Chess Player Profile: Nene NANI (username: sekharktho)
Meet Nene NANI, a chess warrior navigating the battlefield of 64 squares with the determination of a knight and the unpredictability of a bishop stuck on the same color. Known in the chess world as sekharktho, Nene’s journey from humble beginnings to peak blitz rating glory showcases not just talent, but persistence—even if the path is more roller coaster than smooth castle.
Rating & Style
Starting strong in 2017 with a blitz peak of 1079, and a rapid peak at an impressive 1390, Nene has kept the scoreboard lively over thousands of games. While the blitz win rate hovers around the 43% mark, every game played is an opportunity to learn, win, lose, or occasionally throw in a dramatic early resignation (only about 3% of games, but who's counting?). In rapid, the win chance dips a bit, but the fight is ever-present.
Playing Personality
Nene is the kind of player who embraces endings with nearly 60% endgame frequency, proving that the final moments of the game are where the true grit shines. Average moves per win amount to around 52, suggesting patient strategizing, but in losses the games drag on—an average of 63 moves—because giving up is not the Nene way.
A true chess tactician, Nene bounces back remarkably well, with a comeback rate near 60% and a gritty 34% win rate after losing a piece. However, the occasional long losing streak (up to 22 games!) reminds us that even the best minds occasionally meet a black hole of chess doom.
Records and Rivalries
With over 3000 blitz games under the belt, Nene’s favorite opening is a Top Secret favorite—mysterious and effective, but with results that flirt with 44% wins. Opponent-wise, some players get thoroughly outplayed (looking at you, bmwbal and rubelraj with 100% loss rates), while others seem to be pesky adversaries where the score dips. Nene's psychological resilience is notable, though sometimes the tilt factor hits 22%—because who wouldn’t get frustrated when the rook takes a walk off the board?
The Recent Battles
In the latest duels, Nene wielded the Van 't Kruijs Opening with quirky moves like early queen sorties (Qh5!) and tricky knight maneuvers to clinch victories by resignation or checkmate. The games show a mix of creative play and calculated risks, winning some fights and learning from losses. Even at times when the rating dipped below 500, Nene fights on—a true gladiator on the digital chessboard!
Fun Facts
- Nene’s best time of day to play is exactly 8 AM—rise and shine, it’s checkmate time!
- Despite the ups and downs, Nene holds an impressive longest winning streak of 12 games.
- With 1,376 wins in blitz but 1,679 losses, the motto could be: “Win some, learn some, and laugh lots.”
Whether you’re a casual chess fan or a budding grandmaster, Nene NANI proves that dedication, a pinch of craziness, and lots of pawn-pushing can make every game a saga of suspense and excitement. Keep watching this space—you never know when sekharktho will pull off the next unexpected queen sacrifice or resurrect from a losing position with a knight fork only a wizard could dream of.
