Mateja Mijušković (Razvalit): The Bullet Specialist Who Never Met a Gambit He Did Not Like
Who Is Razvalit?
Mateja Mijušković plays online chess under the handle Razvalit, and the name fits. He is a player of sharp ideas, quick hands, and an almost philosophical commitment to making the position complicated before anyone has had time to think about it. Across his recorded career he has won 446 games, lost 416, and drawn 30, which is a polite way of saying he treats every game as a coin flip with extra shouting.
His record against the field tells the real story: he beats lower-rated opponents 73.22 percent of the time, and against higher-rated opposition he wins only 24.52 percent. Razvalit is not a giant killer. Razvalit is a very efficient collector of points from people he is supposed to beat, which is honestly a more reliable business model.
The One-Move Man
In 2026 Mateja opened with 1.e4 in 353 games and tried 1.d4 in exactly three. That is not an opening repertoire, that is a personality. The e-pawn goes out, the clock starts ticking, and whatever happens next is between him and the database.
The result is chess that reaches the middlegame fast and the endgame surprisingly often: 67.6 percent of his games make it to an endgame phase, which contradicts the popular image of bullet players as people who resign the moment a rook looks at them funny. His early resignation rate is only 2.88 percent. He may play like a maniac, but he does not leave early.
A Gambit Problem, and Proud of It
The opening data reads like a love letter to Romantic chess. The King's Gambit appears 45 times in the Classical 3.Bc4 line alone, with a healthy 53.33 percent win rate, and the Cunningham Defense branch has been even kinder at 70 percent. When he is not sacrificing the f-pawn, he is diving into the Blackburne Shilling Gambit (30 games, 56.67 percent) or grinding out the Sicilian Defense (96 games, roughly break even at 48.96 percent).
He is also a Scandinavian enjoyer (60 percent over 25 games) and shows up in the Caro-Kann, the Budapest, the Italian Two Knights, and, memorably, one Rapid game of the Barnes Defense that he presumably regrets or treasures. The Scotch Game is the one relationship that has not worked out: 35 games, 12 wins, a 34.29 percent return, and yet he keeps calling.
Built for Bullet
Mateja's preferred time control is Bullet, and his numbers agree. His strength-adjusted win rate in Bullet sits at 59.18 percent while his Blitz figure is closer to 49.85, so the shorter the game, the happier the man. His Bullet peak of 1993 (2026-07-04) came in July 2026, and his Bullet record of 53 wins to 30 losses is the cleanest line on the whole spreadsheet.
The Bullet side of the board also explains his termination stats. He has won 96 games on time and lost 116 on time, meaning flags are a genuine strategic consideration in his life. He has won 118 games by checkmate and lost only 36, which is a nice reminder that when the flag does not intervene, he is usually the one delivering the blow.
Swindles, Comebacks, and the Queen
Here is the stat that should worry his opponents: after losing a piece, Razvalit still wins 48.42 percent of those games. His comeback rate across the dataset is 86.1 percent. Half a piece down is not a loss to him, it is an invitation to misunderstand the position together with the other guy.
He is also a check monster in the making, with 2,036 checks delivered across 892 analyzed games. The Queen is his favourite instrument of harassment by a wide margin, followed by the rook. To no one's surprise, when he is the first to give check he wins 64.79 percent of the time.
If you are looking for a signature game, enjoy this attempt at the romantic stuff:
.The Rivalries
Every club player has a nemesis, and for Mateja it is Jokodok2026. Nine games. Nine losses. Zero wins. It is the most sobering line in his record, and the only comfort is that he keeps coming back for more, which is either courage or a very specific kind of stubbornness.
Happily, balance exists elsewhere. Against a-zee he is a spotless 5 wins from 5 games. Against rickblaine95 he is 5-1, against pavlos_kats 3-1, and against iplayb2 he leads 3-2. The bad ones are jordan-castle (0-4), epicphailur (1-3) and that jokodok2026 problem again.
Streaks, Hours, and Habits
His longest winning streak is 19 games. His longest losing streak is 15. Neither number suggests anything resembling a calm, stable life. The clock data does offer advice though: late evening is his sweet spot, with win rates in the sixties and seventies between 16:00 and 23:00, and Sunday afternoons apparently find him in a generous mood toward himself at 76.92 percent.
His average game runs around 64 moves, his first capture lands on move 6.6, and he has played the same handful of opponents over and over, which gives his career the feel of a neighbourhood blitz table rather than a grand arena. That is a compliment.
What you can expect from Razvalit is simple: 1.e4, a gambit somewhere, a Queen delivering checks, a piece or two misplaced, and a result that goes to whoever handles the last five seconds better. He has been doing it since 2023, he peaked at 2245 in Blitz and he is still going. Bring a clock with a working flag.
