Viktoria Chernyak - Woman Grandmaster Extraordinaire

Known in the digital kingdom as ChessHippopotamchik, Viktoria Chernyak is not your average chess player. She proudly carries the prestigious title of Woman Grandmaster awarded by FIDE – which basically means she’s mastered the art of checkmating like a boss.

Rating & Performance Highlights

  • Peak Blitz rating of 2350 (August 2021) – a rating that sends pawns running.
  • Peak Bullet rating soared up to 2463 in March 2022 – proving she’s as fast as she is strategic.
  • Crushes opponents with a Blitz win rate of about 79% over 47 games – talk about dominance!
  • Has an impressive Bullet win rate around 60%, showing a killer instinct even under rapid-fire pressure.

The Tactical Beast

Viktoria’s playstyle reveals a love for long, thoughtful endgames, averaging over 85 moves per win and rarely surrendering early. She’s a comeback queen, rising victorious 87.5% of the times when trailing, and never afraid to sacrifice a piece to turn the tables with a 76% success rate after losing material temporarily.

Psychological Mojo & Winning Rituals

The clock’s best friend at 2 PM, Viktoria enjoys smashing her opponents during afternoon battles. Her tilt factor is extremely low (2/10), meaning she keeps her cool better than a Siberian winter! Bonus fact: Saturday is her lucky day with a perfect win streak on that day. Talk about weekend warrior vibes.

Notable Opponents & Rivalries

With multiple clashes against opponents like schekachikhin_maksim (5 games, 40% win rate) and maksims (a well-fought 50%), Viktoria keeps her friends close and her chess rivals closer. Some opponents encounter a relentless storm of victories with a 100% win record for Viktoria – probably a bit wary to face her on the board.

Signature Moments

One of her most recent spectacular games on March 15th, 2022, featured the English Opening: Anglo-Indian King's Knight Variation, ending with a graceful resignation from her opponent after a fierce 62-move duel. If chess had an action movie, Viktoria’s moves would get the slow-motion treatment followed by a standing ovation.

A Chess Biography with a Smile

Viktoria Chernyak might be plotting your checkmate while sipping tea, but beware—her arsenal includes patience, precision, and a cheeky streak of tactical wizardry. Whether blitzing through the ranks or bulleting to victory, she’s a real-life queen on the chessboard who’d probably appreciate a good pun as much as a good piece sacrifice.

In short: Watch out, pawns! Viktoria Chernyak is here to remind everyone that chess is not just a game, it’s an art... and sometimes, a hilarious war of wits.
