Andrii Palchuk – The FIDE Master Maestro
Meet Andrii Palchuk, a chess virtuoso who has not only earned the prestigious title of FIDE Master but also made a name for himself with a blitz rating that could make even the most seasoned grandmasters sweat.
Starting modestly in 2016 with a blitz rating hovering around 1300s, Andrii has blitzed his way up dramatically to a peak rating of over 2700 by 2023 – a number that many chess players can only dream of. His bullet chess prowess is equally impressive, reigning supreme with a peak near 2860, demonstrating lightning-fast moves and razor-sharp tactics.
But don’t let those numbers fool you into thinking Andrii is all serious business. With a comeback rate of over 90% and an incredible 100% win rate after losing a piece, he’s the ultimate chess fighter, never counting himself out—even when the odds seem bleak. This is a player who practically rewrites the rules on resilience!
His style? A blend of patience and precision, favoring a deep endgame strategy seen in almost 80% of his games. While many might surrender early, Andrii’s early resignation rate is under 2%, proving he’s not one to give up unless his opponent outright checkmates him... or perhaps if someone offers pizza during a blitz match.
Off the board, Andrii might have an interesting psychological quirk—a tilt factor of 10—but his record, boasting hundreds of wins in blitz and bullet, tells the story of a grandmaster of grit with a streak as long as 13 consecutive wins.
