Ihor Nester (chessmasterlviv) - International Master

Meet Ihor Nester, a chess player whose moves are as precise as a Swiss watch and whose winning streaks could inspire a thriller novel. Holding the esteemed title of International Master from FIDE, Ihor has dominated both rapid and blitz formats with remarkable consistency.

Known affectionately in the chess community as chessmasterlviv, Ihor has a near-flawless rapid record boasting 3 wins and zero losses or draws, proving that when the clock ticks faster, Ihor's brain works even faster. In blitz, Ihor’s record shines bright with 27 wins out of 38 games, including a peak rating just shy of 2450—enough to strike fear into the hearts of opponents and keyboards alike!

With an intimidating 6-game winning streak on both rapid and blitz formats, Ihor shows no signs of slowing down. Opponents like hhb85, vendetta464, and herracek have all felt the sting of his flawless play, as he holds a 100% win rate against many of his frequent rivals. Fun fact: the only player who managed to pinch a game is fili86, but even then, Ihor’s comeback rate remains an impressive 80%, showcasing that giving up is not in his playbook.

Time of day? Ihor is a relentless night owl with 100% win rates during prime evening hours (and don’t even mention tilt—his tilt factor is a minimal 3, proving he’s cooler than a polar bear in a snowstorm). Early resignation? Nope, Ihor battles to the end with an endgame frequency north of 78%, often dragging his opponents into deep, complex endings before delivering the final checkmate.

Tactical wizardry meets psychological resilience: despite losing pieces occasionally, Ihor’s win rate after losing material is a staggering 100%. It's almost like Ihor enjoys turning a disadvantage into a teachable moment for the opponent (or maybe just plain outplaying them).

Whether donning the white pieces with an 85% win rate or mastering the black side’s intricacies with nearly 62%, Ihor Nester is a chess player who blends strategy, grit, and a pinch of magic. Watch out – when Ihor is around, every move could be a masterpiece.
