Dmitry Andrejkin: National Master and Chess Warrior

Dmitry Andrejkin, known in the battlefields of the 64 squares simply as "Andrejkin," proudly holds the esteemed National Master title—a badge earned through grit, grind, and an impressive knack for blitzing opponents into submission.

Chess Journey & Style

From modest beginnings with blitz ratings around 1300 in early 2015, Dmitry has carved a remarkable climb to peaks of 2345 in Blitz (August 2015) and an astonishing 2346 in Bullet (February 2017). These numbers speak volumes about his fury and precision under time pressure.

Andrejkin is a modern tactician with a love for endgames (played in nearly 80% of games) and an uncanny ability to come back from setbacks—boasting a nearly 88% comeback rate after facing adversity. Despite occasionally being hard on himself (a tilt factor of 10), he is known to be calm and collected when it counts.

Performance at a Glance

• Total Blitz wins: 462 with a razor-thin edge over losses (450).
• Bullet mastery with 144 wins against 95 losses.
• An impressive longest winning streak of 14 games, matched by a steely longest losing streak of 10 games — proving his resilience and competitive spirit.

Opening & Tactics

Andrejkin keeps his cards close to the chest—his preferred openings and strategies remain curiously "Top Secret," but his win rates say it all: a solid 46.2% win rate in blitz and a blistering 59% success in bullet. This tactician clearly knows how to flip the board in his favor.

Memorable Moments

Among his notable victories includes a dazzling blitz checkmate in the Titled Tuesday 2017 tournament, where he skillfully dismantled SantoBlue with the Queens Indian Defense - Kasparov-Petrosian Variation. Timing and precision? Certainly his forte.

Playing Habits & Trivia

Though Dmitry often flexes his chess muscles in the evening hours, his statistically best time to crush opponents is an early bird's delight: 2 a.m. (UTC) — the supposedly witching hour for grandmaster moves. Beware if you challenge Andrejkin at that hour; caffeine and genius combine!

He enjoys playing white slightly more effectively, boasting a 50.16% win rate, but his black pieces don’t feel neglected with a respectable 47.24% win record.

Dmitry hardly surrenders early; with an early resignation rate of just 3.49%, he battles till the very last rook falls or the clock runs out.

Personality Snapshot

In a nutshell, Dmitry Andrejkin is the kind of player who blends tactical brilliance with psychological endurance. Whether zigzagging through murky middlegames or orchestrating beautiful endgame symphonies, he’s a true gladiator on the board — sometimes mystifying, often formidable, and forever striving to outwit the next challenger.
