Meet CushRead: The Rollercoaster Rapid Ruler

Current Form & Recent Battles
Recently, CushRead closed multiple games with a flourish. For instance, a dramatic checkmate victory against venom-2021 showcased tactical prowess and no mercy for the opponent’s king, while a resilient abandonment win against mberrrara reminds us that sometimes the opponent just throws in the towel!
