Meet aña pankeiks (aka "ytzp") – The Rapid Rampager of 2025

In the fast-moving world of online chess, aňa pankeiks, known by the mysterious username ytzp, has been quietly carving out a niche as a rapid-speed virtuoso with a flair for surprising comebacks and quirky openings.

Rating Rollercoaster & Play Style

Despite having a rapid rating that once rocketed impressively up to 445 in May 2025, aňa’s journey hasn’t been strictly uphill — more like a thrilling rollercoaster with loops of victories, hard-fought losses, and occasional draws. Their blitz and bullet ratings hover modestly in the low 100s, hinting that lightning-quick tactics might not always be their best friend. But don’t underestimate the steady hand at longer time controls!

With an Early Resignation Rate of 11.4% (hey, even champions know when to fold 'em) and a hearty 54.67% comeback rate, aňa is as resilient as they come. Their games often stretch to a strategic average of 42 moves per win, favoring patience and steely endgames.

Opening Weirdness & Win Rates

When it comes to openings, aňa isn’t your run-of-the-mill grandmaster. Their favorite rapid weapon? The King’s Pawn Opening, boasting a decent 55% win rate, and some delightful success with the quirky Englund Gambit (almost 68% wins!). They even put the rarely seen King’s Pawn Leonardis Variation to good use, winning nearly three-quarters of their games with it.

In the bullet universe, the Van t Kruijs Opening reigns supreme with a perfect 100% win record (albeit only two games – quality over quantity, right?), while some traditional openings like the Bishop’s Opening have been a bit less kind.

Memorable Moments & Tilt Factor

Although aňa can rattle off streaks of 16 consecutive wins (that’s one hot streak!), they are not immune to the occasional frustrating streak — one time losing 7 games in a row (don’t we all!). Interestingly, their psychological tilt factor sits at a humble 7, indicating that despite a rough game or two, aňa keeps their composure better than most.

Recent Battles: Triumphs & Defeats

Among their freshest victories was a dramatic rapid game against seximagician where ytzp, playing white, employed an aggressive Queen and Bishop combo right after the opening to secure a resignation win after 19 moves. Not a dull moment on that board! Conversely, a recent loss to indrani_gokhale saw ytzp succumb after a tactical skirmish involving Queen sacrifices — proof that even the best have their off days.

Playing Times & Winning Hours

aňa appears to be a morning person – their best time of day to play is around 7:00 AM, where their win rate impressively spikes. On weekdays, Saturday and Sunday are their fortunate allies with win rates over 58% and 61%, making weekends prime time for aña's chess conquests.

In Summary

aňa pankeiks brings a refreshing mix of quirky openings, stubborn resilience, and a touch of unpredictability to every match. Whether it’s a rapid face-off or a casual daily game, they're proving one thing: you don’t have to be serious all the time to be seriously competitive. Expect surprises, some head-scratching gambits, and a whole lot of passion on the board.
