Chess Player Profile: buszuj

Meet buszuj, a chess adventurer whose journey on the board is as colorful as a queen's dance across the squares. Starting in 2024 with a modest rapid rating around 518, buszuj didn't just sit back and admire the pawns; instead, they climbed steadily to reach a rapid peak of 642 in 2025. Not too shabby!

Known for a curious obsession dubbed the "Top Secret" opening — played over 1300 times in rapid games alone — buszuj’s style is a mystery even to themselves. They mix a pinch of London System with a dash of Ruy Lopez, sprinkling in some King's Gambit Accepted here and there, proving a culinary approach to chess openings. When it comes to daily games, buszuj prefers a slightly more conservative path but still manages a respectable win rate hovering near 40%.

Their blitz games in 2025 appeared almost magical, boasting a perfect record from the few they played (3 wins, no losses). Though bullet chess might be a bit more of a tempestuous love affair, with fluctuating results, buszuj remains ever undeterred.

What truly sets buszuj apart is the tenacity: with a remarkable comeback rate of nearly 60% and a 100% win rate after losing a piece, they prove chess isn’t over until the king says so. However, a tilt factor of 9 hints at passionate outbursts when the pawns go sideways — because who hasn’t slammed a keyboard after a sneaky knight fork?

buszuj’s psychological resilience is slightly tested by a preference for early resignation in just about 3% of games, showing they’re not ones to give up without a fight. Game length tells its own tale — winning games average around 50 moves, while losses tend to drag a bit longer, as if buszuj lingers, hoping for that last-minute miracle.

Prep your chessboard for an unpredictable ride with buszuj, a player who combines moments of brilliance, humor, and a little bit of mystery — the perfect opponent you love to face and occasionally love to prank!
