Vivazs: The Queen of Comebacks and (Almost) King of the Board
Meet Vivazs, a chess player whose journey through the ranks is as thrilling as a well-executed gambit! Known for a dynamic playing style with an affinity for both the Vienna Game and the Scandinavian Defense, Vivazs mixes tactical flair with moments of early resignation that keep opponents guessing and spectators chuckling.
Rating Rollercoaster
Vivazs boasts a peak rapid rating of 580 (achieved in February 2024), a blitz high of 284 in May 2025, and a bullet best at 311 in March 2024. While these numbers might sound like an intense adrenaline rush, they reflect an unyielding passion for the game and a fearless approach to matchups—even if the scoreboard sometimes swings wildly.
Playing Style & Profile
This player’s average game length hovers around 45 moves when winning and 40 moves when losing, proving that no piece is safe and no game dull. With an enviable comeback rate of nearly 66%, Vivazs is the type who refuses to say “checkmate” until the final move—often making miraculous fights after losing material.
However, a 20% early resignation rate hints that sometimes the knight takes a detour to the couch early in the game, perhaps to binge chess tutorials or scout new openings. The psychological tilt factor is low at 6, so don’t expect any dramatic tantrums here—just steady, tongue-in-cheek perseverance.
Opening Choices: Lovable and Lethal
- Blitz favorites: The Scandinavian Defense Closed with a perfect 100% win rate, and both the Vienna Game and Van't Kruijs Opening standing proud with a 75% success rate.
- Rapid favorites: Bishops Opening leads the way with two-thirds wins, while Alekhine's Defense shows clever strategic depth, winning more than half of the battles.
Record Highlights & Rivalries
Vivazs's overall record shows gritty competition: in blitz, 26 wins to 28 losses with a few draws; rapid play is tougher with a 69-86-11 win-loss-draw split; and bullet chess sees 2 wins against 6 losses. Yet, the wins against some opponents are quite a spectacle with absolutely perfect win rates against several users like aryy12345 and fruitgala, who learned the hard way!
Recent Games: The Drama Continues
Just on June 5, 2025, Vivazs played an intense rapid game using the Petrov Defense Steinitz Attack against aryy12345, snatching victory in an abandoned match — because who needs drawn out endgames when you can finish strong and move on? The very day prior, Vivazs crushed fruitgala using the Four Knights Game Scotch Variation with style and bravado. Sure, there were also a few losses by resignation and checkmate recently, but every defeat is just a plot twist in Vivazs's ongoing chess saga.
Fun Facts
