Rising from modest Elo beginnings, Busch Man's blitz rating has blossomed like a cell in mitosis, peaking at 688 in 2025 after many tactical “divisions” and strategic replications across thousands of games.
A speedster in blitz and rapid formats, Busch Man thrives in fast-paced battles, where his openings repertoire is as diverse as a rainforest ecosystem. His preferred openings—Bishops Opening and Indian Game—are cultivated with an impressive win rate hovering above 50%, showing that he knows how to branch out and control the board like a well-rooted tree.

His psychological tilt factor is relatively mild at 18, suggesting his mental defenses are as sturdy as a beetle's exoskeleton.
Busch Man's playstyle? A mix of diligence and aggression, averaging just under 48 moves per win and 50 moves per loss, showing resilience with an ability to keep the game alive and kicking like a lively bacterium.
Whether pitting his white or black pieces, he maintains an admirable balance with a White win rate of 50.34% and a respectable Black win rate of 45.9%. No wonder opponents sometimes end up as prey to his well-placed forks and pins!
