Mikhail Gusev - FIDE Master (Bimaniv)
Mikhail Gusev, also known by the username Bimaniv, is a proud holder of the FIDE Master title, wielding a chess intellect sharp enough to make even Kasparov raise an eyebrow. His journey through the ranks is a true epic of determination, tactical acumen, and the occasional well-timed blunder that keeps us all humble.
Rating Chronicles
Mikhail’s chess ratings tell a fascinating story. His blitz games have seen a meteoric rise from a modest 1,706 in 2018 to a blistering peak of 2,545 by 2025. His bullet rating is no less impressive, climbing steadily to a high of 2,312 in 2025, reflecting his lightning-fast thinking and nerve.
Playing Style
Known for his patience in the endgame (engaging in one out of every 1.6 games!), Mikhail averages around 60 moves per game—so, yes, patience is a virtue, but so is endurance. His early resignation rate is a humble 15.46%, meaning he knows when to hold ‘em and when to fold ‘em. Interestingly, Mikhail's White pieces score a stellar 63.09% win rate, while Black still commands a respectable 56.21%.
Tactical Wizardry
When life takes a pawn, Mikhail takes it in stride with a phenomenal win rate of 94.45% after losing a piece. His comeback rate of 69.25% would make Rocky Balboa proud. However, don't let the beautiful tactic fool you — about 17% of his losses are one-sided. We all have our off days, even grandmasters-in-the-making.
Chess Personality & Humor
Mikhail is a man of streaks — his longest winning run peaked at 19 games straight. Though his current winning streak is zero, we like to think that's just Mikhail catching his breath before the next rampage. His psychological tilt factor sits at a mild 14, proving that even the best of us occasionally lose a pawn to frustration (or an internet hiccup).
Record vs Opponents
A fierce competitor, Mikhail enjoys rich rivalries, especially with liga_stavok and vllebedev9, facing them over 100 times each, showing no signs of backing down. And when facing some opponents, his win rate proudly stands at 100%; no mercy, no pauses for coffee breaks.
When to Catch Him Playing?
The man thrives during the early hours with peak victory rates at 2 AM (100% win rate — does he sleep?), and Monday mornings (around 60%), making him the perfect night owl or morning champ. Saturday wins are even more sweet with a solid 67.14% win rate.
In summary, Mikhail Gusev is the epitome of strategic tenacity, slow-burning success, and tactical flair — a chess force to be reckoned with. Whether it’s blitz lightning or the marathon daily games, Bimaniv’s passion for the 64 squares shines through. Expect brilliant comebacks, sage patience, and a sprinkle of humor in every game.
