EvgenyBurmakin - The FIDE Master on the Blitz Arena
Meet Евгений Бурмакин, or as the online boards call him, EvgenyBurmakin, a FIDE Master with a wily knack for blitz chess that borders on the supernatural. Since first putting his pawns on the board in 2018, Evgeny has waged thousands of rapid battles, earning a peak blitz rating of 2483 in April 2025 — a formidable feat that makes grandmasters nod in respect (or at least raise an eyebrow).
Evgeny's style? Imagine a patient strategist who plays the long game with an average of over 70 moves per win, savoring endgames with a frequency upward of 87%. He's so tough to shake that his comeback rate clocks in at an impressive 84% — if you think you’ve caught him out, think again! But don't be fooled by the precision; he's also been known to resign early about 0.6% of the time, proving that even this master knows when to bow out gracefully (or save energy for the next lightning duel).
With a blitz win record tipping the scales at 251 wins against 326 losses and 45 draws, Evgeny’s not always the favorite, but his thrilling style and fearless tactical awareness keep fans on the edge of their seats. His best hour? Surprisingly, around 1 PM, when his brain seems sharp as a bishop’s diagonal. And Mondays and Thursdays? Legendary for a perfect winning streak — maybe the start-of-the-week mojo fuels him!

Whether storming on the battlefield with white or cunningly defending the black pieces, Evgeny continues to sharpen his blade in blitz and bullet arenas, reminding us all that chess is not just a game, but an art – with a dash of cheeky flair.
