FIDE Master AndriiTop: The Chess Connoisseur

Meet AndriiTop, a player whose title of FIDE Master is just the tip of the iceberg. With a penchant for blitz and bullet chess, AndriiTop has been lighting up the chessboard since 2017 with an electrifying style that combines tactical flair and psychological resilience.

The Lightning Journey

Starting off at a modest blitz rating of 1407 in 2017, AndriiTop soon built up a storm, peaking at a blistering 2580 in 2021. His bullet rating similarly dazzled, topping out near 2500 in the same year. The rapid format might be slower, but don’t let that fool you—he’s got a sharp edge there too, with a peak near 1900.

Playing Style: The Art of Patience Meets Tactical Brilliance

Despite the rapid pace of bullet and blitz, AndriiTop isn’t just a speed demon. His average moves per win hover around 75, suggesting a deep, strategic playstyle that rarely skips the finer points. With an endgame frequency above 80%, he’s clearly a fan of the final act, turning even slim advantages into wins. His comeback rate, an impressive 85%, signals not just skill but resilience—when AndriiTop loses a piece, he fights back fiercely, winning over 90% of such battles.

The Psychological Edge

Known for maintaining composure with a tilt factor of just 7, AndriiTop keeps his cool even when the going gets tough. While he enjoys a solid winning rate across days and hours, his best performance appears on Thursdays and at the magic hour of 22:00—possibly when caffeine and inspiration align.

A Streak of Glory and a Rolodex of Rivals

With a longest winning streak of 15 games and a current streak of 3, AndriiTop is clearly no stranger to dominating runs. His wins against opponents like bluercrab, venugopalnayak1, and bylbord are perfect records — 100% wins! Though not undefeated against everyone, AndriiTop balances fierce rivalry with sportsmanship.

Secret Weapon? The Openings

Perhaps the most mysterious aspect of AndriiTop’s game lies in the archives of Top Secret openings. With an almost 50% win rate in blitz and nearly 58% in bullet using these clandestine tactics, one wonders if the secrets extend beyond the board.

Fun Fact

If you ever catch AndriiTop resigning early, don’t be alarmed—it happens a mere 3% of the time. Perhaps he’s just saving time for the real fun: launching brilliant comebacks or ending with a flourish.

So whether you’re a casual player or a fellow master, beware the cunning and persistence of AndriiTop — a maestro of the squares who blends humor, skill, and a dash of enigma to keep every game exciting.
