Randy Lazarus (rlazarus) - The Fierce Bullet Blitzer

Randy Lazarus is the kind of chess player who lives life at the speed of bullet chess — almost 25,000 wins in bullet games alone, with a rating that once touched a proud 1200 back in October 2012. While that might not sound like Magnus Carlsen territory, Randy proves it’s less about the peak and more about the perseverance — and a dash of daring tactics that keep opponents on their toes!

With a whopping 48% win rate in bullet using his mysterious Top Secret opening, Randy has played over 48,000 games in this furious format. He favors the adrenaline rush of quick moves and quicker decisions, often winning on time or by resignation rather than slow and steady attrition — average game wins clock in at around 44 moves, but don’t let that fool you: losses tend to be slightly longer, reflecting the dogged fighting spirit even in defeat.

Randy's playing style can be summed up as a rollercoaster of excitement: a solid endgame frequency of 37% mixed with an impressive 62% comeback rate after losing material. So, if you get a piece early, don’t start celebrating — Randy likes to turn tides like a chess Houdini. However, a tilt factor of 22 warns that even our hero isn't immune to moments of frustration, which might be an opportune moment to capitalize on him!

Tuesdays and 5am and 17pm seem to be Randy’s golden hours, with win rates hovering around 50%, proving that either an early riser or a late-night strategist can find success. His longest winning streak reached an admirable 17 games, while a brutal 22-game losing skid shows the highs and lows of dedication — hey, even champions have their off days.

Recent Battles

In his most recent victory, Randy triumphed in a rapid-fire game, winning by timeout on January 8, 2022, showcasing precise use of the Alekhine’s Defense against his opponent MEN_OF_STONE. On the flip side, January 14th was a tougher day with two close losses, featuring an epic resignation and a tense timed finish, proving battles are won and lost but the game goes on.

Off the board, Randy’s war chest is filled with clever moves and resilience — if you see him online, be prepared for swift attacks, cheeky gambits, and sometimes, a fast resignation (about 1.5% of games). But above all, Randy Lazarus embodies the tenacity of an enthusiast who plays to win, learns from loss, and always keeps that Top Secret opening ready for a surprise.
