Щука

Chess Profile: Щука (aka oZDOMo)

Meet Щука, an adventurous chess player whose rating journey resembles a rollercoaster ride — thrilling, unpredictable, and never boring! With a rapid rating peaking just shy of the 1000 mark in late 2021, Щука demonstrated early promise and continues to battle on the 64 squares with unwavering gusto, even if the numbers sometimes seem to take their own scenic route downward.

Playing Style & Strengths

Щука loves the classics but adds a twist to the dance of pawns and knights. Their preferred battleground is Blitz, where quick wit and reflexes come into play. A fearless campaigner, Щука isn’t shy to dive into openings like the King’s Pawn Opening (with a solid 61% win rate in 2025!), the Scandinavian Defense (which boasts a tidy 60% success), or even the quirky Top Secret variations, because who doesn't like a little mystery on the board?
Their longest winning streak of 9 games proves that when the stars align, Щука can launch a blitzkrieg of brainpower — while the longest losing streak of 8 reminds us all that chess has its humbling moments.

Famous Rivalries & Friends

Щука has played Slyapa1 fourteen times with a respectable 64.29% win rate, and boasts perfect records against regular opponents like sitompul17, bonzednem, and mardokkin — talk about a nemesis for those players! Some opponents like x4zr4x managed to crack the code, handing Щука a loss or two, but nothing can keep this player down for long.
