Mekys: The Chess Adventurer

Meet Mekys, a relentless chess enthusiast whose journey through the ranks feels like a rollercoaster designed by a grandmaster with a wicked sense of humor. Starting in 2022 with a Rapid rating oscillating between 527 and 934, Mekys soared to a peak of 945 in 2023, proving that persistence (and maybe a bit of luck) can pay off—even if the path includes a few unexpected detours.

Not the fastest bullet, but definitely a strategist in disguise, Mekys has played a respectable number of Bullet games with a top rating soaring to 686. As for Blitz, those few games tell a tale of cautious experimentation with a max rating of 546. This player doesn’t just play spots and skirmishes—they engage in battles where every move counts, with an average game lasting nearly 48 moves in wins and slightly more in losses. Talk about stamina!

Mekys’s style is a mix of patience and ambition, rocking a White win rate just over 50%, while managing to sneak out wins even with a lost piece—100% win rate in those nerve-wracking moments! Early resignations are minimal, proving that Mekys rarely gives up without a fight (although the infamous tilt factor of 12 shows that even champions have their off days).

The "Top Secret" opening repertoire has been thoroughly tested, with nearly 750 Rapid games and a win rate just shy of 48%, confirming Mekys’s preference for keeping opponents guessing (and occasionally scratching their heads).

When asked about Mekys’s favorite time to play, expect a surprise: mornings and early afternoons bring the best results (like a Jedi fueled by coffee), while evenings are more of a gamble—perhaps an epic struggle between focus and fatigue.

With a longest winning streak of 7 games, Mekys proves that brilliance isn’t just flashes of genius—it’s also commitment, resilience, and a tad bit of eccentricity. Currently at an 819 Rapid rating in 2024, Mekys is leveling up, one clever (or cheeky) move at a time.

Chess players beware: Mekys might not always win, but they always make sure your queen sweats a little.
