Adrian Budzisz: AdekB2005
From Candidate Master to Blitz Addict
Adrian Budzisz, known on the board as AdekB2005, is a FIDE Candidate Master with a clear love for fast chess. Blitz chess is his preferred time control, and the numbers back it up. He has played so many quick games online that his opponents list reads like a small chess community, complete with familiar rivals, friendly rematches, and one very satisfying winning streak.
Style, Openings, and Chaos
Adrian's style is fearless and creative. One of his signature favorites is the Amar Gambit, an unusual opening that often takes opponents out of their comfort zone. He also scores well in the French Defense, and as White he regularly uses the King's Indian Attack to build a slow, deadly attack. His numbers show an 83.6% comeback rate, so a lost piece is rarely the end of the story.
Rivalries and Running Battles
If there is one name that defines Adrian's online history, it is Bacarz2006. They have faced each other hundreds of times, with Adrian holding the better record. Another frequent opponent, Iwo Karolczuk, has given him more trouble, proving that even the strongest blitz players have a nemesis. He also holds a surprisingly one sided score against mziusiek, which might be the most polite rivalry in chess.
