Nikolai Aliavdin - International Master Extraordinaire

Meet Nikolai Aliavdin, a chess player who proudly holds the title of International Master from FIDE. Often playing under the username "Nikolaj_6" when in doubt about the pronouns, Nikolai has chiseled a reputation as a cunning tactician both online and over the board.

Rating Journey & Style

Starting modestly in the daily leagues around 2016 with a rating of 785, Nikolai's skills quickly blossomed. Approaching 1500+ in daily and soaring past 2700 in blitz by 2024, his ravenous appetite for blitz games is evident – over 15,000 blitz games played with a win rate flirting just under 50%, conquering opponents with lightning speed and ruthless precision.

Notorious for a staggering 91.33% comeback rate, Nikolai refuses to surrender even when the odds turn grim. Losing a piece? No problem! He boasts a perfect 100% win rate after that mishap, proving that perseverance and sharp tactics are his trademarks.

Opening Secrets & Streaks

Nikolai treats his openings as top secret, perhaps hiding the recipes to some forbidden gambits. His record shows an 86% win rate with the mysterious "Top Secret" opening in daily games—a secret weapon, no doubt! His longest victorious streak? An astonishing 19 games, and he’s currently riding a 4-win streak. Watch out, chessboard!

Personality & Quirks

If chess were a soap opera, Nikolai’s psychological trends would make for gripping entertainment. With a modest tilt factor of 11, he probably enjoys a good rant but quickly steels his nerve. He does, however, tend to perform better in casual settings than rated, showing a playful side beneath the intense competitor.

Nikolai is truly a player who loves the endgame – almost 80% of his games transition to these critical battlegrounds, showing patience and deep understanding. Average moves per win hover around 77, a testament to his careful maneuvering.

Memorable Opponents & Famous Feuds

Among many opponents, Nikolai has created a streak of perfect wins (100%) against recent rivals like szwaku, taylanruzgar, and dakisbelt. On the downside, alphazerostyl remains a pesky nemesis with a 0% win rate against them—perhaps something to study for future battles!

In Summary

From humble beginnings to masterful tactical triumphs, Nikolai Aliavdin has carved his niche in the chess world. Whether blitzing through 61 games in 2024 at a peak 2705 rating or grinding out patient endgames, “Nikolaj_6” continues to sharpen his skills with a blend of dedication, secrecy, and a pinch of chessboard drama.
