About Nathhick

Meet nathhick, a rapid-fire strategist on the chessboard with a flair for stirring up the “old-fashioned” kitchen sink of openings. A real enthusiast whose battles span tens of thousands of games across Blitz and Rapid formats. Though not a grandmaster (yet!), this player boasts impressive peaks of 421 in Blitz and an astonishing 605 in Rapid, proving agility and resilience like a knight leaping across the board.

Playing Style & Persona

Nathhick’s style? A curious cocktail of calculated risk and impatience. With an early resignation rate hovering around 2.34%, it’s clear they prefer to fight hard rather than throw in the towel. They cherish long endgames (65% frequency) and can convert intricate positions into victories, averaging nearly 60 moves per win—chess marathons, anyone?

Timing is everything: renowned for shining bright in the early mornings (best time to play? 9:00 AM) and maintaining an incredible comeback rate near 68%, this player never backs down—even after losing a piece. However, beware this warrior’s tilt factor of 12; sometimes, the board’s tiny setbacks meet tempestuous reactions!

Record & Rivalries

With a near-perfect epic saga of 959 wins and 958 losses in Blitz, plus an ocean of games in Rapid with just a slight loss margin behind wins, Nathhick is the epitome of chess “give and take.” A true fighter whose foes have often felt the sting... sometimes multiple times! For example, they have a perfect 3-0 record against iambat007, making that matchup look more like “pawsed” than “played.” Conversely, some opponents have proved trickier, calling out a need for improvement.

Favorite Openings & Strategic Quirks

Nathhick dances nimbly through a forest of openings, doing particularly well when wielding the Queens Pawn Opening in Blitz, registering a solid 54.5% win rate. Rapid games reveal a fondness for the Reti Opening, where the win rate inches over 52%. Less fond? The Indian Game in Blitz, which has been a slight Achilles’ heel with a sub-41% win rate.

Whether it’s the stalwart French Defense or the cheeky Englund Gambit, Nathhick’s opening repertoire is as diverse as a cast of eccentric chess characters. You might catch them dabbling in Pirc Defense or Bishops Opening too, proving they don’t shy away from a little variety—even if it means navigating sharp tactical waters!

Recent Battles & Highlights

The latest recorded clashes include a roaring victory by checkmate against theerozzers on 2025-05-26, demonstrating precise endgame prowess. Their recent win over vivejare came from a dazzling battle filled with positional tension and timing pressure, eventually winning on time—a testament to their endurance and ability to push opponents to the brink.

Fun Fact

Nathhick’s average game length gravitates around 64 moves, meaning they like to savor every moment on the 64 squares — kind of like a grandmaster level binge-watching session, but with chess pieces instead of popcorn.
