Addin Hadi Rizal (SANTAI-DEK): The Chessboard Biologist

Meet Addin Hadi Rizal, affectionately known in the chess petri dish as SANTAI-DEK. A player whose moves sometimes mimic the unpredictability of a cellular mitosis—rapid yet remarkably precise—Addin thrives in the dynamic ecosystem of Rapid chess, boasting a solid 224 rating in 2025 and a fascinating win rate that suggests a natural aptitude for survival and adaptation.

With an average Rapid win rate hovering near 44%, Addin’s style resembles a true evolutionary strategist, often weaving through King's Pawn and Queen's Pawn openings like a seasoned biologist mapping neural pathways. His rapid-fire blitz games may show some “mutation” with a current average rating of 164, but when it comes to the Petr(o)vs Defense or the Scotch Game, he’s exhibited a 100% win rate—clearly those openings are part of his genetic code.

Known for a hearty comeback rate of over 60%, Addin’s resilience is reminiscent of a tardigrade—tough to beat even after suffering a loss of a key piece, maintaining a perfect winning streak where others might falter. However, beware his "early resignation rate" of 22.86%, a reminder even the strongest cells sometimes self-destruct to conserve energy for future battles.

Socially, Addin’s interactions on the board resemble a microbial dance—often outmaneuvering opponents like heihachi_jd and hemantahe with a flawless 100% win rate. Yet, more stubborn opponents like oruamc and nxchokii seem to resist his cellular advances, keeping the battles unpredictable and alive.

Psychologically, Addin has a low tilt factor (6), demonstrating that like the finest enzymes, he keeps his cool under heat—though his fondness for rapid games suggests a preference for fast metabolisms over slow and steady lab testing.

Whether you catch him studying the chess genome early at 8 AM or adapting his strategy at unconventional hours, Addin’s journey through the 64 squares is as fascinating as any organism evolving under pressure. Expect more evolutionary leaps ahead—because with SANTAI-DEK, the game is always alive!
