Chess Biography: 휴스아 (husua01)
Meet 휴스아, known online as husua01 — a spirited rapid and daily chess battler with a rollercoaster ride of ratings and a mischievous flair for the Alekhine's Defense. With a peak rapid rating of 415 achieved in early 2023, 휴스아 has danced through the ranks with persistence and style, amassing over 123 rapid games by 2025, boasting a respectable win rate hovering just above 50%.
휴스아's chess style could be described as adventurous yet strategic. With an 80% win rate using the Alekhine's Defense, it's clear that this opening is their secret weapon – a move that keeps opponents guessing and often scrambling. Beyond the Alekhine, 휴스아 dabbles in classic openings like the Center Game and the Nimzowitsch Defense, though those matchups usually remind them who’s boss!
When playing rapid games, 휴스아 averages about 43 moves for wins and sticks stubbornly around 45 moves even when losing – clearly a fighter to the end, reluctant to throw in the towel without a good battle. And speaking of throwing in the towel, resignations occur only 4.55% of the time — so don’t expect to see 휴스아 fleeing early from the board!
A psychological tidbit: the best time to catch 휴스아 at peak performance is around 2 PM — a chess caffeine buzz, perhaps? And while the tilt factor is low (just 5), they show impressive resilience with a 78% comeback rate after setbacks. Clearly, this player knows how to dust off and come back swinging.
Across all formats, 휴스아 prefers the rapid pace but doesn't shy away from daily and bullet games, having peaked at a very impressive 482 in daily chess and experiencing the thrilling lows and highs of bullet rating 137. Bullet might be a wild west for them, but the daily grind is where the real fireworks happen.
Recent Triumph:
On May 31, 2025, 휴스아 elegantly defeated will1547 using a sharp Alekhine’s Defense Samisch Attack, forcing a resignation by move 20. That game showcased a fearless piece sacrifice followed by tactical dominance, a classic signature of husua01's hunting prowess.
Fun Fact:
If chess were a sitcom, 휴스아 would be the underdog hero who loses a couple of rounds but always manages to pull off a comeback just when you least expect it — with a current winning streak rolling and the longest one hitting five games. Opponents beware, because husua01’s fighting spirit is as strong as their fondness for tricky defenses!
