Cotne Nadiradze (Username: tsotne123454)
Cotne Nadiradze is a competitive chess player who proves that persistence and a dash of madness make quite the recipe for interesting games. Clocking in with a peak rapid rating of 547 and a blitz high of 251 in 2025, Cotne isn’t exactly the grandmaster of the century — but hey, they say chess is 99% perspiration and 1% inspiration. With an average rapid rating humming around the 500s and a blitz rating that once soared to 251, this strategist prefers rapid time controls but isn’t shy from a little blitz chaos now and then.
Known in the community by the handle tsotne123454, Cotne’s style is a curious blend of bravery and resilience. They have a knack for the Petrovs Defense Classical Variation and the Nimzowitsch Larsen Attack in blitz, boasting perfect win rates there. In rapid games, the Van't Kruijs Opening is their playground, where a solid 70% win rate shows they can turn opening gambits into deep strategic victories.
Cotne's best time to strike? The mysterious hours around 3 AM, when the world sleeps and the pawns tremble. It’s also the time when their comeback rate shines — a staggering 62% of games turned around after falling behind. Clearly, giving up early isn’t in their vocabulary, even if their early resignation rate hovers around 11%. Perhaps a modest amount of early quits offset by epic comebacks.
The player’s recent win by checkmate over fabrifu13 on June 2, 2025, featured a dazzling display of tactical sharpness with a final Rd8# that would make queens and rooks alike bow in respect. Whether it’s fighting off opponents or learning from narrow losses, Cotne maintains a near-even win-loss record in blitz (12-12), while enjoying a more successful rapid record (135 wins to 104 losses).
Off the board, they might just be the king (or queen) of bouncing back after a tough position—proving that in chess, as in life, it’s never over until the last piece falls… or someone yells “Checkmate!”
