Egor Lashkin - International Master

Meet Egor Lashkin, a chess player whose pieces move sharper than a freshly shaved head! Officially holding the esteemed title of International Master from FIDE, Egor has made quite a name in the chess world with a style that combines icy precision and tactical fireworks.

Egor's rapid rating journey started modestly, but by 2024, they were scorching the boards with a peak rapid rating of 2525. If rapid play is the warm-up, egor's blitz stats show they bring the heat: a blistering peak rating of 2961, which could make even the quickest grandmasters blink twice. And let's not forget their bullet performance — a true testament to lightning-fast thinking — with a peak rating topping 2885.

With over 1,800 wins combined across all time controls and a fearless approach that boasts a longest winning streak of 19 games, Egor is a force on the virtual battlefield. Their dedication to the "Top Secret" opening (the mystery behind that? Only Egor knows!) has minted them a consistent win rate of more than 64% in rapid and above 50% in blitz and bullet. When Egor whispers "checkmate," it's usually followed by a swift resignation from the opponent — not without a healthy serving of respect.

Psychologically, Egor keeps a cool head with a tilt factor of 10, proving that losing a piece doesn't rattle this master much — their comeback win rate after losing a piece stands near 49%. Endgame enthusiast? Absolutely! They finish nearly 89% of their games in the endgame stage, savoring these strategic battles more than morning coffee. Most games end confidently on resignation or checkmate, balancing patience and killer instincts perfectly.

Egor is no stranger to battling top opponents repeatedly, facing players like robertojbm and want2lose dozens of times. Yet, when it comes to handling the mentally taxing blitz format, Egor’s resilience shines through numerous wins and tough losses alike. It’s safe to say Egor’s opening preparations frequently keep opponents on their toes, with a repertoire featuring kings, Indians, and Slav defenses tackled with equal measure of aggression and subtlety.

Prefer gaming in the early morning? Egor’s best time to play is surprisingly around 5 AM — possibly while the world still sleeps, they sharpen their mind and aim for domination. A curious fact: Egor’s average moves per win is slightly fewer than their moves per loss, indicating an aggressive push towards swift victories where hesitation is a luxury they don't afford.
