Zsolt Szilagyi - aka "zsolti_83"

Meet Zsolt Szilagyi, a chess player who is probably better known online as zsolti_83. He's a fierce competitor in the fast-paced world of online chess, excelling especially in the lightning-quick bullet games where reflexes count as much as strategy.

Chess Journey & Strengths

Zsolt's journey from a modest rating low in 2013 (around 1400 in Blitz) to touching the high 2500s in bullet chess by 2016 is nothing short of impressive. His bullet play peaked at a 2599 rating, putting him right on the brink of the 2600 club—maybe next time, Zsolt!

His blitz achievements are no joke either, reaching a maximum rating of 2592. For rapid, well, let's just say Zsolt dabbled a bit with two games, rocking a 50% win rate, so rapid chess probably wasn't stealing his heart.

Playing Style & Personality

Zsolt apparently doesn't like to surrender easily—an early resignation rate of just 0.58%, which means he’s stubbornly battling it out until the bitter end or quite possibly plotting his next sneaky comeback.

Speaking of comebacks, his comeback rate is a stunning 90.39%, and his win rate after losing a piece is a flawless 100%, which reveals a player who's tough to put away once he's down. You lose a pawn? Nah! Zsolt turns that around like a chess ninja.

His average games are lengthier marathons than sprints—averaging 84 moves to win or lose—so don’t expect him to babystep away after a few blunders. When Zsolt plays, the board tells a long, dramatic story.

The Numbers Speak

• Blitz Wins vs Losses: 2,105 wins out of 3,875 games, with a win rate of about 54.3%
• Bullet Dominance: An incredible 9,347 wins in 16,227 bullet games, boasting nearly 58% win rate — that’s a bullet hurricane!
• Longest Winning Streak: A whopping 32 games in a row. That's either patience, brilliance, or pure luck (or all three).

Competitive Rivalries

Zsolt has some favorite opponents: he’s faced grandemas 615 times, aussie_pinoy 294 times, and gmjoey1 261 times, proving that some rivalries in chess go on and on. Fun fact: against some like mategg and bugcrusher, Zsolt boasts a perfect 100% win rate. Take notes, everyone.

When Does He Play?

Don’t try to catch him sleeping—Zsolt’s peak winning hours hover around 6 AM and 5 AM, winning over 63% of his games then, which might hint he’s either an early bird or a nocturnal chess wizard burning midnight oil.

About Zsolt

In summary, Zsolt Szilagyi is not just a player; he's a resilient, strategic, and remarkably consistent force in the Blitz and Bullet chess scenes who loves to turn the tide when the chips are down. While we don’t have much about his rapid exploits, his blitz and bullet performances ensure he’s someone to watch (and maybe challenge) if you run into him online.

His psychological tilt factor is pretty reasonable (29%), which roughly translates to: he’s human enough to get annoyed but cool enough to bounce back. Chess fans, keep an eye on zsolti_83 — he might just bullet-move his way to another epic streak!
