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.

Summary

Whether blitzing at breakneck speed or grinding out a classical endgame, Remo Enrique Bassan Noriega is a formidable force in the online chess world. 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!

1. Snapshot of your current standing

• Current peak: 2753 (2022-09-22)

2. What you are already doing well

  • Fighting spirit in dynamic positions. In the recent win against karatebabywifey you showed excellent piece activity in the Alekhine-Scandinavian hybrid, culminating in the strong …Rb3+ resource which converted a material edge.
  • Opening breadth. You comfortably switch between 1…c6, 1…Nf6, 1…c5 and even 1…d6 setups. That makes you hard to prepare for.
  • Practical endgame skills. Several wins were scored from equal or even slightly worse endgames by setting your opponent practical problems and keeping the clock running.

3. Main growth areas

  1. Clock Management – your #1 leak.
    Four of the last five losses (and many wins) ended “won on time”. Your moves/minute are solid in the opening, but drop sharply after move 25.
    • Adopt a “Bronstein 15-second rule”: aim to release every move inside 15 seconds unless the position is critical.
    • Replace deep think → blitz flurry with steady pace; consider enabling a visual time bar if your client supports it.
  2. Conversion technique when ahead.
    In the lost Scandinavian vs blacknightmare91 you were two pawns up but allowed counterplay and flagging.
    • Simplify earlier: trade queens or bishops when up material.
    • Use the “three-step method”: (A) stabilise king, (B) centralise pieces, (C) push passed pawn.
  3. Over-ambitious pawn pushes with Black.
    In several Pirc structures you played …b5 or …h5 before completing development and were punished (e.g. 10…b4?! against e-pawn sac). Remember the principle of least commitment.
    • Delay flank breaks until your king is safe and your pieces cooperate.
    • Review model games by Kramnik and Vachier-Lagrave in the Pirc/Modern where pawn breaks are timed.
  4. Piece coordination vs knights on outposts.
    Games vs Juan Cruz Arias and Blacknightmare91 show knights landing on d6/f5/e6 with tempo.
    • Scan every move for enemy “golden squares” (d6, f5, e6, c7). If a knight can arrive in two moves, plan prophylaxis.
    • Add 10-minute tactical drills focusing on invasion squares to your routine.

4. Opening suggestions (quick wins)

ColourCurrent choiceLow-maintenance alternative
Black vs 1.e4Alekhine / Scandinavian mixCaro-Kann (your recent win shows good feel already)
Black vs 1.d4Pirc / Modern & Old BenoniSolid Queen’s Gambit Declined – fewer early pawn storms
WhiteFlexible d4/Nf3 setupsKeep, but study typical middlegames of the London-system for easy transpositions when low on time

5. Micro-exercise from your own game

Try to find Black’s cleanest finish here (you played 50…Bf5+, it also works but misses a quicker mate):


Show solution

8…Bb4+ 9.Bd2 Qe7 and …dxc4 next wins a pawn with attack.

6. Action plan for the next two weeks

  • Play 20 blitz games limiting yourself to 15 seconds per move max. Track how many end under 10 seconds on your clock.
  • Solve 30 endgame-conversion puzzles (two pawns up to mate).
  • Analyse one model Caro-Kann each day; annotate why every pawn move was made.

7. Keep the momentum!

Your tactical eye and willingness to fight are top-class for your rating band. Refine the clock discipline and tighten opening structure and you will breach the next rating ceiling soon.
