Meet Victor Labussiere

Victor Labussiere, who storms across online chess boards as angryhorse9, is a FIDE Master with a serious soft spot for blitz chess. His username may suggest a grumpy pony, but his play is lively, brave, and relentless, especially when the clock is ticking down.

The Blitz Machine

Victor's natural habitat is the blitz pool, where he has piled up more than 13,000 rated games. His peak blitz rating hit 2696, as shown by 2696 (2025-07-01). He reached that summit in July 2025 after years of heavy lifting, and his rating card looks like a mountain range designed by someone with too much caffeine.

  • Career blitz record: 6,246 wins, 6,313 losses, 1,035 draws. He believes draws are for the other guy.
  • In March 2019 alone, he played 724 blitz games. That is a month of chess with very little sleep.
  • His streak patterns are beautifully chaotic: longest winning streak of 15, longest losing streak of 15.

Opening Repertoire

Ask Victor what he plays and the answer is often the Sicilian Defense. He has faced it from both sides in thousands of battles, from the closed lines to the Alapin and the Rossolimo. He also trusts the Caro-Kann Defense and English Opening to keep opponents off balance, and he is happy to enter the French Defense when the mood strikes. His opening stats even include a fondness for the Amazon Attack: Siberian Attack, which sounds like a video game power-up but apparently works.

A typical Victor game can start with something like

Rivalries and Fightbacks

Every warrior needs a foil, and for Victor that foil is sorch29. The two have collided 159 times in blitz, with Victor winning 98, losing 46 and drawing 15. Yago Labussiere knows Victor's moves better than anyone, yet still cannot fully tame the angry horse.

Victor is also a comeback artist. His comeback rate sits at 87%, and he wins 45% of games even after losing a piece. Translation: do not celebrate early against this guy.

Quirky Stats

  • Best hour to play: 17:00. That is when he is sharpest.
  • Tilt factor: 15. He is not a robot, but he is not a table flipper either.
  • Against lower-rated players he wins 67%. Against higher-rated players he wins 29%. So he fears nobody, but he respects the rating gods.
  • His most common checking piece is the queen. Classic.
