Artem Dyachuk - FIDE Master Extraordinaire
Artem Dyachuk, known on the 64 squares as ArtemDyachuk, is a fierce competitor who proudly holds the title of FIDE Master. With a rating peak soaring to an explosive 2901 in Blitz (achieved in May 2025), Artem consistently demonstrates a knack for fast, tactical play that leaves opponents both awestruck and slightly dizzy.
Though their Bullet and Rapid ratings also boast impressive peaks—2814 in Bullet and 1587 in Rapid—it's in the blitz arena that Artem truly shines, weaving through opening theory, middle-game tactics, and crushing endgames with a poetic flourish. Their favorite opening? The Kings Indian Defense, especially the Samisch Orthodox Variation, giving foes nightmares and fans plenty of exciting games to analyze.
Playing Style
Artem’s games often combine deep endgame knowledge (they engage in endgames in over 60% of their wins!) with a cheeky willingness to resign early about 19% of the time—maybe a sly way to conserve energy for the next round? Their average winning game runs around 59 moves, proving they enjoy a good, long battle rather than a brief skirmish.
Psychologically, Artem is a rollercoaster—while boasting a comeback success rate near 74% when down a piece, the tilt factor clocks in at 46, signaling that even titans sometimes feel the heat. But no worries, with a best time to play around 10:00 AM, they likely start unleashing chess magic well before most have had their morning coffee.
Record & Rivalries
With thousands of games logged, Artem boasts a Blitz win tally of 3,851 victories, and they never shy away from a bullet brawl either, with over 1,000 wins in that adrenaline-pumping format. Their longest winning streak? A formidable 22 games straight — kind of like the chess version of being "on fire".
Some rivals have tasted sweet victory against Artem, like "miracmelihtopuz7," but many have felt the sting of defeat or resignation, as Artem’s skill and preparation often force opponents to fold. Against frequent opponents like “grigoriysv,” Artem’s win rate is a bit more challenging, but the competitive spirit shines through every encounter.
Recent Triumphs
In the latest blaze of brilliance from May 2025, Artem showcased precision and nerves of steel by winning multiple games with the Black pieces in highly tactical battles, notably with sharp theoretical lines like the King's Indian Defense Samisch Orthodox and the Queen’s Pawn Opening Chigorin Variation.
Fun Fact
Despite the serious aura of a titled player, Artem’s blitz rating swings can be wild—from starting around 1003 back in 2018 to smashing through the 2800 mark in 2025. It’s like watching a chess superhero’s origin story unfold in real-time!
One thing is certain: whenever ArtemDyachuk logs in, opponents better be ready for a rollercoaster ride across the 64 squares, a blend of tactical wizardry, strategic mastery, and the occasional psychological twist.
