Jan Gustafsson GM

Grandmaster Jan Gustafsson

Jan Gustafsson, a chess Grandmaster with a knack for keeping opponents on their toes, is not your everyday player. With a FIDE Grandmaster title proudly earned, Jan has proven time and again that the king is indeed in good hands (mostly his own).

Rating Highlights & Playstyle

Jan’s blitz and bullet ratings tell the tale of a fierce competitor who loves the adrenaline rush of quick games – reaching peak ratings of 2303 in blitz (2018) and an impressive 2387 in bullet (2015). His Bullet win rate hovers around a commanding 78%, while he doesn’t shy away from blitz arenas boasting an 85% success rate. Rapid format hasn't been Jan’s playground, but hey, everyone needs a niche!

His style can be summed up as resilient and tactical: Jan has a remarkable 83.5% comeback rate after losing pieces, and his psychological resilience gives him a tilt factor of just 3 – basically, Jan’s as cool as a cucumber under fire.

True to a Grandmaster’s form, Jan’s strategic prowess often shines late in the game with a high endgame frequency (66%) and he averages about 67 moves per win. Patience and precision? Check.
