Mikhail Chernov - FIDE Master Extraordinaire
Mikhail Chernov, known in the chess world by the username Chernov_Mikhail, is a formidable FIDE Master whose passion for the 64 squares is only rivaled by his impressive track record. With a blitz rating soaring above 2500 and a bullet rating crossing the 2600 threshold in 2025, Mikhail’s lightning-fast thinking has made many an opponent rethink their life choices – and chess moves.
Born to make pawns tremble and knights dance to his strategic tunes, Mikhail has averaged over 2400 in blitz across recent years, displaying a mastery of rapid and tactical play. Despite the occasional tilt factor (because who doesn’t get a bit flustered when losing a bishop in style?), his comeback rate is an astonishing 87.8%, proving that giving up is not in his vocabulary.
Mikhail’s style is a marathon, not a sprint – his average win comes after more than 70 moves, and he is as comfortable navigating complicated endgames as climbing a steep mountain. His ability to win games even after losing a piece is nothing short of legendary, boasting a perfect 100% win rate post-mistake. Talk about turning lemons into checkmates!
Against some of the toughest opponents, including many top secret opening aficionados, Mikhail has maintained a win rate above 50%, showing not just grit but a keen understanding of chess psychology. His peak performances aren’t limited to the board hours of the day, though mornings at 6 and evenings at 23 see his win rates skyrocket – perhaps powered by strong coffee or inspirational sitcom marathons.
Off the board, Mikhail remains a mysterious chess ninja, with a longest winning streak of 19 games but currently none (hey, even legends need a break). His games showcase creativity, resilience, and a pinch of mischief, making every encounter a chess lover’s delight.
Whether blitzing through openings or grinding out wins in complex endgames, Mikhail Chernov combines dedication with a touch of fun. Opponents beware – underestimating him might just result in a spectacular checkmate, and maybe a good chuckle after the game.
