Zhamsaran Tsydypov - Chess Grandmaster Extraordinaire

Meet Zhamsaran Tsydypov, a chess Grandmaster with a blitz rating that could scare even the best from their openings! Known in the online battlefield as Zhuu96, this formidable tactician has danced through tens of thousands of games, always keeping their opponents on the edge of their seats — or their bishops.

Since bursting onto the scene in 2014 with a blitz rating of 1386 (rookie days!), Zhuu96 rapidly catapulted to a peak blitz rating of a jaw-dropping 3213 in May 2025. Their bullet chess prowess is no less intimidating, hitting a peak rating above 3100, and in rapid games, they’ve clocked over 3000 at their best. Simply put, Zhuu96 handles the clock like it’s a mere suggestion — a Grandmaster who thrives at high speed.

With an astonishing winning streak record of 32 games, you better believe that when Zhuu96 starts cooking, it’s checkmate or bust. They have a somewhat famous loving relationship with openings like the Sicilian Defense - Open Najdorf Variation, boasting an 87.5% win rate, and showing some serious affection for the Caro-Kann Advance and Alapin Sicilian as well. Opponents beware: their "Top Secret" opening choice has already amassed over 4,000 blitz battles with nearly 54% wins.

But chess isn't just about the moves—it’s also about the psyche. Zhuu96’s psychological trends reveal a tilt factor of 13: not the calmest cucumber in stressful moments, but hey, who stays zen while tearing through the ranks at 3000+? Their best time of day to play is at 23:00, proving that midnight oil and opening traps often go hand in hand.

With over 3,000 wins in blitz, over 500 in bullet, and a respectable tally in rapid games as well, Zhuu96 is a fierce competitor who can be relied on to turn even the most mundane positions into tactical fireworks.

When Zhuu96 isn’t busy shredding their opponents like a Grandmaster maestro, they enjoy resigning early when things don't go as planned, keeping their energy reserved for the next dazzling victory. And yes, the endgame is their playground — nearly 73% of their games see them fighting deep into the late stages.

To give you a tiny glimpse of their style, their latest celebrated win in May 2025 saw them masterfully handling the Sicilian Najdorf, playing with surgical precision that forced an opponent to bow out by resignation — the hallmark of a true chess artist.

Whether you face them as jinbojinbo, rollercoaster29, or pouya21, be prepared — Zhamsaran Tsydypov is not a mere player, but a blitzing force of nature on 64 squares.
