Chess Player Profile: razayusufzai

Meet razayusufzai, a battle-hardened warrior of the 64 squares, whose chess journey combines determination, tactical curiosity, and moments of brilliance sprinkled with just the right hint of chaos.

Starting out in the rapid realm with a modest rookie rating around 400 in late 2022, razayusufzai steadily climbed the ranks, peaking at a respectable 1204 in rapid by February 2023. Not exactly Magnus Carlsen yet, but hey, even grandmasters had to start somewhere!

Blitz, however, tells a story closer to a rollercoaster ride. With the highest blitz rating of 1052 achieved in October 2023, the record reveals a near-equal split of wins and losses: 100 wins to 98 losses, proving that every battle counts—even the nail-biters. And with an eye-catching longest winning streak of 9 games, razayusufzai knows how to turn up the heat when in the zone.

Bullet chess? Let's just say razayusufzai’s bullet rating maxed out at 615 — slower than lightning but steadily improving. Four games in 2024 taught them that speed chess requires a bit more rapid reflexes or just plain luck.

• Peak play hour: Oddly enough, dawn at 4:00 AM is the secret weapon time. Is it caffeine or inspiration? Only the pawns know.
