Nad Titus Petre (aka Nadtkins)

International Master of the 64 Squares

Meet Nad Titus Petre, the chess maestro whose pieces seem to dance on the board with strategic grace and just a hint of mischief. Holding the esteemed title of International Master, Nadtkins has been weaving tactical webs and unleashing endgame wizardry since at least 2015, steadily climbing the rankings with a blend of tenacity and pizzazz.

Specializing in fast-paced formats, Nadtkins excels in blitz, bullet, and rapid chess, where time is as much an opponent as the pieces themselves. Their blitz rating peaked at an impressive 2642 in 2023, proving that when the clock ticks down, Nadtkins truly shines — or perhaps just thinks faster under pressure. Bullet play is no exception, boasting a peak rating of 2657 in 2022, suggesting lightning-fast fingers and an even quicker mind.

But don’t be fooled; not every game is a sprint. Nadtkins has an endgame frequency of about 52%, indicating a love for the cerebral dance long after the opening fireworks have faded. With an average of roughly 49 moves per game whether winning or losing, they’re clearly in it for the long haul — or at least until someone blinks.

Anyone watching Nadtkins play will notice a psychological edge: a comeback rate of nearly 55% and a 60% win rate after losing a piece. Chess is as much about resilience as flawless calculation, and Nadtkins’ fighting spirit shines bright when the odds stack against them. Although the "tilt factor" is relatively low at 16, indicating a calm demeanor, their “early resignation rate” at 42% hints that sometimes, after seeing the writing on the wall, Nadtkins knows when to fold ’em — an underrated skill in itself.

Whether battling it out in bullet time or engaging in marathon daily games, Nadtkins doesn’t just play chess; they spoof, stun, and sometimes, stun with a grin.
