Chess Profile: ntzemos

Meet ntzemos, a relentless Rapid and Blitz enthusiast who treats the 64 squares like a battlefield and occasionally a comedy stage. With a peak Rapid rating soaring to 588 in May 2025 and a Blitz peak of 277 the month before, ntzemos is clearly not just playing chess – but on the path to chess greatness, or at least on a wild rollercoaster ride of wins, losses, and dramatic resignations.

Style & Strategy

Known for a tactical awareness that welcomes comebacks (with a comeback rate close to 67%!), ntzemos loves to keep opponents guessing. Yet, be wary: a stinging tilt factor of 6 means that when the going gets tough, sometimes the knight decides it wants a vacation. Average games tend to span about 50-58 moves, showing ntzemos isn't just blitzing through but willing to tussle till the endgame – which occurs in over half of the matches played.

Opening Choices

In Rapid games, ntzemos favors classic and flexible openings. The King's Pawn Opening and its Kings Knight Variation show a respectable win rate nearing 58%, while the Queen's Pawn Opening shines brightest at a cool 70%. Alekhine's Defense (Maroczy Variation) and Scandinavian Defense are also trusted go-tos, holding a balanced 50% win rate.

Blitz reveals a spicy mix of aggression and strategy with dominant showings in the Alekhine's Defense and Queen's Pawn Opening Mikenas Defense – each boasting a perfect 100% win rate in recent games. Clearly, when the clock is ticking, ntzemos knows how to turn up the heat.

Fun Facts & Quirks

  • Longest winning streak: 8 games (because momentum is a real thing!)
  • Longest losing streak: 6 games (we all have those days... or weeks)
  • Favorite time to play: 11:00 AM, when the coffee kicks in and the tactics flow
  • Early resignations comprise about 7.5% of games – sometimes discretion is the better part of valor.
  • Wins more often playing Black (48.07%) than White (47.75%) – the dark side is strong with this one.

Recent Highlights

Victory over shaverty: In a cunning battle of the Vienna Game Max Lange Defense, ntzemos executed a precise assault that forced resignation at move 22. It was a classic demonstration of strategic depth and tactical prowess.

But even champions stumble! A recent defeat against drkkronos shows there’s always room for growth, especially when games end abruptly with game abandoned situations – chess is as psychological as it is strategic.

Opponents & Rivalries

The most frequent sparring partner is ahmetttv, though ntzemos’s wins there come with some fierce challenges (win rate around 12%). On the flip side, many opponents like shaverty, ooduckeggsoo, and sejaljp have seen ntzemos on fire, with a perfect win rate recorded.

Summary

To sum it all up, ntzemos is the kind of player who never backs down from a fight, occasionally takes spontaneous tactical naps (aka early resignations), but always comes back swinging. With an eclectic opening repertoire, sharp tactical sense, and a penchant for playing best after the morning caffeine hit, this player keeps the chess world on its toes—whether delivering checkmates or chasing comeback victories.
