Chess Player Profile: Bormikh

Meet Bormikh, a resilient strategist whose rapid chess journey has been nothing short of a rollercoaster—minus the screams, but with plenty of checkmates. Starting in 2022 at a respectable rapid rating of 1887, Bormikh has battled through thousands of games, oscillating between highs near 1986 and some humbling dips, proving that every pawn can rise.

With over 4,700 rapid games played and a near-even win-loss record of 2,399 wins to 2,350 losses, this player embodies perseverance and an undying love for the 64 squares. Bormikh’s longest winning streak peaked at 9 games, and currently rides a confident 3-win streak—chess gods willing.

Known for a spicy opening repertoire dubbed "Top Secret" (because who tells all their moves?), Bormikh boasts a solid 47% win rate right out of the gates. Their tactical prowess shines in an astonishing 100% win rate after losing a piece—a comeback artist worthy of a standing ovation. Opponents beware: surrender early and you might witness a swift resignation (approximately 0.77% of the time), but stick around and expect endgames that last on average 68 moves for wins and a grueling 75 when things don’t go as planned.

By day and hour, Bormikh hits peak performance around early mornings and late mornings (think 7 to 9 AM) with win rates soaring past 50%. Sundays might be restful, but apparently, chess is a bit tougher then with a win rate dipping to 42.7%. Psychologically, Bormikh handles tilt reasonably well (tilt factor of 10) and though there's a slight edge in casual games, rated battles are where the true tactical fireworks happen.

If chess were a story, Bormikh is the hero who sometimes stumbles, but always plots a killer comeback. Among the foes faced frequently, rivals like "cesapego" and "brandballe" have tested Bormikh’s mettle repeatedly, with a respectable edge of 44% and 57% win rates respectively. Meanwhile, some friends have never tasted defeat—a fact no doubt signaling friendly rematches ahead.

So whether it’s morning blitzes, long tactical endgames, or those nail-biting comebacks after losing a piece, Bormikh remains a fearless competitor and a chess enthusiast who keeps the game alive—and the opponents guessing.
