Player Profile: Nicoade
Meet Nicoade, a rapid and blitz chess enthusiast currently battling it out on the 2025 online circuits. With peak ratings of 631 in Rapid and 637 in Blitz – yes, those are respectable numbers for a fighter who loves the Scandinavian Defense nearly as much as a cat loves knocking things off tables.
Chess Journey and Style
Nicoade’s opening repertoire reads like a thrilling novel packed with Scandinavian Defense variations, boasting an impressive 66.67% win rate in the Closed and Mieses Kotrc variations. When things get dicey, Alekhine’s Defense and the classic Queens Pawn openings provide some dance moves, though the French Defense seems to be Nicoade’s less favorite dance partner – zero wins there!
This player averages roughly 44 moves per win, showing a great tendency for tenacity and patience. And yes, those 8.85% early resignations hint at the occasional “I see checkmate coming, might as well save time” moments.
Battle Records & Psychology
With a nearly equal number of rapid wins (102) and losses (107) and a handful of draws, Nicoade is no stranger to the battlefield's ups and downs. The longest winning streak reached an admirable 10 games, rivaled slightly by an 8 game losing skid — so resilience is definitely in the toolkit.
Psychology-wise, a tilt factor of 8 means sometimes the keyboard might feel a little heavier after a tough loss, but with a remarkable 76.19% comeback rate, Nicoade often turns those sour moments into sweet victories. The best time to pounce? Noon sharp, where the win rate hits a perfect 100%!
Recent Memorable Games
One recent gem was a crushing checkmate victory against Paudie125, where Nicoade's mastery of the Alekhine’s Defense Scandinavian Variation shined through. It ended with an elegant Qxd1#, confirming that Nicoade prefers to finish a party stylishly. (Try saying that five times fast!)
Fun Fact
Despite some losses to lilxaiyah (win rate 0%), Nicoade has a perfect record against others like paudie125 and bmzlll. That’s the magic of online chess: enemies to conquer and friends to checkmate, all before lunch!
