Simone Pozzari - FIDE Master Extraordinaire
Meet Simone Pozzari, known in the chess realms as StrackedAktonamee, a true tactician and a FIDE Master with a flair for the dramatic and a knack for turning the tides of battle on the 64 squares. Armed with a title that commands respect, Simone finesses the board with a blend of strategic depth and daring creativity, often leaving opponents wondering whether they’re facing a grandmaster or a chess wizard from another dimension.
Simone’s chess journey is a story of perseverance and passion, starting from modest ratings and shooting up to a peak bullet rating of 2759 in early 2025, a blitz peak of 2715, and a rapid rating cresting at 2279. The numbers alone tell a tale of a player who’s as quick with moves in bullet as they are methodical in rapid formats.
Known for a comeback rate of nearly 84% and a win rate above 52% even after losing a piece, Simone embodies the fighting spirit. Famed for averaging nearly 78 moves per win, this is no hyper-speed blitz artist who gives up at the first sign of trouble; Simone’s games are battles that often stretch, entertain, and erupt into fireworks near the endgame.
Opening repertoire? Quite an eclectic menu! From the resilient Modern Defense to the crafty Closed Sicilian Defense Grand Prix Attack, and a special fondness for the Reti Opening Kingside Fianchetto Variation, Simone’s opening choices keep opponents guessing and scratching their heads. Blitz enthusiasts might notice Simone’s sneaky success in the Ruy Lopez Morphy Defense Columbus Variation and the London System, boasting win rates soaring above 70%.
If Simone were a chess soundtrack, it’d be a mix of suspense, brilliant sacrifices, and the occasional “Wait, did they just do that?!” moments. With a longest winning streak hitting a solid 40 games and a temper as cool as ice (tilt factor holds steady at 16), it’s clear that fighting spirit and resilience are Simone’s trademark.
Recent Highlights

Off the 64-square battlefield, Simone remains an enigma wrapped in a chessboard, but one thing is sure: opponents beware, because when StrackedAktonamee is on the move, the kings live dangerously.
