With a peak rapid rating soaring to 1558 as of December 2023, Nikola has proven himself a formidable opponent in the dynamic realm of rapid chess. His journey through 2023 to early 2025 shows he's no stranger to the twists and turns of the chessboard, boasting over 4,900 games with a nearly balanced score of 2409 wins to 2355 losses—and a handful of draws to keep things interesting!

This player’s style is a tale of endurance: averaging about 64 moves per win and battling on for almost 80 moves in losses. Nikola doesn’t give up early—his early resignation rate is an impressively low 0.68%—and he thrives in the endgame like a true connoisseur, playing them in nearly 73% of his games. His comeback rate after falling behind is a whopping 83.81%, making him a fighter who refuses to bow down easily.

Whether wielding the pawns as White or commanding the pieces as Black, Nikola maintains a competitive winning edge (White Win Rate ≈ 49.7%, Black Win Rate ≈ 47.8%). His favorite trusty openings include the Scandinavian Defense (with a sneaky Mieses-Kotrc Variation), Scotch Game, and the King's Fianchetto Opening, all boasting win rates around the 50% mark. So, be prepared if you face off against his Scandinavian Defense – he’s logged nearly 900 battles in that line alone, with a win rate that keeps challengers on their toes.

Nikola proves to be a nocturnal tactician; his best time to play is around 3 AM when the rest of the world is dreaming of chess moves. Fun fact: his win rate peaks spectacularly at the 3 AM hour with nearly 79%, suggesting that when most are counting sheep, Nikola is counting forks, pins, and checkmates. He likely sips on midnight coffee or tea while plotting his next queen sacrifice!

His psychological game could use some zen—his "tilt factor" sits at 9, but that hasn't stopped him from turning around almost impossible positions. Despite the occasional setback (longest losing streak of 9), his longest winning spree of 12 shows he can steamroll opponents with deadly consistency.
