Василь Буришин - FIDE Master and Chess Enthusiast
Also known in chess circles as Buryshin_Vasyl, Василь Буришин is no ordinary player. Earning the prestigious title of FIDE Master, he combines tenacity with a flair for the dramatic—proving that chess is not only a game of intellect but also a showcase for persistence and, occasionally, comedy.
Rating Journey
Василь’s journey through the ranks is a tale of resilience and peaks that hint at grandmaster ambitions. His Blitz rating is particularly impressive, peaking at a jaw-dropping 2458 in 2024, accompanied by a sturdy bullet rating topping out over 2300. Although rapid has been a rollercoaster ride with highs around 2300 and lows that suggest he’s not just here to play it safe, his unwavering spirit never fades.
Playing Style & Strengths
He is a player who loves the endgame—jumping into them 75% of the time, showing stamina and technical finesse with an average game length above 70 moves.
Known for a remarkable 85% comeback rate, Василь doesn’t give up easily. Losing a piece? Barely a hiccup, as his win rate after such setbacks nearly hits 99%—like a phoenix rising from the dustboard.
With a relatively low early resignation rate (2.15%), he fights stubbornly even against challenging odds, making him a formidable opponent who enjoys testing his tactical awareness in every twist and turn.
Record and Rivalries
His blitz rivalry stats show a nearly even split—winning 3368 and losing 3352 games—proving Василь has both the nerve and consistency to dance on the razor’s edge of victory and defeat. Some opponents, however, find no mercy: a 100% win rate against several adversaries hints Василь likes to keep his victories tidy.
Chess with a Side of Humor
If Василь were a chess piece, he’d probably be a knight: unpredictable, tricky, and sometimes hopping where you least expect. His fluctuating rapid rating compared to steady bullet and blitz prowess suggests he’s always ready to gamble—sometimes with a splash of drama.
In the end, whether facing a 13-win streak or a tough losing spell, Василь Буришин exemplifies the true spirit of the game: strategic brilliance mixed with the willingness to learn, laugh, and play another round.
