Bajram Maka “bajrambaba”

Bajram Maka, a.k.a. bajrambaba, is a chess enthusiast who has gracefully danced across the 64 squares with a blend of fiery ambition and strategic wit. Starting off modestly with a Blitz rating around 300 in late 2022, Bajram's journey resembles a rollercoaster with loop-the-loops of improvement and a sprinkle of setbacks, ultimately hitting an impressive Blitz peak of 1151 in August 2024.

Known for his resilience, Bajram sports a comeback rate of a staggering 78.5%, proving that even when things look grim, he’s lurking just a move away from turning the tables. An early resigner? Barely (only 2.6%), but don’t mistake patience for passivity — his endgame frequency is a solid 74.36%, showing a fondness for those thrilling closing battles that stretch the nerves (and the clock).

His performances vary charmingly across time controls: a blitz aficionado with over 900 wins in blitz games, a fierce bullet tactician (peak rating 1157 in May 2025), and a respectable rapid player reaching over 1000 once. Experimental and diverse in openings, Bajram favors the “Top Secret” approach in Blitz (a mysterious category of play), despite boasting a delightful 100% win rate with the Alapin Sicilian Defense — clearly a weapon he plays when feeling particularly sneaky.

Off the board, Bajram seems to possess a gambler’s spirit: his longest winning streak is a cool 19 games, quickly balanced by a longest losing streak of 9. At peak alertness early in the morning (that’s right, 06:00 is his “best time to play”), Bajram might be either the chess world’s earliest bird or just someone who enjoys confusing opponents with groggy brilliance.

Bajram’s game style combines pragmatism and flair. His average moves per win clock in at 68 — he’s clearly not one to rush to victory, savoring every tactical twist and strategic turn. Tactical awareness is his friend, even after losing a piece, with a still respectable 45.45% win rate in such situations. On the psychology side, a “tilt factor” of 9 suggests Bajram knows the frustration dance well, but it rarely keeps him down for long.

For those who love thrilling endgame dramas and clutch comebacks, watching Bajram Maka is like enjoying a fine chess soap opera — heartbeats racing, pieces flying, and no shortage of unexpected plot twists. He's tirelessly grinding up the ratings ladder, crafting moves that balance calculation and cheek. So, if you encounter bajrambaba on the board, remember: patience, pinning, and a willingness to battle to the bitter end are the mantras of this spiritual warrior of the chessboard.

Recent Highlight

In a recent bullet duel on June 3, 2025, Bajram clinched a thrilling victory against surajsingh727 using the Old Benoni Defense — timing out his opponent, but with style: after a fierce tactical tussle, the clock decided the final outcome in Bajram’s favor. When Bajram says “winning on time,” it’s less about the clock and more about his relentless pressure.
