Aleksandras Jegorovas, FIDE Master
Meet Aleksandras Jegorovas, a FIDE Master whose blitz skills might just give lightning a run for its money. With a peak blitz rating soaring past 2600 in 2024, Aleksandras is no stranger to fast-paced battles on 64 squares. Known in some circles as Bugcrusher, this player’s style is a fascinating cocktail: a relentless endgame virtuoso (engaging in endgames nearly 80% of their games) and a tactical magician who bounces back from adversity with a jaw-dropping 90% comeback rate.
Aleksandras has played over a thousand blitz games in 2024 alone, boasting nearly 2000 wins across formats and an impressive winning streak that once stretched to 15 games in a row — talk about momentum! Whether playing with the white pieces (winning 52.5% of the time) or defending with black, they adapt with equal grit and determination.
Known for a patience that defies the speed of bullet chess, Aleksandras still unleashes rapid-fire tactics, achieving an astonishing 85.7% win rate in rapid games in 2023. But don’t mistake this calm demeanor for passivity; with an early resignation rate under 1%, they fight on stubbornly, ensuring every move counts.
Off the board, Aleksandras’s custom opening “Top Secret” keeps opponents guessing — with a win rate just shy of 50% in blitz and an even more impressive nearly 60% in bullet chess. For daily games, well, they top-secrete their way to consistent victories too.
Despite a fierce competitive spirit (with a tilt factor of 10, they keep cool even when the going gets tough), Aleksandras has a quirky contrast: a win rate that dips a bit in rated versus casual games — possibly Mysterious Chess Gods at work.
Most recent opponents include a colorful set of challengers like perseus70, corporate_mundo, and sweetchinmusic04 — some conquered, some not, but all tested by Aleksandras’s cunning play.
In short, Aleksandras Jegorovas is a chess player who embodies strategic depth, rapid reflexes, and a dash of mystery — a true force in the online chess wilderness, crushing bugs and opponents alike. Most definitely one to watch next time your clock’s ticking and the position is heating up!
