Bayastan Sydykov (aka chessbaerchen)

Title: FIDE Master

Bayastan Sydykov, better known in the chess realm as chessbaerchen, is a force to be reckoned with on the 64 squares. With a FIDE Master title to their name, Bayastan has steadily climbed the ranks, showing a blend of tactical wizardry and relentless determination—and maybe a pinch of chess sorcery!

Rising Through the Blizztastic Ranks

From June 2024 to May 2025, chessbaerchen’s blitz rating skyrocketed from a respectable 2189 to an astonishing peak of 2781. That's right, almost breaking the 2800 barrier while juggling 180+ second games like a caffeine-fueled chess ninja. Their bullet rating peaked at a solid 2601, proving speed is just another chessbaerchen specialty.

Playing Style & Personality

Known for zero early resignations (giving opponents no free wins here), Bayastan embraces long, grueling endgames—92.58% endgame frequency! Average wins take about 87 moves, so patience and precision are their middle names. And the comeback king crown? With an 89.24% comeback rate, it’s safe to say they never say die... unless it’s time to grab a snack between moves.

Prefers to play around 4 PM, where their win rate peaks. Maybe that’s prime time for genius or just a well-timed caffeine boost.

Opening Secrets & Battle Records

The mysterious Top Secret opening (403 games) has brought a solid 55.58% win rate. Bayastan’s arsenal includes the French Defense Classical Steinitz Boleslavsky Variation and the trusty Ruy Lopez Morphy Defense Columbus Variation, each perfected with a flawless 100% win record in official games—because why not?

Facing opponents named “secretsuperstar7”? 100% win rate there too, so keep those stars twinkling but beware the chessbaerchen glare!

Notable Memorable Moments

Bayastan’s latest victories often end with opponents surrendering in resignation—because who wants to be checkmated when defeat can be dignified? A recent win against Natalya_Buksa saw a graceful dance around the board, culminating in a calculated resignation at move 34. Talk about checkmate and chill.

A Bit of Humor

When asked why they don’t resign early, Bayastan quips, “Why give away free popcorn before the movie is over?” Indeed, chessbaerchen prefers the full drama, suspense, and eventual plot twist that only a well-fought game can deliver.

In a world where pieces fall and time ticks down, Bayastan Sydykov reminds us all that chess is not just a game—it’s an epic saga with every move, and chessbaerchen is its bold storyteller.
