A Grandmaster Built for Speed
Alexey Kislinsky, better known to the online chess world as Alexchess1984, is a FIDE Grandmaster whose true kingdom is the bullet board. With a bullet peak of 2710 (2022-05-03) and a blitz peak of 2839 (2026-05-24), he has spent years turning the internet's fastest time control into a laboratory for aggressive, attacking chess.
His preferred time control is bullet, and the numbers agree: tens of thousands of games, a longest winning streak of 30, and a style that punishes hesitation. He rarely resigns early and owns a comeback rate of 87.63 percent, meaning that even when things look grim, the game is far from over.
Repertoire of an e4 Devotee
Kislinsky is a creature of habit: he opens with 1.e4 in the overwhelming majority of his games. Against the Sicilian Defense, he leans on the Alapin Variation with impressive results, while his black repertoire features the Scandinavian Defense and a fondness for the sharp Benko Gambit. His willingness to play offbeat lines, from the Amazon Attack to the Center Game, keeps opponents guessing and often wins the psychological battle before the middlegame begins.
His endgame frequency is high, and his decisive games regularly stretch past move 70, meaning he is equally comfortable navigating technical endings as he is launching early attacks. His most common checking piece is the queen, a fitting detail for a player who loves open lines and direct threats.
Rivalries and the Long Grind
No player defines a career quite like a recurring rival. Kislinsky's most played opponent is u14141409, with 230 meetings and a commanding 154 wins for the Grandmaster. Another frequent foe, Leo Bispo, has pushed him harder, with the head to head nearly even after 97 battles.
He is at his most dangerous in the early hours, with his best results coming around 3 AM, and he thrives against lower rated opposition while still holding his own against titled peers. His white pieces are especially deadly, converting at 58.88 percent, while his black pieces still win 52.68 percent of the time.
Volume and Consistency
The sheer scale of Kislinsky's online output is staggering. Across bullet and blitz alone he has played tens of thousands of rated games, and his rating chart shows remarkable staying power at the top of the leaderboard.
- Longest winning streak: 30 games
- Longest losing streak: 13 games, proof that even Grandmasters have off nights
- Comeback rate after a tough position: 87.63 percent
- Win rate after losing a piece: 54.19 percent
- Average game length for a win: around 69 moves
He almost never loses by checkmate and prefers to make opponents squirm until the flag falls. For Alexey Kislinsky, the clock is not an enemy, it is a partner in crime.
