rozmaks

Overview

rozmaks joined the online chess grind in May 2022 with a blitz rating of 1687 and simply never stopped playing. Since then, more than 8,300 rated games have flown across the board, the vast majority at lightning speed, because the preferred battleground is the beautiful chaos of bullet chess, discovered in November 2022 and never abandoned. The climb has been steady and occasionally spectacular, with a blitz peak of 2395 (2026-05-11) reached in May 2026 and a bullet high of 2171 (2023-07-02) set back in July 2023.

Volume is part of the identity. In May 2023 alone, rozmaks played 383 blitz games, which works out to roughly a game for every waking hour. Sleep, apparently, is for the weak.

Opening Repertoire

rozmaks is a 1.e4 player at heart, opening with the king's pawn in 604 of 611 first moves in 2022, though 2026 brought a rebellious experiment with 1.d4. With Black, the repertoire leans practical and punchy, starring the Scandinavian Defense and the Modern Defense, plus the infamous Barnes Defense, an opening chosen purely to make opponents wonder if the game has started correctly.

• Scandinavian Defense: the workhorse of the repertoire, featured in over 600 games across blitz and bullet.
• Modern Defense: a bullet weapon with a win rate north of 60%.
• French Defense, Advance Variation: the most profitable line on the menu, winning more than 62% of blitz games.
• Caro-Kann Defense: handled with confidence as White, holding a 56% score across 160 blitz games.
• Sicilian Defense, Closed setups and the Anti-Sveshnikov Kharlov-Kramnik line: over 61% as White.

Style of Play: The Grind Master

The numbers tell the story of a grinder with ice in the veins. Wins average almost 64 moves while losses end around move 53, meaning when rozmaks wins, opponents get dragged kicking and screaming into a long endgame. The comeback rate sits at a monstrous 88%, early resignations occur in only about 5% of games, and the tilt factor is a chilly 9.

The checkmate statistics are where things get silly: 924 wins by checkmate against just 130 losses by checkmate, a ratio of seven to one. The queen is the favored delivery device, with nearly 6,800 queen checks fired off over the years, and when rozmaks lands the first check of a game, the win rate jumps to 64%. Add 1,004 wins on time and you have a speed chess player who understands exactly how the clock works.

Rivalries and Recurring Opponents

Every grinder needs a nemesis, and ZloyGepard is it. Nineteen games have been played and the score stands at 9 to 10, a rivalry separated by a single game and clearly destined for a twentieth chapter. At the opposite end of the emotional spectrum sits kingkatti, dispatched 10-2-5 over 17 meetings, proof that rozmaks can be merciful when the mood strikes.

Special mention goes to hesusnavaschesscoach, who has somehow drawn four of ten games against rozmaks, a towering achievement in stubbornness.
