Milosz Rudnicki (Yolosz) - Candidate Master Extraordinaire
Meet Milosz Rudnicki, known in the chess circles as Yolosz, a proud bearer of the Candidate Master title bestowed by FIDE. A tactician with a flair for the dramatic, Milosz brings precision and panache to the 64 squares, blending deep strategic knowledge with moments of inspired brilliance.
With a peak blitz rating soaring to 2456 in 2023, Yolosz is no stranger to fiery time scrambles and nerve-wracking finishes. This player thrives in the fast-paced battleground of blitz and bullet, boasting over 1500 wins in bullet games and nearly 400 wins in blitz. If you like to see pieces fly and nerves tested, watching Yolosz in action is a treat.
Playing Style & Personality
Milosz has a notorious love for endgames, appearing in nearly 86% of games, proving both patience and endurance in equal measure. Unlike your average chess warrior, they’re known for speed too—clocking an average first capture move around move 7 and averaging nearly 74 moves in wins. Perhaps some enemies think they've seen the finish line, only to be checkmated well beyond it.
Don't be fooled by the calm exterior; behind the scenes lurks a tilt factor of 10, meaning Milosz can be delightfully human—frustrated by imperfect play but mastering the comeback with an amazing 85% comeback rate. Losing a piece? No worries—Yolosz’s win rate after such mishaps remains a solid 51%. That’s resilience with style.
Favorite Openings & Battle Tactics
Yolosz’s weapon of choice varies between time controls, with a fondness for the Indian Game, Accelerated Dragon in the Sicilian Defense, and the ever-popular London System. Their blitz repertoire is quite robust with a respectable 55%+ win rate in Indian Game lines and a fierce 64% success when wielding the Queen's Pawn Accelerated London System. In bullet, they’ve developed some deadly surprises like the Nimzowitsch Larsen Attack and modern approaches to the London System with win rates hovering near 60-65%.
Opponents beware: Milosz got a perfect record against some—like soul_mortall and thebigbadchessdad—and is downright merciless versus their favored openings.
Notable Recent Moments
In an electrifying recent blitz battle played in February 2025, Yolosz outmaneuvered soul_mortall in a Richter-Rauzer Variation of the Sicilian Defense, snatching victory on time after displaying some exquisite tactical vision. Using this line, Milosz showed they are not just fast but deadly accurate.
Not every day can be a victory lap though! More recently, they faced a tough loss against kingkatti, who managed to clinch a win on time in a classic Philidor Defense. But knowing Milosz’s spirit, this is just fuel for future comebacks.
When to Catch the Action
The best hours to challenge Yolosz? Avoid 8 AM sharp, as their win ratios there are practically perfect (100%). Late-night duels also favor Yolosz with their highest win rates around 2-4 AM—the perfect hours for grandmaster mayhem or, as some might call it, the "witching hour" of chess.
Fun Fact
Despite being a titled player, Milosz occasionally risks the early resignation (only in 27% of games), which might just be a subtle tactic to make opponents overconfident. It’s all part of the mysterious charm of Yolosz.
Whether you fancy strategic Reti dalliances or wild Sicilian storms, Milosz Rudnicki’s games promise a thrilling rollercoaster on the chessboard. Buckle up!

Hi Milosz!
You are playing dynamic, fighting chess and your current peak blitz rating is 2456 (2023-06-13). Below is an objective snapshot of your recent play followed by an action-oriented plan for the next few weeks.
What’s already working
- Sharp opening repertoire. As Black you handle the Sicilian Richter-Rauzer confidently, e.g. your win over Hasan Atis where …a6, …h6 and the timely …d5 equalised and created winning chances.
- Tactical alertness. You consistently spot piece sacrifices on c3/d4 and infiltration ideas such as 17…Ba3!! in the same game. Your conversion versus Ralph Federick Tan (c-pawn roller in the endgame) showcases accurate calculation under pressure.
- Fighting spirit. Many of your wins come from persistently posing problems until opponents flag or blunder. This is a competitive asset—keep it!
Recurring issues
- Time-trouble losses. Four of your last six defeats were on time (see the Philidor vs kingkatti and the drawn king-pawn ending vs Marcel Winkels). Good positions are being squandered late in the game.
- End-game technique. In the loss to Yunier Leyva Rivera you went from equal rook ending to resignation after allowing …h-pawns to run. Similar issues appeared in the Benoni vs Thomas Bauer.
- Over-extension when ahead. In several games you advanced pawns (e.g. f4-g4 in the English A11) without completing development, letting the opponent seize squares.
- Prophylaxis. Moves like 22…Qe2 (Philidor) or 21…Bxh3 (Benoni) became strong only because your king was unsecured. A single quiet “anti-opponent” move would have neutralised counter-play.
Critical positions to review
Try setting these up on a board and ask, “What is my opponent threatening?” before moving.
Training plan (4 weeks)
- Clock discipline drill. Play two 15|10 games daily. Force yourself to spend minimum 10 seconds on moves 1-10 and maximum 30 seconds on any single move until move 25. Goal: arrive at move 25 with ≥40 % of your time.
- End-game refresh.
- Day 1-3: Review Lucena & Philidor rook endings.
- Day 4-7: Work through 20 queen vs pawn-end puzzles.
- Week 2-3: Play only rook-and-pawn endings vs engine set to 2200.
- Prophylactic thinking. After every tactical exercise, add a step: “Could my opponent have prevented this?” Annotate three of your own games per week, marking every move where you ignored your opponent’s idea.
- Opening maintenance. Keep the Richter-Rauzer and QGD lines, but prepare a solid backup (e.g. Scheveningen move-order) for situations where you need stability instead of sharp play.
