Meet Səlçuklu Rüfət, better known to the chess world by his trusty username SelcukluR. A strategic wizard of both rapid and blitz formats, Rüfət’s chess journey is a rollercoaster tale peppered with brilliant comebacks, strategic battles, and a dash of fun unpredictability.

Playing Style & Personality

If chess were a battlefield, Səlçuklu Rüfət’s style would be the cunning blend of a patient general and a cheeky trickster. Known for his 78.97% comeback rate, he has a proven knack for turning the tables even after losing pieces — a true “never say die” spirit! His games average around 62 moves per win, showing that he’s not in a rush to checkmate, but rather prefers to outwit over the long haul.

With a tilt factor of 10, Rüfət might get mildly annoyed (who wouldn’t after losing a queen?) but always bounces back—probably with a joke and another game. Best time to catch him online? Around 4 PM, when his brain gears up for tactical fireworks.

Opening Choices

He’s a bit of a mystery, often sneaking in Unknown Openings with almost 50% win rates in blitz play. Occasionally, he spices things up with the Top Secret opening—no further info, but it’s just as daring as it sounds.

In Rapid games, he’s flirted with classics like:

• Italian Game and Scotch Game - sometimes successful, sometimes experimental.
• Kingly maneuvers like Queen’s Pawn Opening and Giuoco Piano, boasting a perfect win record in limited plays.

Recent Battles

Most recent games illustrate SəlçukluR’s skill at steering complex positions to victory: a memorable win by resignation after 45 moves in a fiery French Defense Advance Paulsen Attack. And let’s not forget his beautiful checkmate in under 61 moves in a sharp Caro-Kann battle that left his opponent no chances.

Loses occasionally? Of course! Even legends have bad days — and SəlçukluR’s recent loss against “checkeredPirates” shows just how fierce his competition is. But the guy is never out of fight—ready at any moment to bounce back with another tactical surprise!

Fun Facts

• Longest winning streak: 15 games — enough to scare even Magnus!
• Bests himself by an average of almost 20 rating points when he takes on rated opponents versus casual ones.
• Most played opponent: a friendly rivalry with vorik, exchanged over 140 battles!

In summary, Səlçuklu Rüfət is a tenacious chess player with a growing reputation for resilience, clever mixes of classic and secret openings, and a sense of humor that keeps the game fun — because if you can’t laugh over a missed checkmate, you’re probably playing too seriously.

Next challenge: perfect the bullet rating — maybe speed will be the final frontier!
