Profile Summary: niculaeee

Meet niculaeee, a rapidly rising star in the online chess arena, known for their fiery spirit and endgame prowess. With a peak rapid rating of 766 achieved in June 2025, niculaeee plays a serious game but isn't afraid to have fun — especially when pulling off comebacks (a solid 71.57% comeback rate to rile opponents).

If there's a signature style to their play, it's a stubborn refusal to resign early (only 6.25% early resignation rate), paired with a love for grinding out complex endgames, which show up in over half (52.91%) of their matches. Their average game length hovers around 53 moves—because niculaeee believes good things come to those who wait (or exhaust their opponent).

Opening choices boast a fascinating mix of classic and offbeat. From dabbling in the King’s Pawn Opening to exhibiting a near flawless performance in the Nimzowitsch Defense – Kennedy Linksspringer Variation (100% win rate across 7 games), niculaeee loves to confuse opponents early with clever moves and calculated aggression.

Despite a few bullet blunders (only 2 bullet games played and both ended in losses, sorry speed demons), their steady rapid climb shows a player more measured than impulsive. With a white win rate of 62.11% and taking black slightly less seriously (45.74% wins), niculaeee enjoys the advantage of the first move and tactically sharp responses.

Time-wise, niculaeee is most deadly at 8 AM, winning an impressive 75% of games played at that hour — definitely better caffeinated. And their best day for winning? Tuesday, with a 66.67% success rate.

Their longest winning streak is 5 games, but they’ve tasted the sour side too with an equally long 5-game losing skid. The current streak might be shaky, but every chess master knows: the queen always fights back.

Notable recent victory? A crushing win using the Pirc Defense Maroczy Defense against liesaso, where precise maneuvering led to a triumphant checkmate after a tactical skirmish ending at move 26. Perfect example of patience and precision paying off!

In short, niculaeee is a thoughtful tactician with the heart of a gladiator, proving that even in the digital 64-square battlefield, resilience and cleverness are the real kings.
