Harutyun Barseghyan (aka Harut-1998)
International Master - The Chess Tactician
Born with an uncanny ability to see ten moves ahead (or maybe just a few), Harutyun Barseghyan, proudly carrying the title of International Master from FIDE, is a force to be reckoned with in blitz and bullet chess circles. Known for his resilience, Harutyun boasts an astounding 94.13% comeback rate – so if you think you’ve got him cornered, prepare for a surprise!
With a blitz peak rating reaching 2772 in 2020 and bullet maxing out at 2747, Harutyun loves the thrill of speed chess almost as much as he loves breaking winning streak records, including a longest winning streak of 13 games. His average blitz win charmingly takes about 88 moves, proving he's not just a sprinter but also a marathoner at heart.
When he’s not dazzling opponents with rapid-fire bullet games (where his win rate is an impressive 57%), or cruising through blitz battles with a consistent 51.5% win rate, Harutyun is probably busy dodging early resignations himself – with a remarkably low rate of just 1.59%, which clearly shows he's a stubborn fighter, ready to squeeze every drop of juice from each position.
Fun fact: Harutyun’s psychological tilt factor is at a modest 11, which means he keeps his cool better than most when the game gets spicy. Also, he’s undefeated after losing a piece – a 100% win rate after a material slip-up – talk about turning lemons into lemonade.
His opening repertoire remains a “Top Secret” weapon, with thousands of games played and a win rate that keeps opponents guessing. Whether playing white, where he wins 54% of the time, or black, with a solid 50% victory rate, Harutyun’s chess style combines deep endgame knowledge with tactical resilience to craft memorable battles.
Harutyun’s recent adversaries better watch out – whether it’s a friendly game or a high-stakes online clash, Harutyun Barseghyan is the master tactician you don’t want to underestimate. So next time you face him with your queen hanging, remember: you’re not just playing an International Master, you’re playing the comeback king!
