András Süvöltős

Profile: András Süvöltős (aka Suvoltos)

András Süvöltős, affectionately known in the chess world as Suvoltos, is a blitz speedster with a knack for dancing on the edge of time controls and checkmates. Known for his aggressive Scandinavian Defense and adventurous Queen’s Pawn openings, Suvoltos has become somewhat of a force to be reckoned with—and occasionally feared by the clock!

Rising Rating Star

From a humble Rapid rating of just over 560 in early 2024, Suvoltos carved his way up to a blistering Rapid peak rating of 943 by mid-2025. His Blitz rating also bloomed beautifully, maxing out at 850. Bullet might not be his calling with a modest peak of 635, but don’t let that fool you—he handles blitz time controls like a hummingbird on espresso!

Playing Style & Personality

With an early resignation rate of barely over 1%, Suvoltos is not one to give up easily. His games tend to be marathon tactical bouts, with an average of nearly 71 moves per win and a slightly higher average game length when losing (just to remind opponents that even losses are lessons). Suvoltos’ psychological tilt factor is impressively low at 8 out of 100, which means he keeps his cool—except, of course, when the clock starts ticking down.

His comeback rate is a jaw-dropping 79.91%, proving that dropping a piece doesn’t mean throwing in the towel. Who needs pawns when you have that kind of resilience? His endgame frequency sits at a whopping 75%, so if you want to wear him down, be prepared for a marathon.

Opening Gambits and Favorite Traps

• Scandinavian Defense Mieses Kotrc Variation: Played over 150 times in blitz, this opening is perfect for Suvoltos’ daring style, but beware: opponents with experience have caught on—his win rate here hovers around 40%.
• Queen’s Pawn Opening & Indian Game: Suvoltos shines brighter here, boasting win rates of up to 65% in blitz and even higher in rapid play. Clearly, these structures are his playground!
• Richter Veresov & Englund Gambit: His experiments with less common lines like these demonstrate his comfort in uncharted waters, with middling success but plenty of flair.

Memorable Matches

Suvoltos recently kept spectators at the edge of their seats during a lightning blitz skirmish against arsenie-68, where he clinched victory by winning on time (because sometimes the clock is your best friend). He’s also known for wiping the board clean with brilliant checkmates, like against me1rambek1, showing he packs lethal surprises up his sleeve.

Psychological Mastery & Timing

Best time to encounter Suvoltos? Afternoon delight at 3 PM, when his win rate peaks near 60%! Fridays are also a good bet if you want to see his top-notch chess mojo in action.

With a fun mix of endurance, tactical alertness, and a soft spot for time scrambles, Suvoltos not only wins games but makes sure to provide a spectacle while doing so!

Fun Fact

Despite his serious approach to the game, András might secretly be a fan of mystifying opponents with openings that few dare to try—because why not keep them guessing while sipping their morning coffee?

In the kingdom of pawns and knights, Suvoltos is a clever fox, always plotting the next captivating move!
