Meet Juraj Matejovic, aka bonusov
Juraj Matejovic, known online as bonusov, is a blitz specialist with a serious volume problem. He appeared in September 2013 at a modest 1355 blitz rating and somehow played 507 rated games in that first month. He ended that same month above 2100. That is not a player who dabbles; that is a player who found his time control.
From Grinder to 2700
The 2013 and 2014 seasons were fast and furious, but Juraj hit another gear in 2019 and went stratospheric in 2024. In March 2024 alone he played 771 blitz games and cracked 2558. By September 2026, his blitz peak hit 2716 (2026-09-05) and his monthly ceiling reached 2716. The chart tells the story of a player who never sits still.
Opening Identity
Juraj is an e4 loyalist. As White he repeatedly enters the Sicilian Defense with the Sozin Attack, and his results in the Accelerated Dragon Exchange are even sharper. When Black steps away from the Sicilian, he is just as happy in the Car o-Kann Defense or Scandinavian Defense. With the black pieces, his true home is the Taimanov Variation of the Sicilian, which he has played more than 1,100 times. In bullet he keeps the same fighting spirit, leaning on the French Defense Exchange Variation.
Rivalries and Streaks
His busiest rivalry is with petitpingouin06. They have met 80 times in blitz, and petitpingouin06 has more wins in that series. On the opposite end is allfokol2012, against whom Juraj won 69 of 73 games without a single loss. Streak-wise, he has put together 28 wins in a row and only 13 losses in a row, which is both impressive and oddly reassuring.
Fun Facts for Late Night Fans
His stats show he plays endgames in nearly 87 percent of his games and has a comeback rate around 89 percent. His best hour to play is 5:00, so he likely operates on a different sleep schedule from most opponents. If you face him on Thursday, watch out; that is his highest win rate day of the week.
