Alexey Sudzusamov (Sdzsm)

Meet Alexey Sudzusamov, a rapidly rising star in the chess world who plays with the speed of a bullet but the strategy of a grandmaster. Known in the chess circles as Sdzsm, Alexey has mastered the art of making your head spin with his complex openings and resilient endgame skills. His preferred battleground? The Daily time control, where he achieved his peak rating of 693, proving that patience and precision can indeed dominate the chessboard.

Rating Highlights

• Rapid: Peaked at 629 in June 2025, with an impressive never-give-up attitude reflected in a healthy career win rate.
• Blitz: Hit a swift peak of 383, showing a fighter's spirit even under the clock's pressure.
• Daily: A quiet assassin, with a peak of 693; proving that sometimes slow and steady wins the race (and the match).
• Bullet: Compact yet fierce, peaking at 360, where every millisecond counts.

Playing Style & Personality

Alexey's chess style is as methodical as opening a stubborn jar of pickles: persistence, patience, and the grudging pleasure of finally breaking through. With an average game length hovering around 52 moves for wins and 54 moves for losses, he likes to linger in the fight, squeezing every drop of strategy out of the position. His endgame frequency of over 50% hints that he’s happiest when the pieces thin out, where true chess mastery shows.

Notorious for his early resignation rate of less than 4%, Alexey prefers to battle until the bitter end rather than throw in the towel early. But be wary – his longest winning streak is an impressive 9 games, and currently, he’s on a 6-game roll. Opponents beware: when Alexey gets hot, it’s like trying to stop a freight train of calculated moves!

Favorite Openings

Like a chef who spices things up in the kitchen, Alexey’s opening repertoire includes:

• Queens Pawn Opening - Accelerated London System: His signature, boasting an 80% win rate in Rapid games; definitely a recipe for success.
• Scotch Game: A classic favorite with over 60% Rapid win rate – a nod to his appreciation for time-tested strategies.
• Caro Kann Defense: Defensive yet effective, with a commendable 53% win rate in Rapid play and a blazing 75% in Blitz.
• Four Knights Game: A Blitz fortress exhibiting a perfect 100% win rate; his opponents might be seeing four knights and losing their minds.

Psychological Edge & Tactical Brilliance

With a comeback rate of over 76%, Alexey is the kind of player who thrives on second chances and turning the tables. Losing a piece? No big deal – he still wins nearly half of those games! And while he likes playing at odd hours (peak winning at 7 AM, surprisingly), his tilt factor is a modest 8, meaning that his poker face usually holds steady even when the chips are down.

Recent Memorable Games

Just recently, on June 5, 2025, Alexey sealed a tactical gem against ChrisBxx by forcing a resignation with the Queens Pawn Opening - Accelerated London System:

"Checkmate, or rather resignation, served on a silver platter!"

Despite some setbacks, including losses by checkmate and resignation in May 2025, Alexey’s resilience shines through. There’s no doubt this player will keep surprising foes and friends alike with his blend of tactical awareness and unyielding spirit.
