Svyatoslav Bazakutsa - The International Master with a Tactical Edge

Svyatoslav Bazakutsa, known in the chess world by his username tuschessCM1, is an accomplished International Master who has made a significant mark on the bullet, blitz, rapid, and daily chess formats. Earning the coveted International Master title from FIDE, Svyatoslav has been dazzling opponents with his aggressive play and strategic finesse.

Starting modestly in the bullet rating range of 1693 back in early 2020, Svyatoslav quickly blitzed his way up to an astonishing peak of 2854 in July 2023 — proving that even speed demons can have staying power. His blitz rating paralleled this sprint, hitting a peak of 2843, where he tactically mated many an opponent before they could blink. Rapid chess fans also know him for his precision, with a highest rating of 2525. And although daily chess may require a bit more patience, his steady climb to 2026 by late 2024 shows he’s well-rounded and relentless.

Svyatoslav’s playing style is not for the faint-hearted. With a comeback rate of over 75% and an impressive 71% win rate even after losing a piece, this master knows how to turn the tide. A true gladiator on 64 squares, Svyatoslav often engages in long tactical battles, with an average of nearly 69 moves per win and even more per loss, indicating his games are marathons, not sprints.

Ever the psychological warrior, his tilt factor is kept under control, and his peak performance sometimes strikes in the dead of night—1 AM is his best time to play, a nocturnal knight making moves while others snore. Whether it’s a sharp opening or a sly endgame maneuver, Svyatoslav’s victory methods range from quick resignations by opponents to classic checkmates and time victories.

His preferred opening strategies are closely guarded — in fact, “Top Secret” is ironically listed as his go-to repertoire, perhaps to throw off any curious challenger! With a bullet winning rate over 73% using this secret arsenal, it’s clear it works like a charm. His well-known resilience shows in long winning streaks hitting an incredible 123 games, proving that once he’s in the zone, he’s practically unstoppable.

Recent Battles

Svyatoslav's recent victories include triumphs over tough opponents like professor_laxis and cabemon in Chess960 Daily tournaments and a decisive win by resignation against volodymyr_khoroz in the Kharkiv Chess Team showdown. Even in losses, Svyatoslav’s games demonstrate sharp, competitive spirit itching for the next match.

To sum it up succinctly: Svyatoslav Bazakutsa is a chess force combining speed, strategy, and stamina with a pinch of mystery and a dash of midnight magic. Opponents who underestimate him do so at their peril — he’s the player who’ll quietly thaw your king and heat up the board with a thunderous tactical storm.
