Andrej Ozol

Profile Summary: Andrej Ozol (A_Ozol_86)

Meet Andrej Ozol, a cunning and relentless chess player whose rating rises faster than his coffee consumption on a Monday morning. With a peak rapid rating of a respectable 1607 as of May 2025, Andrej has proven himself a significant contender across all time controls—rapid, blitz, and bullet.

Chess Journey and Ratings

Starting at a modest ~1349 in rapid back in late 2020, Andrej steadily climbed the ranks, reaching his career-best 1607 in rapid by 2025. His blitz skills peaked impressively at 1500, and although his bullet rating dipped a bit after a roaring high of 1117 in 2023, his bullet games remain a wild rollercoaster of sharp tactics and rapid-fire decisions.

Style and Strategy

Andrej is a fighter till the end, averaging 52 moves for a win and not giving up even when pieces disappear from his side—a comeback rate of over 67% proves he’s no quitter! He resigns early only 0.44% of the time, which means he’s either confident or stubbornly optimistic. He enjoys endgames (played in over half his games) and prefers to keep the battle going as long as his knight isn’t itchy for action.

Opening Secrets

His secret weapon? The “Top Secret” opening, apparently so secret that it’s hard for opponents to crack, earning him a respectable win rate around 51-57% across rapid and blitz. Andrej has a particular fondness for the Philidor Defense and its exchange variation—boasting an 83% win rate in rapid games with the Philidor, he probably hums the theme of "Mission Impossible" when lining up those moves.

Competitive Spirit and Highlights

With nearly 3,500 wins in bullet and over 1,000 wins by checkmate across all formats, Andrej knows how to finish a game with style. His psychological resilience shines too with a tilt factor of just 13, meaning few things rattle this ice-cold strategist. His best time to strike? 10 AM sharp—so set your alarms if you want to catch him on top form!

Recent Battles

Andrej’s last victory was by resignation against an opponent rated closely at 1586, showcasing his dominance in the Philidor Defense Exchange Variation—where patience and tactical awareness forced a worthy foe to throw in the towel after a cozy 25 moves. Of course, every champion meets defeat, but even in losses, Andrej’s fighting spirit is evident as he battles in complex middlegames and challenging endgames.

Off the Board

When not calculating three moves ahead, Andrej probably enjoys chess memes, wondering if his opponents are nervous or secretly plotting revenge. With a username like A_Ozol_86, he strikes the perfect balance between mystery and precision—much like his favorite openings.

In summary, Andrej Ozol is a strategic tactician, a resilient competitor, and a master of surprises on the chessboard. Just don’t challenge him at 10 AM unless you’re ready for a serious battle!
