Богдан Пінегін – The Chess Battler

Username: bogdanpinegin

Meet Богдан Пінегін, a chess player whose blitz and rapid games tell a story of both fierce battles and persistence. With a peak rapid rating of 1034 and a blitz zenith at 624 achieved in early 2025, Богдан's journey on the 64 squares is nothing short of a rollercoaster.

Playing Style & Strengths

Known for a tactical awareness that often sparks comebacks (a striking near 60% comeback rate!), Богдан is a player who refuses to quit early — though there is a modest early resignation rate of ~23%, perhaps a nod to a pragmatic approach where losses are nipped quickly rather than dragged out.

His average winning games stretch over 42 moves, indicating a strategic grind when victory is within reach. White games bring a 32% win rate, while playing Black boosts his fortune a bit to nearly 38%. He’s fond of the Englund Gambit and has a perfect winning record in blitz games using it (3 out of 3 games!). The Reti Opening also suits him well, as evidenced by his recent masterful checkmate victories.

Recent Highlights

In an epic show of cunning and patience, Богдан recently delivered a beautiful checkmate with the Reti Opening. After outmaneuvering dendilles199430 in the closing moves, he finished with a neat Rook checkmate — a satisfying end to a heated blitz duel.

Despite some tough losses (we all have those days!), including a hard-fought resignation to kenzao4u, Богдан keeps a calm head — his tilt factor is a low 11%, proving he's a cool customer when the pressure is on.
