The Fast and the Numerous
yury2245 is a Blitz machine. Their primary time control is Blitz, and they treat the 5-minute pool like a personal obstacle course. They started August 2017 at 1383 Blitz and ended that month near 2334, a transformation that usually requires a training montage. Since then they have climbed to a Blitz peak of 2708 (2026-06-14) and a Rapid peak of 2680 (2026-08-16). They have also played enough games to keep archive servers busy.
A Repertoire Built on French Toast
Openings matter, and yury2245 has clear leanings. As White, 1.d4 is the first move in almost every recorded game, occasionally interrupted by a rebellious 1.d3. As Black, the French Defense is a trusted friend, with the Caro-Kann Defense and Slav Defense also making regular appearances. Then there is the Amazon Attack: Siberian Attack, a headline-worthy opening that shows up in hundreds of their Blitz games, often with good results. Their opening repertoire is the kind of thing that makes d-pawn enthusiasts smile.
Clutch Gene
The most dangerous version of yury2245 appears after something goes wrong. They win 79.2% of games after falling behind, and their win rate after losing a piece is still 55.49%. Their one-sided loss rate is only 3.18%, so even on bad days they make the opponent finish the meal. They also know how to run streaks: 24 wins in a row is the record, and the nine-loss streak is best described as character development.
The Recurring Cast
If yury2245 has an archrival, it is uasloboda. Nineteen meetings have produced a perfect mirror: 8 wins each and 3 draws. Against MiniMacaw they hold a perfect record, which is the kind of stat that keeps the ego warm.
