Nikola Stojsin: Bullet Chess Streamer and Endgame Glutton
The Virtual Pit Stop
Nikola Stojsin, known online as nikola_stojsin, is a streamer who treats the chess clock like a dare. He queues into bullet games the way other people scroll social media: endlessly, joyfully, and often at midnight. The numbers back it up. His bullet peak sits at 2010 (2023-06-19), and he once ripped off a 14 game winning streak. He also once lost 14 in a row, but that is part of the charm.
Living on the One Minute Board
Nikola can play any time control, but his natural habitat is bullet. The rating journey is a long, wavy road of late night binges and hard earned progress.
He is a first strike artist, delivering the first check in 50.69 percent of his games, and converting those games at a 53.87 percent clip. Opponents who wait for him to blink usually end up blinking first.
An Opening Book Written in e4
Nikola plays 1.e4 with the devotion of a ritual. As White he is at home in the Caro-Kann Defense and the razor sharp Italian Game: Two Knights Defense. As Black he dives into the Scandinavian Defense and happily dusts off the Blackburne Shilling Gambit to overturn expectations.
Rivalries That Define a Career
Nikola has a friendly obsession with Alessia Santeramo. They have played 147 times, with Nikola taking 45 wins, 21 draws, and a lot of post-game analysis. He has also squared off 36 times against Daniel Naroditsky, a brutal learning series that produced exactly two Nikola wins. Respect to a man who keeps showing up.
- 147 games vs Alessia Santeramo: 45 wins, 21 draws, many rematches.
- 36 tests vs Daniel Naroditsky: 2 wins and a PhD in tough losses.
Grinding Style and Night Owl Habits
Nikola does not shy away from the long grind. His wins average around 65 moves and his losses around 72, and he reaches an endgame in nearly 79 percent of games. He wins 46 percent of the time even after dropping a piece, with a comeback rate of 83.32 percent. His best time to play is 23:00, when the bullet lobbies fill with victims and coffee does its best work.
- Average winning game: 65 moves.
- Endgame frequency: 78.79 percent.
- Comeback rate: 83.32 percent.
- Best clock hour: 23:00.
