Grandmaster Marcin Dziuba
Enter the arena where pawns dance and kings tremble: Grandmaster Marcin Dziuba, or as the chessboard whispers, GMMarcinDziuba. A player with a Grandmaster title from FIDE, Marcin has been dazzling opponents with strategies so sharp they could double as kitchen knives.
Chess Journey & Playstyle
Marcin's passion for chess is topped with a flair for dramatic comebacks — boasting a comeback rate of nearly 87%! Whether in blitz, rapid, or bullet, his tactical awareness shines, showing a win rate after losing a piece of just over half, proving you don’t have to keep all your knights to cause knightmarish nightmares on your opponent.
Known for grinding deep into endgames, Marcin plays an average of 83 moves when winning — patience is a virtue, after all! His openings remain a secret weapon, literally, as all his data on openings is "Top Secret." His win rate in blitz games hovers around 52%, with rapid and bullet formats showing even more impressive stats, where he converts more often than not.
Ratings & Achievements
Reaching a stunning peak blitz rating of 2829 in December 2021, GMMarcinDziuba mastered the art of fast thinking. Meanwhile, his rapid best of 2557 and bullet high of 2483 confirm his versatility across time controls.
Memorable Moments
Marcin once crushed his opponent by checkmate in under 12 minutes, swiftly demonstrating that his time management is as lethal as his queen sacrifices. His longest winning streak stands at 9 games, showing he can get into a groove where even the toughest defense is left shaking.
Psychological Warfare & Personality
With a tilt factor of 6, Marcin rides the emotional waves of competition better than many, using setbacks as fuel rather than flares. His best time to strike? Midnight. It's safe to call him the Midnight Strategist, thriving when others are half-asleep.
Opponents beware: whether it’s outsmarting “theprosecution1” for a dozen duels or keeping “chessshop” on a tight leash, Marcin’s consistency makes him a formidable adversary. And if you ever wonder how he pulls off those wins, check the game logs from January 6th, 2023 — two wins that day sealed his reputation for precision and tactical brilliance.
Fun Fact
When not masterminding chess openings marked as “Top Secret,” Marcin probably enjoys outwitting everyday problems — because if you can handle a blitz game rated 2800+, life’s puzzles feel a lot easier!
