Basavaraj Patil - The Blitz Battler, AKA Basuuuuu

Meet Basavaraj Patil, affectionately known on the virtual battlefield as Basuuuuu. A chess enthusiast who dances on the knife-edge of victory and defeat with a blitz rating that rides the thrilling rollercoaster of highs and lows. From an explosive peak of 951 in April 2025 to those humble 400s early on, Basu knows how to keep the game spicy!

Rating and Playstyle

When it comes to speed chess, Basavaraj prefers blitz and rapid formats, where his tactical awareness shines with a staggering 70.51% comeback rate—that's like pulling a rabbit out of a hat after losing a piece. Although sometimes the losses stack up, with a tilt factor of 14% showing he’s human after all, Basu’s average moves per win hover around 56 moves, proving patience isn't lost amidst the fast clicks.

Signature Moves and Openings

In the opening arena, Basavaraj keeps opponents guessing, favoring "Top Secret" moves (because some strategies are best kept under wraps). He also dabbles confidently in the Queen's Pawn Opening Zukertort Variation, boasting an impressive 83.33% win rate there. The Colle System and the daring Englund Gambit also feature in his repertoire, where victory and creative chaos intersect.

Legendary Battles (With Links!)

Who can forget Basavaraj’s recent masterpiece against gm2369 in May 2025? Winning by resignation in just 15 moves, Basu proved that patience paired with a killer knight fork is a killer combo. Watch the glory unfold here!

However, not every day is a winning day—on May 30, 2025, Basuuuuu was checkmated by ramadhanmaharon89 in a flash. But hey, even superheroes have their kryptonite!

Fun Facts

  • Basavaraj is a night owl, with his best playing hour at 8 AM—guess he likes to strategize while the world wakes up!
  • His favorite hour to dominate a game is the early morning 8 o’clock slot, with a win rate soaring up to 70.59%.
  • His resilience in endgames is top-notch, jumping into late-stage tussles in 61.85% of his games, where knights and pawns become mightier than the queen.
  • Basuuuuu’s opening secrets remain classified under "Top Secret", which sounds pretty spy-like—maybe he moonlights in espionage?

Wrap-up

So, whether he’s dodging blunders, crafting clever tactics, or simply making the opponent wonder if the screen flicker was a move or a sneeze, Basavaraj Patil is a charming, unpredictable beast on the chessboard. Keep an eye on Basuuuuu—because when he's not winning, he's plotting world domination, one blitz game at a time.

Hi Basavaraj (“Basuuuuu”) – here is your personalised feedback

What you are already doing well

  • Solid opening skeleton – the d4 / e3 / Nf3 / Be2 set-up gives you a safe king and clear plans.
  • Early castling habit – in every recent win you castled by move 7, avoiding many cheap mates.
  • Space-gaining pawn storms – a3-b4-c4 squeezed sina089 and others off the board.
  • Staying power – your 80-move victory over groenn shows good end-game grit.

Key recurring problems

  1. Missed one-move tactics around your king
    • Loss vs genoow: 16…Qxg2#.
    • Loss vs giulio_sky: back-rank mate.
    Tighten dark-square control and always ask, “What is their forcing move?” before you play yours.
  2. Pinned or overloaded pieces
    Knights on f3/d2 often get pinned (…Bg4 or …Bb4+), and you lose material soon after. Break pins early or keep pieces defended twice.
  3. Clock trouble
    You dip under 60 seconds before move 25 in many games, leading to blunders or “game abandoned” results.
  4. Black repertoire vs 1.e4
    Mixing Philidor ideas with random …a6/…c5 plans leaves your pieces passive. A single, clean system will serve you better.

Four-week improvement plan

ThemePractical taskTarget result
Daily tactics15 min on forks, pins & mates-in-3Cut blunders by 30 %
King safety10 “king-hunt” puzzles each session, annotate every missed checkSpot mating nets faster
Opening clean-upBuild a one-page cheat-sheet for Colle-Zukertort and pick one reply to 1.e4 (recommend 1…e5 with an Italian-style setup)Reach middlegame with all pieces developed
End-game basicsPractice K+P vs K and basic rook endings twice a weekConvert winning positions quicker
Clock controlPlay five 10|5 games each weekend; spend ≥10 sec on each of the first 10 movesSmoother pacing, fewer time scrambles

Game of the week

Your latest win shows crisp central control. Replay it once, pausing after every opponent move to ask, “What is the threat?” – that habit alone will save many points.
