Profile of chessnsk: The International Master Maverick

Meet chessnsk, a fiercely talented International Master certified by FIDE, whose chess adventures span from the rapid thrills to the lightning-fast bullet battles. With a rating that has flirted with the 2500s in the blitz and bullet formats, chessnsk is no stranger to both calculated strategy and quickfire tactical skirmishes.

Ratings & Career Highlights

  • Peak Rapid Rating: 2124 (January 2019)
  • Peak Blitz Rating: 2567 (November 2021)
  • Peak Bullet Rating: 2566 (February 2022)

From humble beginnings, starting with a rapid rating low of around 1300 in 2018 to dominating bullet games with a score over 2500 in recent years, chessnsk’s rating history reads like a thrilling chess novel. Notably, their longest winning streak stretches to an impressive 14 games — clearly showing some epic runs of form!

Playing Style & Strengths

With a remarkable 81% endgame frequency and an average victory stretched over nearly 72 moves, chessnsk certainly enjoys the grind of pushing advantages deep into the endgame battlefield. The player’s comeback rate stands tall at almost 82%, proving they’re not just a scorer of early victories but a resilient gladiator who triumphs in tough fights. However, be warned: the Tilt Factor is 5, so maybe don’t provoke chessnsk with foolish blunders!

Also fascinating is chessnsk’s rather unusual timing preference: their best performance peaks around 8 AM, making them the perfect early bird warrior - probably hopped up on coffee and ready to blitz out opponents before breakfast.

Signature Openings & Techniques

Top Secret might jokingly be the codename for their opening prep since their exact weaponry is kept under wraps, but we do know they have a 71.57% winning rate in rapid games with this mysterious strategy. The Nimzowitsch Defense Scandinavian Bogoljubov Berlin Gambit is also in chessnsk’s arsenal, proven effective in at least one rapid game victory. So tactical elegance and unpredictable choices define this player’s approach.

Legendary Battles & Fun Facts

Chessnsk’s recent triumph on May 18, 2025, against the opponent TrimalchioLibertus was a masterpiece of persistence, culminating in a resignation after a fierce battle lasting 35 moves in a rapid format. The tactical fireworks in that game reveal the depth and creativity this IM unleashes.

Despite some losses peppered throughout the years (because nobody’s perfect, right?), chessnsk has carved out a reputation for tenacity and a knack for outplaying opponents in the critical moments. Their record with frequent rivals showcases a mix of fierce rivalries and dominant victories, with many opponents falling to that trademark IM prowess.

Final Thought

Whether it’s blitz, bullet, or rapid, chessnsk embodies the spirit of chess with a blend of strategic depth, quick wit, and a dash of mystery. An International Master today, a legend tomorrow - or at least, a pretty good excuse to blame when your own pieces mysteriously hang.
