Player Profile: zendica

Once a humble pawn wandering the vast chessboard of 2022 with a Rapid rating barely escaping the basement at 204, zendica quickly showcased a knack for rapid improvement and persistence. Entering 2023 like a knight on a mission, their Rapid rating soared impressively to a max of 860 — enough to make any rook jealous.

But chess, like life, is full of plot twists. In 2024, zendica's Rapid rating took a curious dip from 748 down to 541, proving even the best sometimes get tangled in their own forks.

Playing Style & Personality

With an Early Resignation Rate of nearly 10%, zendica clearly isn't afraid to throw in the towel when the going gets tough—but their 42.7% comeback rate is a testament to their fighting spirit and tactical wizardry. If zendica loses a piece, their reaction? A perfect 100% win rate afterward. Talk about turning lemons into checkmates!

Matches tend to last about 40 moves when victorious, but can drag longer—over 48 moves—when things don't go their way. Clearly, persistence is their middle name, or at least it should be.

Formats & Performance

  • Rapid: 626 games with a solid 50% win rate, proof that rapid decisions can be made with calculated precision.
  • Blitz: 156 games and again a clean 50% win rate—because who says speed chess isn’t zen?
  • Bullet: A humbler 34.5% win rate across 148 games, hinting that lightning-fast reflexes might still need some caffeine.
  • Daily: Slow and steady—nine games with a 33% win rate, perhaps reflecting moments of deep contemplation (or procrastination).

Opponent Highlights & Superpowers

zendica boasts a legendary winning streak peaking at 10 games and is currently riding a nice 1-game winning streak. The username champy34 has been a frequent sparring partner (6 games), and it's rumored that zendica keeps a secret stash of “Top Secret” opening moves that have baffled foes in over 600 Rapid duels.

Quirky Stats

Their win rate by hour of day reveals some interesting habits: mornings (8–12 o’clock) are prime time, boasting win rates over 50%, while late night gaming between 11 PM and 1 AM seem to be hit-or-miss, perhaps thanks to late-night snacks or sleepiness induced blunders.

In a Nutshell

zendica is a player of balance: a blitz and rapid contender who fights through setbacks with indomitable spirit, often turning early losses into dazzling victories. If their games had a motto, it’d probably be: "Checkmate or nap trying."

Hi zendica! Your personalised training report

What you’re already doing well

  • Tactical alertness – you willingly enter sharp positions and spot ideas such as 6.Nxg5!! in your most recent win.
  • Active piece play with Black – your bishops and knights often reach aggressive posts quickly in Scandinavian and Vienna set-ups.
  • Steady improvement – your current best is 860 (2023-04-10) and still rising. Keep the momentum!

Key areas to focus on next

  1. Opening hygiene
    Many losses start with an early queen adventure ( 2.Qh5, 4.Qh5 ). Follow basic principles: claim the centre, develop minor pieces, castle, then launch the queen.
    • Play 10 games where your queen stays home until move 6.
    • Read about development and the value of a tempo.
  2. King safety
    In several defeats your king sat in the centre (Alekhine loss, rapid time-outs). Ask yourself every move: “Can I castle yet?”. Make it a habit.
  3. Clock management
    Four of your last six losses were on time. Practical tips: plan during the opponent’s turn; once below 20 s simplify or repeat; mix in longer games (15 | 10) to build thinking discipline.
  4. End-game technique
    Your rook win vs Rodrigosmiranda was accurate but slow. Drill elementary mates and pawn endings so you can convert quickly when the clock is low.

Next-week action plan

  • Watch a 10-minute primer on the ideas behind the Sicilian Defense, then play it twice as Black.
  • Solve 15 tactical puzzles daily – focus on knight forks and back-rank themes.
  • Play one 15 | 10 rapid game, self-annotate, then consult the engine.

Stay curious, practise consistently, and enjoy the journey. See you on the board!
