Aleksander Hnydiuk - International Master Extraordinaire
Meet Aleksander Hnydiuk, a force to be reckoned with on the 64 squares and a proud bearer of the International Master title from FIDE. Not just your everyday chess player, Aleksander dances with knights and bishops like a grandmaster DJ spins vinyl — mixing strategy, speed, and a pinch of unpredictability.
With a blitz peak rating soaring up to 2650 and a bullet zenith of 2713, Aleksander’s rapid-fire tactics leave opponents seeing stars — or maybe just the backs of his pieces as they fall. Their rapid rating peaked at a clean 2400, proving versatility across all time controls.
Armed with an impressive win record of more than 517 wins in blitz alone, Aleksander’s playstyle is a fascinating blend of endurance and tactical wizardry. Their comeback rate is a staggering 91% — when down a piece, few can turn the tide like Aleksander. But beware the tilt factor of 12; even champions have their off days.
Aleksander excels in the late hours — their best brainwaves strike around 2 AM. So if you see them online after midnight, prepare for a chess workout that might just make you rethink your life choices.
Not one to shy away from complex endings, Aleksander’s games often stretch to an average of around 78 moves for a win, showing patience and precision when it truly counts. Playing White? Expect a 47.95% chance Aleksander takes the point home. Playing Black? They’re no slouch at 43.13% wins.
Funny enough, despite their relentless attacking style, Aleksander also boasts an early resignation rate of just 3.17%. Apparently, they believe in fighting to the very last pawn—unless it’s really hopeless, then a dignified bow is acceptable.

Despite a few losses — because hey, even IMs can have a bad day — Aleksander’s overall persistent spirit and tactical comeback ability keep their fans eagerly waiting for the next grand showdown. When Aleksander plays, expect excitement, strategy, and perhaps a few "Did that just happen?!" moments on the board.
Whether you call them Aleksander, AleksanderHnydiuk, or simply The Blitz Magician, one thing’s clear: chess is never boring when they’re around.
