Style & Strategy
Egor combines classical opening theory with a modern sense of aggression. His Sicilian Defense (especially the Hyperaccelerated Dragon variation) and Indian Game tactics have racked up some serious wins, boasting win rates over 60% in rapid and blitz formats. His games often display deep endgame play with an average of nearly 61 moves in wins. Patience is key!
Egor’s comeback rate is nothing short of heroic—over 77% of the time when he loses a piece, he fights back like a chess gladiator. Though his tilt factor is a humble 12, proving even great warriors occasionally get a little flustered, he's best known for shining bright around 10 PM – true night owl vibes.
Record & Rivalries
With over 1000 wins combined on blitz and bullet, Egor has tangled with a vast spectrum of opponents — from friendly noobs (30% win rate, just joking, it’s much higher!) to seasoned veterans, pulling off impressive streaks including a legendary 14-game winning streak. However, sometimes luck runs out, as shown in rare lengthy losing streaks—because hey, even chess heroes have their off days.
Memorable Battles
One recent gem: on July 9th, 2024, Egor crushed an opponent with a stylish checkmate in a fiercely contested Indian Game. His ability to swiftly transition from defense to offense is his secret sauce, making each game a thrill ride. You can relive the tension and drama here.
