Player Profile: nkuadrat (aka Naufal 22)

Meet nkuadrat, an intrepid chess warrior boldly navigating the pixelated battlefield since the early hours of 2025. This player may not yet grace the titles of grandmaster-dom, but with a blitz peak rating of 767 and a bullet high of 869, they've definitely earned their stripes in the rapid-fire chess arenas.

Nkuadrat's rapid rating journey resembles a thrilling rollercoaster: from a brave max of 566 in March 2025 to racing up to a peak of 655 in May, showing a steady climb fueled by grit and perhaps copious cups of coffee. With over 260 rapid games and a respectable 104 wins, their motto seems to be "win in style, learn from the losses."

Playing Style Highlights: A noticeable fondness for the mysterious "Top Secret" opening suggests an enigmatic strategist who likes to keep opponents guessing. And when things get tough, nkuadrat is no quitter — boasting a comeback rate north of 64%, proving that even when the queen has taken a tumble, the fight is far from over.

On game termination quirks: 64 wins came from opponents tossing in the towel (resignations), which sounds like nkuadrat’s fierce pressure is just too much to bear. And for those game finishers, 13 wins by timeout might imply on-the-clock nerves both ways—living on the edge is apparently their preferred playstyle.

Fans and foes alike appreciate how nkuadrat shines brightest around 19:00 hours, holding a perfect 100% win rate at that hour. Perhaps it's the lucky hour or just the prime time to unleash tactical brilliance!
