Jozsef Horvath GM

Grandmaster Jozsef Horvath (aka oldfish64)

Meet Jozsef Horvath, a Grandmaster who’s not just a chess player, but a fearless battlefield commander on 64 squares. Known online as oldfish64, Jozsef has navigated the treacherous waters of blitz and bullet chess with the cunning precision of a seasoned predator – or perhaps a wise, old fish who’s seen it all.

Career Highlights & Playing Style

Jozsef’s blitz journey is nothing short of epic. From humble beginnings with a 1044 rating in late 2013, he skyrocketed to an impressive peak of 2376 by April 2015. While his bullet ranking peaked at 1952, it’s his blitz performance that truly defines him: a 56.63% win rate over 83 games in his secretive, "top secret" opening repertoire — so mysterious that even the cryptographers at FIDE might raise an eyebrow.

Despite his rapid style, Jozsef loves the deep strategic waters, often seeing games through to the endgame, which he encounters in nearly 75% of his wins. Expect an average of 66 moves per victory — yes, this old fish likes to drag out the fight and savor the moment of triumph.

Tactical Prowess & Psychological Fortitude

This Grandmaster isn't just about raw speed; his comeback rate hovers an impressive 81%, showing his grit and ability to claw back from the brink. Even after losing a piece, he wins more than half the time, proving that every sacrifice for Jozsef is a step towards victory — unless it’s a blunder, of course. His tilt factor is a manageable 3, which means he keeps his cool... most of the time.

Memorable Moments

One unforgettable win came against DeepRabbit in September 2015, where oldfish64’s masterful command forced resignation after a grueling battle full of twists, turns, and tactical fireworks.
Of course, even Grandmasters occasionally swim into storms. A notable loss against Nikolay_Milchev was a hard reminder that even wise old fish can get caught in nets — but that’s what keeps the game exciting!
