In the vast kingdom of chessboards and sixty-four squares, imusuf reigns with a quirky blend of tactical flair and stubborn resilience. Known for a peak Rapid rating of 638 achieved in May 2025, imusuf's style could best be described as “sometimes brilliant, sometimes... let’s call it educational for the opponent.”
Chess Journey and Style
Preferring Rapid play as their battlefield, imusuf packs a punch with a solid bulk of games—over 700 rapid clashes, achieving a win rate just north of 50%. Not one to rush defeats, imusuf’s average winning game lasts about 48 moves, proving patience is a virtue in their playbook. Despite a modest Blitz and Bullet presence (and an average rating in those faster time controls hovering in the 200s and 300s), their true domain lies in the thoughtful tempo of Rapid chess.
Imusuf favors a strong opening repertoire with a special knack for the Queens Pawn Opening, especially the Chigorin Variation, scoring an impressive 76% win rate across 17 games. The Alekhines Defense Scandinavian Variation also seems to be a favorite tactical playground, boasting a nearly 65% success rate.
Victories and Defeats
The warrior’s blade has cleaved victory in memorable games, including a recent notable win by resignation against sharara216 on June 2nd, 2025, in a sharp Bishops Opening battle that featured clever piece play and a timely knight fork. But not every dance ends in triumph—imusuf has encountered tough foes like sanjeev0227 and caruana-fan33, from whom defeats were taken as learning moments (or the chess gods reminding them humility is key).
Psychology & Quirks
Tilt factor sits low at 8, which means imusuf mostly keeps cool—except when the clock hits midnight, the declared "best time of day to play," which perhaps explains a win rate spike of nearly 79% at zero hour! A mysterious chess ninja emerging from the night to outwit opponents while the rest of the world sleeps.
