The Style
Known for his tactical awareness, Artem turns setbacks into comebacks with an impressive 72.67% comeback rate. While he does have a modest tilt factor of 7 (because who doesn’t?), his knack for endgame play shines through nearly half of his games. He averages around 42 moves per win, proving that slow and steady — or in his case, a calculated mix of explosive and steady — wins the race.
Wins, Losses, and Quirks
Artem’s war record is an engaging blend: a near-even split in bullet games (42 wins to 45 losses), a tougher fight in blitz with 72 wins but 93 losses, but domination in rapid with 46 wins against 33 losses. With only a few draws scattered here and there, he plays with a decisive flair.
His longest winning streak peaked at 6 games, while some rough patches stretched to 7 losses in a row—proof that every champion has their learning moments. A fun tidbit is Artem’s best time of day to play seems to be around 10 PM, which any night owl chess fan can appreciate.
Memorable Game Moments
