International Master Remo Enrique Bassan Noriega (removsky)
Behold the story of Remo Enrique Bassan Noriega, better known online as removsky, a knight of the 64 squares who has earned the prestigious title of International Master from FIDE. Known for his fierce battlefield presence in both blitz and bullet chess, Removsky has been a relentless competitor on Chess.com, facing thousands of opponents and emerging victorious more often than not.
Rise Through the Ranks
Removsky's chess journey is a tale of grit and precision. Starting with blitz ratings just shy of 2000 back in 2015, he soared to a blistering peak blitz rating of 2753 in September 2022 and even crossed the legendary 2900 barrier in bullet chess by June 2025, achieving a phenomenal peak bullet rating of 2938. This shoot-for-the-stars attitude in bullet reflects a near-unstoppable speed demon, capable of turning chaos into checkmate.
Playing Style & Tactical Prowess
Known for a stellar comeback rate of over 84%, Removsky refuses to bow out early, preferring to fight until the very end — his motto: "Resignation is for the weak, a true warrior plays on!" With an average of about 81 moves per win and 89 moves per loss in games, patience is as much a weapon for him as a knight fork or queen sacrifice.
He’s also rather “psychologically tempered” with a modest tilt factor of 18, meaning he handles the ups and downs of competitive chess better than your average Sunday blitz enthusiast. His best time to strike opponents down? The magic hour of 11 AM — prime brainpower time!
Notable Openings & Success
Removsky’s opening repertoire is a guarded secret on the surface ("Top Secret" wins it literally thousands of games), but among his preferred weapons are:
- Alekhine's Defense - Scandinavian Variation: where he boasts a crushing 77.78% win rate.
- Reti Opening Sicilian Invitation: with a respectable 57.14% success rate.
- Indian Game variants: where he mixes trickery and solid play to keep adversaries sweating up the clock.
Career Highlights & Streaks
With over 4,200 wins in bullet alone and a lightning-fast style, removsky has enjoyed a longest winning streak of 20 consecutive games—probably frightening enough to make a grandmaster reconsider their morning coffee. As of now, he’s happily riding a 7-game winning streak. On the flip side, his longest losing streak is 18 games, a humbling reminder that even IMs face their demons.
Recent Battles
In his latest encounter, Removsky showcased tactical flair and strategic depth, crushing his opponent with an elegant performance in the Alekhine's Defense – Scandinavian Variation. This victory wasn't won on material advantage alone but on time — proving that sometimes, it's the pressure on the clock that seals the deal.

With a sharp mind, a treasure chest of opening knowledge, and a will of steel, removsky continues to be a player to watch — or better yet, avoid facing when your clock is running low!
