Piotr Sabuk - International Master Extraordinaire

Title: International Master (FIDE)

Known on the battlefield of 64 squares as Kubas1010, Piotr Sabuk is a chess player whose blitz games have the speed and ferocity of a lightning storm, but with the cunning precision of a grandmaster tactician. Having soared from a humble 1362 blitz rating in 2014 to an electrifying peak of 2781 in bullet chess by 2024, Piotr's journey through the ranks is nothing less than inspirational—and occasionally frantic in those bullet time scrambles.

Playing Style & Strengths

With a win rate north of 60% in almost every time control, Piotr’s style can be described as strategically ruthless balanced with a flair for tenacious comebacks. An eye-popping 85.81% comeback rate and a jaw-dropping 98.56% win rate after losing a piece reveals that giving up is never Piotr’s style—if the knight is lost, expect a bishop fork to even the score pronto!

He’s also got a knack for long, grueling battles with an average game lasting over 73 moves when victorious, proving that endurance and patience in the endgame are as much part of the arsenal as flicking off quick mating nets in blitz.

Tournaments & Records

Piotr doesn’t just crush casual games; he thrives in high-stake rated matches, maintaining a tilt factor of just 6, keeping his cool even when tempers threaten to boil over. With a current winning streak of 4 and a career-long streak hitting 19, he’s always on the prowl to extend a run and keep opponents guessing.

Preferred Battles

Whether wielding the white pieces or commanding black, Piotr holds an imposing win rate of 66.71% with white and a respectable 60.12% with black—a true master of balance. His secret weapon? An enigmatic opening strategy humorously dubbed "Top Secret," boasting nearly 63% victories in blitz and over 70% in rapid — proving his playbook is anything but ordinary.

Notable Opponents

Regularly facing a cavalcade of challengers like tymon08 and vova_sabuk, Piotr’s resilience is legendary; he holds an astounding nearly 95% win rate against tymon08 and a solid 75% against his formidable foes. Opponents beware: whether it’s a weekend blitz or a late-night bullet scrimmage, Piotr is a force to be reckoned with.

Anecdote

Rumor has it Piotr once turned a desperate bullet game—down a rook and with just seconds left—into a win using a dazzling combination so baffling that spectators swear it looked like he was playing chess and magic simultaneously. Whether fact or folklore, one thing’s for sure: Piotr Sabuk’s chess tales keep growing as fast as his rating.

In short, Piotr "Kubas1010" Sabuk embodies the cunning, speed, and perseverance every chess fan admires — a true International Master who makes every game worth watching, and every opponent wish they had more time on the clock.
