Denis Eraschenkov - International Master Extraordinaire

Enter the arena of chess battles, and you will likely cross paths with Denis Eraschenkov—an International Master whose blitz prowess is nothing short of spectacular. With a peak blitz rating touching the dizzy heights of 2734 in November 2021, Denis has repeatedly shown that when the clock ticks down, their brain kicks into overdrive.

Known online simply as Eraschenkov, Denis has amassed over 1,800 blitz games, boasting a commendable win rate close to 53%. If rapid and bullet formats were side projects, their perfect 100% win rate and near flawless bullet record suggest Denis treats those formats like casual training sessions—because beating opponents at lightning speed is just part of the daily grind.

Their playing style? Highly strategic with a love for the endgame, clocking in an impressive 84% endgame frequency; they thrive in the marathon moments of chess, drawing out victories with meticulous precision. Denis has a knack for comebacks too, turning the tables after losing pieces with a tactical awareness that frustrates many an opponent.

Off the board, Denis’ peak performances arrive in the evenings, notably around 8 PM, proving that great minds often burn the midnight oil (or simply prefer a good challenge before dinner). Their longest winning streak is an inspiring 14 games—definitely enough to send any opponent into a mild existential crisis.

Among their myriad of opponents, Denis has enjoyed repeated showdowns with players like korbul, karkam, and raihan240878, displaying a tactical resilience that often tips the scales in their favor. Just ask Oleg42YNWA, who recently experienced Denis’ mastery firsthand in a classic blitz battle.

Whether you're a fan of sharp openings, endgame artistry, or just love witnessing a well-timed blitz attack, Denis Eraschenkov brings excitement and determination to the chessboard. In a world where seconds matter as much as strategy, Denis proves that the blend of quick wit, solid technique, and a touch of chess wizardry can make anyone a formidable force.

Beware: Challenging Eraschenkov might lead to a sudden loss of pieces... and your dignity.
