Ruslan Pogoryelov – Grandmaster of the Chessboard
Known in the ranks of chess enthusiasts by the moniker Checom, Ruslan Pogoryelov is a Grandmaster whose gameplay radiates the brilliance of a true chess hermit crab—quietly strategic but fully armored for battle. Ruslan's journey through the ranks has been as methodical as the cell division in biology, carefully adapting and evolving to conquer the 64 squares.
Starting with a modest blitz rating of 1014 in 2013, Ruslan quickly amplified their tactical genome to reach a peak blitz rating over 2200 by 2014—a growth spurt worthy of any rapid mitosis. Their playing style is as intricate as DNA folding: favoring deep endgames (engaged 72.73% of the time), averaging a thoughtful 62 moves in victories and a marathon 72 moves in losses. Clearly, Ruslan doesn't shy away from an epic cellular showdown on the board.
With a win rate of 50% playing White and a more cautious 20% with Black, Ruslan demonstrates a nuanced adaptability reminiscent of an organism responding uniquely to environmental stimuli. Their psychological resilience is commendable—boasting a 75% comeback rate and a perfect 100% win rate after losing a piece, proving that even when the chromosomes misalign, Ruslan’s tactical DNA can repair and rally.
Amongst their favored opponents, Ruslan maintains a 100% win record against shahnazmohammadfaruq and adamschess2301, though struggles a bit more with firstdiva—a fascinating predator-prey dynamic in this chess ecology. They thrive especially well under the night’s influence, with a perfect win record during the 11 PM hour, when they must be in peak mitochondrial energy mode.
While early resignations happen only 16.67% of the time—a mere blip on the radar—Ruslan’s strategic patience and cellular endurance keep them playing the long game. When tilted, their factor is a stabilized 4, showing a balanced internal environment not easily thrown off by a disturbance in the ecosystem of the chessboard.
In the grand biosphere of chess players, Ruslan Pogoryelov is a fascinating specimen: a Grandmaster who blends resilience, tactical awareness, and a measured strategic approach—truly an evolutionary success in the deep forests of blitz competition.
