Глеб Параховник — The Chess Adventurer

Meet Глеб Параховник, aka glebparahovnik, a rapidly improving and spirited chess player making his mark in the 2021 chess scene! With a rapid rating flirting near just shy of 1000 and blitz games full of spice, Глеб is no stranger to the wild rollercoaster of wins and losses — currently rocking an 11-24-1 record in rapid and bravely battling in blitz as well.

Playing Style & Stats

Known for an eight percent early resignation rate (hey, nobody likes losing slowly) and an impressive 80% comeback rate after setbacks, Глеб embodies the never-say-die spirit. His endgames are frequent and meaningful, with an average length of about 60 moves in wins — patience is a virtue!

Opening Pet Peeves

When it comes to openings, Глеб experiments quite a bit. Rapid games often commence with the Slav Defense and Queens Pawn Opening, usually with mixed results — zero wins in Slav but a sparkling 100% success in the rare and exotic Indian Game Yusupov Rubinstein System (talk about a surprise weapon). Blitz bouts boast some sweet victories with the Sicilian Defense and Petrovs Defense, proving that when the clock ticks fast, Глеб’s nerves and tactics kick into overdrive.

Memorable Battles

His most recent triumph was an artistic checkmate victory against alis6669 in the Indian Game Yusupov Rubinstein System, showcasing a killer combination and a deadly final blow that left the opponent gasping for air! You can relive this masterpiece here.

Psychology & Trends

Like any true chess warrior, Глеб's mental game has its quirks: a modest tilt factor of 10 hints at some occasional frustration, but overall, the difference between rated and casual victories suggests he brings his A-game when it counts. Mondays and Wednesdays are prime time for magic, with win rates over 50%, and he apparently likes an early morning challenge, boasting 100% wins at 7 AM and 16 PM (military style!)

Opponent Chronicles

His most frequent rival? solozhenkina_e, with 17 encounters, though the win rate there is a tough 5.88% — a humble reminder that every grandmaster was once a struggling newbie.

With a hunger for learning, a dash of bravado, and enough tactical smarts to keep opponents on their toes, Глеб Параховник is definitely one to watch. Whether dismantling defenses or staging comebacks, this chess player proves that chess is not just a game — it's an art, a fight, and a daily adventure.
