Meet Reizzuw
Beginning their formal chess journey in 2022, Reizzuw immediately showed a passion for competitive play by maintaining active participation in both Rapid and Blitz formats. Their initial Rapid rating soared as high as 584 in that debut year, though, like many competitive players, they experienced highs and lows and finished at 364 by year’s end. Despite the fluctuations, they continued refining their skills, eventually achieving an impressive Rapid peak of 466 in 2024. In Blitz, Reizzuw began with a modest rating in 2022, but steadily improved, reaching a notable maximum of 339 the following year.
Tallying over a hundred rated games across these years, Reizzuw boasts a total Rapid record of 55 wins, 59 losses, and 8 draws. Their Blitz record also highlights solid gameplay, with 11 wins, 13 losses, and 2 draws so far. They enjoy exploring a wide variety of openings, with particular proficiency in the Caro-Kann Defense, where their dedication has yielded strong win rates. Other personal favorites include the Nimzowitsch Larsen Attack and Reti Opening, showcasing a flair for creative and flexible strategies.
Known for their determination, Reizzuw has a knack for staging comebacks (with a noteworthy comeback rate). They often take their games into deeper endgame scenarios (nearly 40% of the time), showing a preference for long battles. On average, their wins come slightly faster than their losses, indicating a sharp tactical edge when ahead on the board. Even so, they guard against tilt with a relatively low early resignation rate, revealing a resilient and fighting spirit, and have carved out a longest winning streak of five consecutive victories.
On the psychological front, Reizzuw remains mindful of their tilt factor and leverages rated matches to sharpen their competitive edge. Time of day also plays a role in their performance, seeing substantial success during later hours on certain days. Despite some ups and downs, Reizzuw’s steady commitment to improvement is evident in every match they play. From mastering new openings to regularly challenging a wide variety of opponents, their journey in chess is a testament to passion, growth, and the pursuit of excellence on the board.
