Sus Raj

Meet Sus Raj, aka Vivo_me

Once upon a chessboard, there lived a player named Sus Raj—better known in the realms of checkmates and blunders as Vivo_me. With a Rapid peak rating of 1273 achieved back in April 2022, Sus Raj has journeyed through the labyrinth of pawns and knights with grit (and a sprinkle of occasional luck). Although the bullet and blitz ratings might suggest a love for reflective, thoughtful gameplay over lightning-fast tactics (peak Bullet: 684, peak Blitz: 509), Vivo_me repeatedly proves that patience is a virtue even in the hustle of timed games.

Style & Strategy

Known for an endgame frequency north of 60%, Sus Raj is no stranger to the drawn-out war where every move counts. With an average of 57 moves to win, patience and perseverance define this player's approach—akin to a chess monk contemplating each strike. Not one to throw in the towel early (early resignation rate at a humble ~3%), Vivo_me often grinds opponents down in long fights, sometimes averaging over 60 moves per loss—which is respectable considering the number of foes out there.

Openings: The Usual Suspects and a Few Curveballs

When it comes to openings, Sus Raj favors the King's Fianchetto and Queen's Pawn Opening with nearly 50%+ win rates, proving effective against the foe's defenses. In the Bullet arena, the Scandinavian Defense - Mieses Kotrc Variation is notably beloved, boasting an impressive ~71% win rate, suggesting that Vivo_me doesn’t shy away from the less trodden paths. The Van 't Kruijs Opening is another secret weapon, where Sus Raj shows a remarkable 63% success rate in Rapid and even 100% in Blitz – talk about mastering obscure openings!

Psychological Profile

With a tilt factor of 9, Sus Raj keeps a cool head amid the storm, although even the calmest minds have their "uh-oh" moments. Interestingly, the best time of day to challenge the kings and queens is midnight (00:00), making Vivo_me a nighttime strategist. The proven comeback rate of 79% says a lot about resilience: even after losing a piece, there’s a nearly 45% chance of turning the tide—a true fighter spirit.

Recent Highlights

Victory dances elegantly through the battlefield: the latest win was a classic French Defense Rubinstein Variation, where Vivo_me cleverly orchestrated a resignation from danikready94 after a neat sequence of exchanges and strategic plays—check out the close call where the queen and rook performed a deadly duet capturing key enemy pieces with precision.

But alas, none are perfect! The recent loss to santino155 featured the tricky Scandinavian Defense Mieses Kotrc Variation, reminding us that even the best can sometimes be outmaneuvered.

Famous Rivals & Friends

Sus Raj has tangled most with gogomine (51 games, with a challenging 27% win rate), but also enjoys smashing lesser-known challengers with near-perfect scores—sorry, danikready94, so_different, and rydog212 (each 100% win rate here!). Playing with these warriors, Vivo_me sharpens the mind and the sword (or pawn).

Fun Fact

Sus Raj’s opening repertoire includes at least one variation with a name so fancy that other players consider it a grandmaster secret: the Scandinavian Defense Mieses Kotrc Variation. Yes, it sounds like a spell from a fantasy novel, but on the chessboard, it’s pure magic.
