Besim Uruqi: A Chess Life in Motion

Meet Besim Uruqi, a bullet-flying, blitzing, daily battling chess enthusiast whose journey through the sixty-four squares is nothing short of a rollercoaster ride with a side of grandmaster grit!

From Pawn to Power Player

With a peak Bullet rating soaring to an impressive 2354 in April 2016 and topping out at a blistering 2509 in Blitz by June 2017, Besim is a formidable force on the fast-paced battlefield. Not one to shy away from the rapid and daily formats, he’s carved out a respectable presence there too — demonstrating versatility that any chessboard would envy.

Opening Moves & Style

Besim has a well-loved calling card: the Scandinavian Defense and its many clever offshoots are his bread and butter, commanding over 1500 games with this opening and maintaining a solid win rate above 56%. He’s also fond of the tricky waters of the Pirc Defense and the stubborn resilience of the Caro-Kann.

His style? Strategic yet unpredictable — like a squirrel on espresso. High Endgame frequency (over 82%) means you’re in for a battle that sometimes goes the distance, drawing out the drama until the very last move. Beware: his tactical awareness boasts an 87% comeback rate. So don't count on early leads!

The Numbers Game

• Games played: Over 27,000 Bullet games alone (yes, that’s more than your average Netflix binge episodes!)
• Win rates of 53%+ on most days, with Sunday being his lucky charm: 55.34% wins.
• Favored time for best play? Around the witching hour — or precisely 4 AM. Night owl or chess vampire? You decide.
• Longest winning streak: A jaw-dropping 20 games. Longest losing? A humbling 49 — because even champs have those "off days."

Personality through Play

Known among opponents for steady nerves (a Tilt Factor flirted near 50, making him almost immune to rage quits or dramatic meltdowns), Besim tends to make opponents sweat with a clever mixture of calm resilience and clinical timing. He tends to resign early only about 2.2% of the time—clearly, he's here for the fight!

Fans of his know he loves a good blitz match but don’t be fooled—his Bullet games have witnessed over 14,000 wins, proving he can think on his feet while your coffee cools.

Recent Battles

Besim's latest victories include a tense time-control triumph over Otto_Kester and a resignation win versus Milien1701. Even when encountering defeat — like the sharp checkmate by FiyaFwy using the Sicilian Dragon — he remains undeterred, ready to conquer the next game.

In Closing

Whether you know him as a blitz beast, a bullet wizard, or that friend who’s very serious about online chess stats, Besim Uruqi's chess journey is a thrilling saga of peak performances, spicy openings, and resilient comebacks. If chess were a dance, Besim would be that one partner who occasionally trips but always twirls back into step with style and a cheeky grin.
