Sławomir Granosz - The Relentless Blitz Warrior
Meet Sławomir Granosz, a passionate blitz chess player whose rating rollercoaster could rival the most thrilling theme park rides. Known in the chess world by the username pmbiuro, Sławomir has clocked an impressive 995 wins in blitz, fighting through nearly as many losses and draws. His peak blitz rating soared to an electrifying 614 in April 2025, proving that persistence and fierce competitive spirit can pay off—even if the journey involves a few tumbles along the way.
Sławomir’s opening repertoire is a curated mix of classic and tricky: a Scandinavian Defense enthusiast with a winning rate of over 52%, and a lover of the Queen’s Pawn Opening, where his success rate climbs to nearly 59%. When his opponent least expects it, he might surprise them with a sneaky Center Game or the Nimzowitsch Defense Scandinavian Advance Variation—openings that keep others on their toes as much as his meme-worthy post-game analyses.
This chess gladiator displays an interesting psychological profile. His tilt factor stands at a modest 8, suggesting he keeps his cool for the most part, although even he sometimes might swear at a fleeting blunder before refocusing. His best time to crush the competition is exactly at 1 AM, proving night owls do have their advantages. With a comeback rate over 81%, it’s safe to say Sławomir refuses to go down without a fight, making every game a thrilling battle of resilience.
When it comes to tactics, Sławomir enjoys the long game — his wins average over 49 moves, while losses drag to nearly 57 moves, indicating plenty of strategic dueling before the final curtain. His games rarely end in dull draws, but when they do, you can be sure it’s because both players agreed to take a breather before jumping back into the heat of battle.
Not one to shy away from rapid and bullet formats, he’s scored victories in these faster-paced games, including a blazing bullet peak rating of 561. Although lightning-fast, he maintains a thoughtful approach that has earned him respect among opponents direct and frequent.

In June 2025, Sławomir showcased his skill with a slick victory against opponent “SoyDenise” where a well-timed queen maneuver sealed the game before his opponent could blink twice. You can revisit this exciting battle here and perhaps pick up a trick or two.

Whether rain or shine, morning or the witching hour, he’s ready to meet the challenge, proving chess is more than just a game—it’s an epic saga of minds battling for glory.
