Piotr Jagodzinski - Candidate Master (Silversik)

Meet Piotr Jagodzinski, fondly known in the chess world as Silversik, a Candidate Master with a knack for blitz and bullet games that could make even Magnus Carlsen raise an eyebrow. Piotr’s journey through the ranks is not just a tale of trophies and titles, but one of relentless determination, tactical wizardry, and an impressive comeback spirit—because who likes to lose anyway?

Chess Career Highlights

  • FIDE Title: Candidate Master
  • Peak Blitz Rating: A whopping 2827 in 2025 – a speed demon’s dream!
  • Peak Bullet Rating: 2725 in 2022, proving that lightning-fast reflexes run in the family.
  • Rapid and Daily Ratings: Respectable and steadily climbing with a rapid peak at 2284 and daily max reaching 2074.

Playing Style & Personality

Piotr isn't your typical chess player. Known for his patience and Endgame Frequency above 84%, he makes every move count, often weaving elaborate endgame tapestries that take his opponents on tactical rollercoasters. His comeback rate is near legendary—over 91%—so don’t count him out once you’ve snagged a pawn or two!

With an early resignation rate below 1%, Piotr fights till the very last move, showing that he’s the kind of fighter who believes in “never say die” (or “never say resign” in chess terms). With White, he boasts a win rate of nearly 46%, while with Black, he still manages above 42%, proving he can tango with the best regardless of the color.

Favorite Openings & Opponents

While Piotr's openings remain “Top Secret” (and we respect that – secrets fuel mystery and victories), he faces a diverse array of opponents, including hilary44, mokatecapucino, bm_on_icc, and coachjkane. His competitive spirit shines against familiar foes and newcomers alike, often showcasing a balanced win/loss record that keeps fans on their toes.

Fun Facts

  • Longest winning streak: a jaw-dropping 22 games!
  • Best time to play? Apparently, around 5 AM when his win rate hits over 61%. Early birds, anyone?
  • Known for rarely tilting – with a tilt factor of just 21%, Piotr stays cool under fire, even when pawns try to betray him.

Whether playing bullet or blitz, Piotr Jagodzinski (Silversik) is a force on the 64 squares—an inspiring blend of speed, precision, and relentless determination. So the next time you see him online, prepare for a battle where every move could be a masterpiece or a mischief!

Hi Piotr – personalised feedback on your latest blitz run

What already works

  • Tactical alertness. In the B12 win your 17…Ne4!  18.Nxg6 Nxg3!! refuted White’s plan immediately – excellent calculation under 60-second clocks.
  • Dynamic opening choice. You switch between the Benko Gambit, the Scandinavian and the Caro-Kann to keep opponents guessing – a big practical edge in blitz.
  • Never give up. Multiple comebacks (e.g. 31…Qxd3+!! in the MaskOfEmotions game) show strong fighting spirit even with only seconds left.

Biggest growth areas

  1. King-safety in your 1.Nf3/1.b3 lines.
    Early flank pushes let Black hit you with …f5/…Qh5 ideas (see the ST-Sandavagur losses). Before playing a wing pawn, run a “queen-check scan” for direct checks/captures on g2, h2 and your back rank.
  2. Prophylaxis & candidate-move discipline.
    22.c5?! (QGD loss) ignored …exf4 and gave Black the initiative. Force yourself to name two serious opponent replies before you move. If either is nasty – pick a different move.
  3. Clock control.
    You routinely fall below 10 s by move 25 while opponents keep ≈30 s. Set internal clock markers: after move 10 ≥40 s, move 20 ≥25 s. Practise 3 | 2 to hard-wire “move-plus-increment” rhythm.
  4. End-game technique.
    In the Réti win you let a +10 position drift until the flag. Refresh the 15 key rook endings (Philidor, Lucena, V vs P, etc.) so conversion becomes automatic.
