An IM With a Clock Addiction
Patryk Chylewski, better known to the internet as maszaszachistaaa, is a Polish International Master who treats online chess like a full-contact sport. The username roughly translates to "you have a chess player!" and, yes, by the end of his week you will have had enough of him. Patryk has become one of the most versatile speed demons on the site, dragging a FIDE tile from the calm of over-the-board events and dropping it into chaotic bullet pools where the clock is the third player.
Where Speed Lives
His spiritual home is [[bullet]], where he has stormed to a peak of [[[[Stat|PeakRating|Bullet]]]]. Smashing past 2700 already, his rapid and blitz numbers are far from shabby, but his 2900+ peaks straight up look like a typo until you watch the replays. One wild storyline is [[[[Recap]]]]. The charts tell the full story of a player who simply refuses to play slowly if you do not make him.
Streak Addict
Danger signs were present early. Patryk once won 27 online games in a row, then followed it with a wholesome 2-game winner streak just to stay humble. His longest losing streak is down to a manageable 10, which is roughly one terrible weekend in his world. A [[Winning is Best]] chart for him shows that if you want to beat him, wait for the losing streak window and bring a very stable internet connection.
Stone Cold in the Endgame
He plays about 8,000 decisive games, but his most criti-ism attribute is his [[Move to Combat|endgame]]: he reaches the endgame in 86% of his games and he wins about 47% of the time even when he loses a piece earlier. His 34% automatic resignation rate is brutally injected to the statistics; that is still enough to make his [[Chart:Respect]] uneasy.
Openings Without Bottlenecks
Patryk is a lover of peaceful chaos. His most repeated halls are the [[Caro-Kann Defence]] and the [[Sicilian Defence]], and he is especially mean when playing the [[Alapin Variation]] with the White pieces. One of his signature matches is a chess pastry, and his win rate against the [[Sicilian Alapin]] is often above 60%. Against the [[French Defence]] the numbers are even better: he won 67%, probably because the clock is equally distended.
Friends on the Other Side
You can never arm wrestle alone, and [[Crazy in the mind]] has seen 142 games against this Polish bull, plus the guard of [[tarno17]] and [[prahabo]]. The scoreboard is packed on each side. He even has a hero series against [[tarno17]] where he won 60 of 61 encounters. They do not sit together at board but they do sit together on the overall rating next to him.
So if you see maszaszachistaa at a live tour, be nice. Online he is in 0.5 seconds and in bullet he will be what you bought.
