, Nicolai plays for love of the game and the thrill of the fight.
Whether facing off against famous opponents or casual challengers, Nicolai Getz’s profile is one of skill, persistence, and an unquenchable hunger for tactical warfare on the 64 squares. As an IM, Nicolai has proven over and over that the game of chess is not just about pieces and squares, but about heart, mind, and those unforgettable moments of triumph.
