Aljoscha Feuerstack - International Master Extraordinaire

Meet Aljoscha Feuerstack, the chess virtuoso who made the leap from amateur puzzler to FIDE International Master with the flair of a grandmaster and the patience of a saint (or maybe just a very stubborn strategist). Renowned for a tactical awareness that allows Aljoscha to turn the tables even when down a piece—boasting a perfect 100% win rate after losing material—this player is the very embodiment of resilience on the 64 squares.

A Career of Spikes, Streaks, and Surprises

Aljoscha's blitz rating has seen exhilarating highs, peaking at an eye-watering 2708 in 2023. A force on the bullet boards as well, the max rating hovered just shy of 2610, which suggests lightning-fast decision-making and nerves of steel (also maybe some caffeine). The player’s longest winning streak—no less than 24 games in a row—sets a terrifying precedent for any opponent daring to cross paths. Currently, Aljoscha is on a solid 2-game winning streak, warming up those mental muscles.

Playing Style & Strengths

With an endgame frequency of nearly 80%, Aljoscha clearly enjoys drawing battles out to the very last move, squeezing every advantage possible, and occasionally coaxing a victory from a razor-thin position. Games tend to be lengthy affairs, averaging over 70 moves to win and even more in losses—a sign that every contest is a chess marathon, not a sprint.

As White, Aljoscha holds a modest but confident 55.85% win rate, while Black doesn't fare far behind with 49.6%. When it comes to openings, “Top Secret” is not just a cryptic tease but a dominant weapon, with a crushing 56.5% win rate in blitz across more than 600 games—opponents beware.

Psychological Edge and Quirks

This player has a tilt factor of 10, which basically means they get really, really annoyed when things don’t go their way—but only just enough to fuel a fierce comeback streak. Indeed, sportsmanship and mental toughness shine through with an astounding 86% comeback rate and virtually no one-sided losses.

The Opponent Chronicles

Aljoscha has tangled with a colorful cast of characters online, boasting perfect war records against some (hello, jurhoy and der_honigdachs) while finding tougher challenges elsewhere. With over 18 battles against buryat2014, every encounter is a little war story etched in bitmaps and IP addresses.

A Modern Chess Legend In The Making

Whether streaming at 2 AM or grinding out precise endgames at midday, Aljoscha showcases the spirit of a true chess champion: tenacious, creative, and a little mysterious. If you find yourself facing AljoschaFeuerstack on the virtual battlefield, bring your best game—and maybe a good excuse, because this IM certainly won’t be going down without a fight.
