Robert Wieczorek

Robert Wieczorek (aka robusss)

Born to confound opponents and chess clocks alike, Robert Wieczorek is a blitz virtuoso known for his explosive openings that are best kept secret—yes, really, it's called "Top Secret" for a reason! With a peak blitz rating of 2273 in November 2019 and a rapid rating soaring to 2271 in March 2023, Robert has proven himself a master of both furious speed and thoughtful strategy.

Robert's playing style is a curious blend of patience and tactical aggression. He doesn't shy away from long, grueling battles (averaging over 74 moves per win), yet he knows when to fold 'em early with an early resignation rate under 1%. A true endgame wizard, he dabbles in endgames nearly 78% of the time, turning must-see TV into must-win matches.

With an eye for comebacks, Robert bounces back 83% of the time after losing material, turning adversity into opportunity like a grandmaster Houdini. His win rate when playing white stands proudly at 58%, while his black pieces summon victories over half the time too—proof that he can dance with the dark side just as well as the light.

When it comes to openings, Robert favors the cryptic “Top Secret” repertoire, achieving nearly a 55% win rate over thousands of blitz games. He's not afraid to experiment occasionally with well-known lines like the King's Indian Defense Samisch Yates Defense, Semi Slav Defense, or the Queens Gambit Declined Three Knights Variation—all with flawless success in his limited outings.

Robert tends to perform best in the evening, especially around 8 PM—ideal for those late-night duels where his brain is freshest and his tactical prowess sharpest. His all-time longest winning streak is an eye-watering 16 games, while his maximum losing streak is a manageable 7, showing remarkable resilience.

Funny enough, while Robert crushes opponents with calm and confidence, his win rate dips dramatically during the wee morning hours—beware challenging him before his first coffee! He is a player who respects his adversaries but shows no mercy on the board, resigning with dignity when bested but also delivering checkmates with flair.
