Pickaety: The Chess Adventurer

Meet Pickaety, a chess player who dances on the edges of brilliance and chaos. Rising swiftly through the ranks, Pickaety’s 2025 blitz rating peaked at a modest 305, but don’t let numbers fool you—they only tell half the story.

Known for a curious affection for the Englund Gambit in blitz (yes, that obscure gambit that many dare not to touch), Pickaety scored a sweet 100% win rate there. Rapid games showcase a versatile opening repertoire — from the solid Queen's Pawn Opening to the aggressive Pirc Defense Modern Defense Geller System, with win rates sometimes soaring to a flawless 100%. And let’s just say, if it’s a King's Pawn Opening, Pickaety knows exactly how to dance, racking up perfect wins on several variations.

But it’s not all smooth sailing: bullet chess reveals a tough battleground, where Pickaety has yet to secure a win, reminding us that everyone has their kryptonite (mine tends to be blinking clocks too). Despite that, the player’s comeback rate is a striking 61.54%, and after losing a piece, Pickaety bounces back with a perfect win record—a true fighter!

Pickaety’s psychological game is just as intriguing: a tilt factor of 5 means a little frustration seeps in now and then. Still, a 14% better record in rated versus casual games suggests serious nerves of steel when stakes are high.

Off the board, Pickaety faces opponents across the spectrum, with the greatest nemesis being siallag, who inflicts more losses than any other, holding Pickaety to a ~17% win rate. Yet many others have fallen victim to Pickaety’s calculated strategies, boasting perfect win rates against foes like loriscrl, starofvivi, and ethan_8507.

Fun fact: Pickaety prefers to strike between 8 am and 6 pm, when the win rates peak, and usually ends games after about 45 moves when victorious.

Whether it's the unpredictable gambits or the steadfast rapid battles, Pickaety is a player who embodies the adventurous spirit of chess. Keep your eyes peeled—there’s always a surprise waiting from this chess maverick.
