Playing Style
Alexander's games are anything but boring. With an endgame frequency of over 80%, he prefers battles that stretch into the late stages where patience and chess wisdom truly shine. His average game length reveals a contemplative player who respects every move—winning games in an average of 72 moves, but never shying away from lengthy struggles of 78 moves and beyond when on the losing side.
Psychology & Quirks
Not one to resign early (0% early resignation rate), Alexander fights until the very end. Despite a tilt factor of 9 (because hey, who doesn’t get a little salty?), he thrives under pressure, boasting a staggering 45% better win rate in rated matches than in casual games. His prime hours? Catch him online around 11 AM or 9 PM, those are moments when he’s especially dangerous.
Notable Opponents
Alexander holds a peculiar scoreboard against his opponents—a mix of perfect scores (100% wins against players like tocandomadera, rigelstar, and exceptionallynooby) and a few nemeses where the crowd goes silent (looking at you, fighter4004). The battle scars show a player unafraid to face anyone and everyone, with over 483 blitz games and 11 bullet games recorded under a “Top Secret” opening arsenal keeping his rivals guessing.
In Sum
Alexander Ganichev is the embodiment of passion, perseverance, and just a pinch of chess madness. Whether he’s storming the clock in bullet or grinding down opponents in marathon blitz duels, this FIDE Master’s story is far from over. With every move, he writes new chapters — some funny, some fierce, but always fascinating.
