Based virtually in Germany and carrying the persona of a 66-year-old Chess Legend, this bot plays at an estimated 3096 Elo on Chessiverse, placing it at a super-grandmaster, engine-tier level that overwhelms nearly all human opposition. As White, Yusupov frequently reaches for the [Indian Game mainlines](/resources/openings/indian-game-mainlines), steering games into flexible, well-understood structures rather than sharp theoretical duels. Expect a opponent who plays with remarkable precision, converts small advantages patiently, and rarely offers tactical chances, making every game a serious test of technique and endurance.","66","legend_artur_yusupov","Germany","de","30bb201ade249774cf378129ccf9ae71b7ee7ddcf8ec99e2df0e18eed36b7737","2026-10-05",3096,"json",[15,18,21],{"question":16,"answer":17},"What rating is Yusupov?","Yusupov plays at an estimated 3096 Elo on Chessiverse, which is super-grandmaster, engine-tier strength.
