Primoz Skraba - The Relentless Blitz Baron
Meet Primoz Skraba, aka ajeto231, a dedicated chess warrior whose passion for the game might just match the number of moves he makes! Known for his persistent battles in the blazing fast world of Blitz chess, Primoz thrives under pressure, timing his best plays mostly around 5 to 10 minutes (okay, often less), where his sharp instincts and lightning-fast moves shine like a grandmaster’s sparkle—if grandmasters were prone to the occasional strategic chaos.
Rating Rollercoaster & Peak Highlights
Since 2023, Primoz has been on an epic journey, steadily climbing the rating ladder. He's no stranger to healthy swings—bullet ratings ranged wildly from the mid-500s up to an impressive peak at 1124 in March 2025. But wait! In his much-loved blitz games, he soared even higher, reaching a scintillating peak of 1452 in May 2025, which is like hitting a lightning bolt of chess brilliance at high speed.
In Rapid and Daily formats, Primoz isn’t just dabbling — his peak ratings of 1304 (Rapid) and 1197 (Daily) reflect a solid strategic layer, proving he's also got the patience to slow his play down and methodically exterminate his opponents’ kings.
Style & Approach
Primoz is a bit of a paradox wrapped in a chess coat: He’s got an 86.32% comeback rate—you could lose a piece to him and still end up shaking his hand after a win! That’s more comebacks than your favorite sports team has victories (probably). Somehow, this chap maintains a tilt factor of 13, meaning he occasionally feels the heat but doesn't let it melt his psyche.
His moves tend to be quick and decisive, with average decisive games lasting around 60 to 65 moves. He’s no surrender monkey either, resigning early in only about 1.16% of his games – he fights till the bitter end!
Opening Repertoire
Few can rival Primoz's devotion to the Four Knights Game and its various cheeky variations (he’s played the Scotch Accepted Belgrade Gambit 707 times in Bullet alone—some may call that obsession, we call it dedication). He's also fond of the London System and Vienna Game, mixing solid defense with aggressive gambits that keep opponents on their toes.
As for his blitz openings, he sometimes goes all Top Secret—148 games of it! His dynamic Caro-Kann Defense and Vienna Game Falkbeer Vienna Gambit help him spring traps and confuse foes before the 10-second time scramble begins.
Bragging Rights & Rivalries
Primoz’s most frequent opponents include ferdieaguinaldo and juesjuejools, against whom he holds a formidable winning record. And despite facing hundreds of challengers, his personal highlight reels include thrilling victories against chessidiot1001 and weezer_45, showing his battle-hardened spirit.
His online foes should beware: this wizard’s favorite time to strike is around 5 PM, when his psychological peak is at its highest—and his blitz lightning, at its fastest.
Recent Battles
In his latest triumph on June 6, 2025, Primoz squashed the competition with a slick resignation victory over chessidiot1001, culminating in a checkmate sequence so neat you almost hear the faint echo of applause. However, even the best fall—like in his recent loss to CDNP31 (they caught him with a swift checkmate).
