Nicholas – The Chessboard Biologist

Meet Nicholas, aka Pocoloyo, a chess player whose strategies seem to evolve like nature itself, adapting and thriving in the ecosystem of the 64 squares. With a peak rapid rating climbing to 633 in 2025, Nicholas doesn't just play chess—he conducts a grand experiment in openings and endgames!

His preferred openings are a fascinating genetic pool: the Scandinavian Defense Mieses Kotrc Variation boasts an 80% win rate, proving that sometimes the best offense is survival of the fittest. Not far behind, the Queen's Pawn Opening Mikenas Defense has an 85.7% success, showing Nicholas likes to let his pawns forage for control like a diligent biologist hunting for data.

Nicholas's endgame frequency is 51.34%, suggesting he enjoys the thrill of the survival chase—when the real biology of the game kicks in. Average moves per win (58) hint at lengthy duels worthy of Darwin himself, while his comeback rate of 69.16% shows a remarkable ability to regenerate hope after setbacks.

When things don’t go his way, Nicholas rarely "resigns early" (only 1.8%), embodying an enduring biological spirit of persistence. His psychological tilt factor is a mild 12, so don’t expect any wild species-level emotional outbursts here—just steady, strategic evolution.

Faces off regularly against players like kianb55 and flurela, with mixed results (around 33-67% win rates), but his record against red212121 and gg1411 is a flawless 100%, proving sometimes his opponents get outfoxed as if caught in a predator-prey spiral.

Whether playing on Tuesday afternoons or Sunday mornings, Nicholas’s win rate flourishes between 40-68%, peaking impressively in midday hours (12 & 23 o'clock hitting 100%)—perhaps inspired by the circadian rhythms of a natural chess champion.

A connoisseur of black pieces with a 52.21% win rate and a comeback ace after losing pieces (100% win rate afterward), Nicholas truly is a master of outmaneuvering and out-living opponents on the board. In short, his chess style might just be the perfect symbiosis of biology and tactics—alive, adaptive, and a bit cheeky!
