I Made Budiarta (Username: 19DEBU)

Meet I Made Budiarta, also known in the chess arena as 19DEBU, a player whose journey on the checkered battlefield is nothing short of a rollercoaster ride. With a blitz peak rating just shy of 1100 achieved in October 2024, Budiarta embodies the spirit of relentless perseverance—even if victory dances playfully just out of reach more often than not.

Kicking off with a blitz rating hovering around the 300s and soaring up and down like a roller coaster, Budiarta’s average blitz rating demonstrates that every loss is just fuel for a greater comeback—the comeback rate topping an impressive 71.68% confirms this fiery fighting spirit. Sure, there have been losing streaks stretching up to 13 games, but the longest winning streak of 8 shows “never give up” isn’t just a motto but a lifestyle.

Budiarta doesn't just play games; they experiment with openings like a mad scientist! The “Top Secret” opening is their playground, featuring over 1600 games with near-equal wins and losses, which adds a touch of mystery to their approach. But don’t let that fool you—playing the Scandinavian Defense Mieses Kotrc Variation with a win rate above 57% or the Center Game Accepted Normal Variation boasting a stunning 83% win rate signals serious knowledge and weaponry up their sleeve.

Rapid and bullet formats? Oh yes, Budiarta dabbles there too, with a rapid peak at 910 and a bullet peak creeping up to 573. Though bullet wins are precious and rare, they show a willingness to dive headfirst into the chaotic realms of hyper-fast chess, sometimes clutching victory by the skin of their pawn.

Behind the scenes, Budiarta is the master of endurance, often pushing games well into the endgame phase (61.7% frequency), patiently maneuvering in a battle of wits that averages about 49 moves per win. When the chips are down, their tactical awareness kicks in, winning nearly 42% of games even after losing a piece. Not a beginner’s luck type, but a gritty gladiator on the 64 squares.

Budiarta’s psychological stats reveal a true chess existentialist: despite a tilt factor of 13 (so yes, the emotional swings happen), they know their prime battleground hour is at 9 PM, when strategy aligns with the stars. Their record also shows a curious preference to win more often when playing white, rocking just under 50% win-rate, showcasing solid but balanced skill.

And for those who love the drama, recent games illustrate a tactical storm: a latest victory in May 2025 by checkmate using the Queen’s Gambit Accepted Central Variation, and equally fierce battles lost on time or on the razor’s edge. Times may not always be perfect, but the passion certainly is.

In summary, I Made Budiarta aka 19DEBU is your archetype chess player: passionate, strategic, adventurous, sometimes infuriating, but always hungry to learn and conquer. Whether you face them across the board or just watch their games, expect twists, turns, and excitement—with a sprinkle of unpredictability only a true chess enthusiast can deliver.
