Chronicles of a Blitz Battlefield Commander
Sergey’s blitz journey is nothing short of epic. Starting at a modest 1049 rating in 2017, he skyrocketed to a max rating of 2654 by 2020. With over 15,000 blitz games logged, he’s battled through 6,626 wins and a staggering 8,409 losses, not to mention a few draws thrown in for suspense. His longest winning streak? An intimidating 32 victories in a row, proving that when Sergey’s on a roll, the only move left for his opponents is “resign.”
Bullet Magic and Rapid Riddles
If blitz is Sergey’s wild west duel, bullet chess is his lightning-fast spell cast. His bullet rating peaked at an impressive 2051, and his win rate skyrockets to over 91% in thousands of games. Rapid chess seems like a gentle stroll in the park, but Sergey has a respectable 83% win rate even there.

Sergey guards his opening strategies like the crown jewels, mysteriously listed under "Top Secret." But fear not, his tactical awareness shines through his remarkable 100% win rate after losing pieces and an 89.69% comeback rate - the stuff of legend in comeback tales.
Playing Style: The Patient Predator
Don't let the aggressive ratings fool you - Sergey plays the long game with an average of 77 moves per win. He’s a patient predator who thrives in the endgame, with an endgame frequency above 83%. Early resignation? Almost unheard of, with a negligible 0.52% rate. They say patience is a virtue, and Sergey wears it like a knight’s armor.
Psychological Fortitude
With a tilt factor of 15, Sergey keeps his cool enough to not throw his queen across the room after a bad move, although he’s not immune to the occasional frustration. Rated vs casual? His win difference suggests he’s absolutely serious when it counts.
Face-Offs and Foes
Sergey has come across a vast army of opponents, including his most-played rival vicoy25 (131 games) and tactical sparring partners like caraguru and michaelbaron. His win rates vary — some he dominates, others make him grind for every league point. But when an opponent challenges Sergey, they never quite know what secret weapon he’ll unleash.
