Konstantin Kornienko, aka ArkadiyKhromaev

Bullet Dominance

Konstantin Kornienko is a FIDE Candidate Master who plays online under the username ArkadiyKhromaev, and he has built his reputation in the fastest lane of chess: bullet. His peak bullet rating of 3450 (2025-04-04) is the headline number, but the volume behind it is just as impressive. Over thousands of games he has stacked up 3407 bullet wins, a 30 game winning streak, and a style that punishes hesitation. He also crossed 3100 in blitz and 2400 in rapid, proving that his speed is backed by real understanding.

Opening Repertoire

Konstantin is a devoted 1.d4 player. He rarely touches 1.e4 and instead steers the game into sharp, unusual territory. His favorite battlegrounds include the Australian Defense, the Benoni Gambit Accepted, and the wonderfully named Amazon Attack: Siberian Attack. With Black he is comfortable in the Modern Defense and the Colle Rhamphorhynchus Variation. His preparation has also deepened over time, from a median depth of 3 moves in 2024 to 4 moves in 2025.

Rivalries and Resilience

Nobody has faced Konstantin more often than Andy Woodward, who has met him 1259 times in a running feud that spans wins, losses, and plenty of time scrambles. Anthony Atanasov is another familiar rival with 433 games against him. Konstantin is at his most dangerous when the position looks lost: he wins 61.3 percent of games after losing a piece and completes comebacks at an 83.38 percent rate. His longest losing streak of 11 games shows he can bleed, but his 30 game winning streak shows how quickly the bleeding stops.

Quirks and Numbers

  • Monday is his power day with a 71.77 percent win rate, and his best hour is 1 AM at 76.92 percent.
  • He wins by timeout more than any other result, with 2137 timeout victories, a classic bullet signature.
  • His decisive games run long for the format, averaging around 85 moves per win and per loss.
  • He crushes lower rated players at 69.3 percent, but oddly struggles against equal rated opposition, winning just 36.84 percent of those meetings.
