Игорь Перелыгин - FIDE Master
Known by his chess handle Bubachess1608, Игорь Перелыгин is a FIDE Master whose game is as colorful as a well-staged Sicilian Defense. From humble beginnings with a rapid rating stagnating at 1000 in early 2020, Игорь catapulted himself to rapid Elo highs above 2200 and blitz peaks near a chilling 2350, proving he’s no casual weekend warrior but a true gladiator of the 64 squares.
Playing Journey & Style
Игорь’s chess story is one of perseverance. Starting with rapid rating plateaus and some rough patches (we're looking at a few brutal 9-loss streaks that would make anyone tilt), he bounced back impressively. His blitz prowess is particularly notable, with over 520 wins logged and a respectable 54% win rate — a tempo where quick wit and nerves of steel count. Игорь’s tactical awareness shines through a remarkable 84% comeback rate after setbacks, meaning even when the chips are down, he’s hunting for that sweet reversal.
Not Just Rapid Rises...
Perhaps a connoisseur of the psychological game, Игорь thrives in the evening hours and Monday mornings, boasting near 60% win rates, while his daytime escapades sometimes flirt with more modest success. His games are often long affairs, averaging around 79 moves to victory and close to 87 in defeat — classics that might test the endurance of both players and spectators!
Signature Openings & Rivals
His opening repertoire remains "Top Secret" (how delightfully mysterious!), but against the field, he holds a memorable record against opponents like pavlo_nazarenko (who seems to enjoy evading Игорь’s grasp only 70% of the time). Игорь’s approach favors deep endgames where his knack for endurance and subtle maneuvering seems to take center stage.
Memorable Battles
One of his freshest triumphs in May 2022 saw him defeating a strong opponent by resignation after a strategic onslaught in the Alapin Sicilian. And, true to a fighter’s spirit, losses here and there serve as stepping stones rather than setbacks.
In Sum:
“A thinker, a fighter, and a master of comebacks — Игорь Перелыгин embodies both the art and science of chess, proving that even when the odds stack up, the right move can always turn the tides.”
