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).

Aljoscha's blitz rating has seen exhilarating highs, peaking at an eye-watering 2708 in 2023.
