Oscar Enrique Zavarce Sayago (oezs95)
International Master - The Blitz and Bullet Beast
Oscar Enrique Zavarce Sayago, known in the chess world as oezs95, is not just any chess player; they've earned the prestigious title of International Master from FIDE. A virtuoso of rapid, razor-sharp decision making, Oscar thrives especially in the fast-paced arenas of Blitz and Bullet chess, where both speed and strategy collide in a whirlwind of moves.
Starting modestly in 2015 with Blitz ratings barely scraping the 1300s and Bullet hovering around 1700, Oscar quickly skyrocketed to ratings north of 2400 in Blitz and beyond 2600 in Bullet by 2024. With thousands of games played—over 3,000 recorded Blitz games alone—Oscar's stamina and passion for this mental martial art are nothing short of legendary.
Oscar's style can be summed up as resilient and tactical: boasting a comeback rate of nearly 89% and a flawless 100% win rate after losing a piece, proving that giving up pieces doesn’t mean giving up the fight. They have a healthy disdain for early resignations, staying for the long haul with an average of 77 moves per win, demonstrating patience despite the fast-game formats.
When it comes to opening secrets, Oscar keeps things tightly under wraps with the mysterious but effective "Top Secret" repertoire, maintaining win rates of about 49% in Blitz and a notch above 51% in Bullet. Rapid games might be fewer in number but Oscar still holds a solid win rate of 60%, proving adaptability across different time controls.
Psychologically, Oscar navigates the mental battle with impressive fortitude, though the occasional tilt happens (with a tilt factor of 12), reminding us they are human too. Their best hours to strike? Mornings around 7-10 AM when win rates skyrocket near 59%, perhaps fueled by a strong coffee and fresh mind.
Oscar’s longest winning streak? An electrifying 18 consecutive wins, setting the bar high for anyone crossing paths. They also hold a near-even record in Blitz with just slightly more wins than losses, showcasing their ability to hang in the balance of competitive play.
In the sprawling battlefield of online opponents, Oscar shows a mixture of love and savage grip; from 100% win records against numerous challengers to a few tricky adversaries like “warlordx” who have managed to snag wins back. But make no mistake, “oezs95” remains a force to reckon with, especially when the clock ticks down and adrenaline spikes.
Off the board, rumor has it Oscar’s laughter echoes over the internet, partly because losing in Bullet at 2600+ isn’t just difficult—it’s downright hilarious for us mere mortals. But for Oscar, it’s all in a day’s play on the 64 squares.
