The Rapid rating has soared to a respectable 451 as of May 2025, and the Daily rating hit a peak of 946 in April 2025 — quite impressive for those relaxed, long-format fights.

Opponents beware: Yugunus’s games often blaze with tactical flurries and a comeback spirit that shines through a 71.5% comeback rate!
Known for an average of 46 moves per win (because quick victories are for the faint-hearted) and a slightly higher move count in losses, Yugunus isn’t afraid to fight till the last piece drops. Early resignation is rare (only about 13% of games), proving a tenacity that’s as stubborn as your least favorite chess puzzle.
