Playing Style & Characteristics
With a win rate above 60% in blitz and rapid games and an average winning streak hitting 19 games, Andrey is no stranger to momentum. He’s a player who doesn’t shy away from long battles—averaging around 60 moves to win shows he loves a good fight before declaring victory. Black or White, he keeps the pressure on, winning over 59% with Black and over 64% with White.
Despite a quirky early resignation rate of about 11%, which some might call a tactical retreat, Andrey bounces back impressively, boasting a comeback win rate over 73%. In other words, don’t count this player out when things look grim—there's always a clever trick or two up his sleeve.
Chess Personality
Andrey’s best period to play? Early mornings around 7 AM—a wise tip for his opponents who prefer to lounge in bed with their morning coffee.
His tilt factor is remarkably low (just 5), meaning he keeps his cool under pressure, rarely letting frustration complicate the board.
Legendary Opponents & Records
Facing tough rivals like "ziomario," "ravetechno," and "max2501," Andrey has battled through many intense matchups. But beware: several opponents suffer from a perfect 0% win rate against him (looking at you, "guscareaga" and "blitzkicker"). Meanwhile, some lucky players have a 100% win rate – thankfully, everyone needs some friends.
Memorable Moments
In his most recent victory, Andrey tactically dismantled “JeffTheMann” using the Budapest Gambit Adler Variation, winning by resignation after a fierce 40-move fight. A true display of patience and creativity.
Whether grinding out wins in blitz marathons, dazzling in rapid games, or occasionally flubbing a bullet, Andrey Terekhov brings passion, resilience, and a dash of mystery to every match.
