HustlatheGreat

Profile Summary: HustlatheGreat

Once a humble pawn hustler, HustlatheGreat serenades the 64 squares like a grandmaster of chaos and cunning. Emerging from the murky depths of Bullet chess trenches with a peak rating of a blistering 2370 in August 2024, this tactician has played tens of thousands of Bullet games — winning almost as many as lost — proving to be as unpredictable as a squirrel on espresso.

With an arsenal favoring tricky openings like the French Defense Exchange Variation and the Scandinavian Defense Boehnke Gambit, Hustla dances on the edge of danger. Not one to shy away from a gambit, this player clocks an impressive 55% win rate in these lines, which are basically the chess equivalent of a rollercoaster ride through a minefield.

Blitz performances echo the bullet bravado with a peak rating north of 2117, and although rapid games are few, Hustla’s lone draw in that category suggests they prefer their battles fast, furious, and often.

Known for a stubborn spirit, HustlatheGreat boasts a comeback rate of over 90% after losing material—a true phoenix rising from missed chances and blunders alike. This player’s psychological resilience is impressive, though a tilt factor of 18 hints at occasional fiery moments when the chess gods are not in their favor.

The playing style is a study in endurance: average winning games extend to over 71 moves, and losses even longer. Patience is a virtue, except when time runs out, which happens quite often here. Indeed, a staggering number of games conclude on timeouts—more losses than wins—giving the impression that Hustla either blitzes to victory or runs out of seconds in a heartbeat.

White pieces bring a better batting average with a roughly 51% win rate, while Black holds steady near 47%. A tactical player who loves to scramble, their games often culminate in sharp, thrilling finishes, like a recent checkmate victory in the King's Indian Defense or a devilish resignation win in a Sicilian Defense Wing Gambit.

Such is the life of HustlatheGreat: a gladiator of quick wits, a strategist thriving on chaos, a master of e4 and d4 openings, and a player whose love for the game is only rivaled by their ability to confuse opponents and fans alike.

Whether quickest on the clock or deep in the endgame trenches, HustlatheGreat keeps fans guessing—and opponents trembling.
