Aleksey Ivlev: The FIDE Master with a Lightning Bolt for a Brain
Aleksey Ivlev, known online as ALeks_Ivlev, is a formidable FIDE Master whose chess prowess has dazzled opponents across numerous time controls. With a knack for blitz and bullet, Aleksey has shown a penchant for lightning-fast decisions, earning impressive peaks of near 2700 in blitz and over 2600 in bullet ratings—because who needs sleep when you’re chasing pawns at the speed of light?
Starting from a modest blitz rating of 1374 in 2016, Aleksey rocketed to a staggering 2698 by 2025. Similarly, their bullet rating soared from 1310 to an enviable 2638 in just a few years. These numbers prove Aleksey’s dedication isn’t just about moving pieces, but moving them with style, speed, and precision.
A chess player who loves an endgame as much as a quick knockout, Aleksey’s games on average stretch into the 70s in moves for wins—a sure sign they savor the art of grinding down opponents. Their comeback rate of 81% and win rate after losing a piece (a cheeky 87%) suggest they’re not just a tactician, but a psychological warrior who thrives when the chips are down.
Known to maintain a respectable tilt factor of 10 (which means the occasional grumble after a missed fork), Aleksey still manages to keep a blistering streak alive with a longest winning streak of 35 games—no small feat in the chaotic realm of online chess.
Opponents beware: Aleksey’s current winning streak sits strong at 8 games, and historically they’ve a quirky habit of demolishing new challengers with 100% win rates against several recent opponents. Their opening repertoire remains a closely guarded "Top Secret," dominating with a 50%+ win rate while leaving rivals guessing.
Away from the keyboard, Aleksey is probably plotting the next brilliant sacrifice—or maybe just wondering why their coffee didn’t come faster. But on the board, whether bullet, blitz, or rapid, Aleksey Ivlev is a chess force to reckon with, blending speed, strategy, and a little bit of chess madness.
