Rudolf Sertic (aka Rudus) - International Master

Meet Rudolf Sertic, an International Master who dances across the 64 squares with a blend of tenacity, strategy, and a dash of mystery—just enough to keep his opponents guessing (and occasionally running for coffee). Known in the chess world as "Rudus," Rudolf has crafted an impressive blitz career with a peak rating of 2471 in 2019, proving he's no stranger to lightning-fast decisions and razor-sharp tactics.

Chess Journey & Style

Rudolf's chess timeline is a thrilling rollercoaster: starting with daily games in 2008 with a near-perfect unbeaten streak, soaring through blitz battles where he notched a staggering 1694 wins out of 2899 games using his "Top Secret" openings (we suspect some secret sauce is involved). His endgame prowess is serious business — with nearly 80% endgame frequency, he grinds down opponents into submission with an almost philosophical patience.

Not one to surrender early (only 0.45% early resignations), Rudolf prefers the long haul—average games span over 73 moves, whether in victory or defeat, showcasing his tenacity and love for the deep strategic dance. Oh, and when life gives him a losing piece? He turns it around 100% of the time. Talk about turning lemons into castles!

Competitive Highlights

• Longest Winning Streak: 35 games. Yes, you read that right. The guy just doesn't stop.
• Current Winning Streak: 4 games and counting, presumably while writing this profile.
• Win Rates: Holds a phenomenal 58% win rate in blitz and a clean sweep in daily games at 100%.
• Psychological Edge: His comeback rate clocks in at over 90%, which might just mean never count Rudus out—even if you're up a piece.

Quirks & Trivia

Rudolf's favorite hours for crushing opponents? Early mornings where his win rate skyrockets to over 80% and evenings clocking in a solid mid-60s percent—proving he's equally deadly awake at dawn or dusk.

Warning to opponents: Rudus's tilt factor is 43, so if you catch him on a bad day, just don't. Unless you enjoy watching a firestorm on the chessboard.

Opponent Relations

Having tangled with “computer4-impossible” more than 100 times (and multiple human sparring partners as well), Rudolf boasts a mixed bag of win rates—some rivals get the full treat of his dominance, others slip away with a lucky draw or two. But make no mistake, Rudus is a formidable foe who respects no stale openings and treats every match like a grand finale.

Legacy

Rudolf Sertic isn't just a player; he's a chess connoisseur whose story is told through moves and matches, wins and woes, late nights analyzing and early mornings gaming.
