Roman Lovkov - International Master Extraordinaire

Meet Roman Lovkov, known in the chess cosmos as Lovkov_Roman, a player who has carved out his own immortal niche on the 64 squares and earned the prestigious title of International Master from FIDE.

Roman’s chess journey reads like a thrilling saga of glories and gritty battles. From humble beginnings back in 2014 with a Blitz rating of 1323, he catapulted himself to a fierce 2795 peak by 2025—almost hitting the mythical 2800 barrier! His tactical acumen is so sharp that his opponent’s pieces might as well be wearing neon signs saying “Beware!” With a comeback rate of a staggering 90.17%, Roman proves time and again that losing a piece just means the game is still very much alive.

When it comes to blitz chess, Roman is a marathon runner disguised as a sprinter, averaging 78 moves per win and even more moves per loss. Endgames? That’s where he loves to dance, with over 82% endgame frequency – a true connoisseur of the final moves, squeezing victories out of the tiniest advantages. His White pieces are a reliable partner with nearly 50% wins, while his Black pieces don’t disappoint either, holding a respectable 43% win rate.

Bullet and Rapid? Roman has blitzkrieg speed, boasting monster bullet ratings near 2900 and maintaining an almost perfect 75% rapid win rate in limited sample games. And despite his serious prowess, he’s not afraid to throw in a cheeky resignation just 0.21% of the time. After all, even an International Master knows when it’s time to grab some coffee.

Psychologically, Roman’s tilt factor is an impressively low 10—so he won’t be throwing his queen across the board anytime soon. More likely, he’ll calmly outwit you while sipping on his third espresso of the match. His daily performance? Nearly flawless with a 99% win rate, proving that when it comes to chess, practice makes perfect.

Off the board, Roman’s opponents vary widely, but no matter who sits across from him, the story usually ends with the same punchline: a well-fought battle and often, a win for our master tactician. Beware, challengers of Lovkov_Roman; you’re in for both a chess lesson and a spectacle!

In short: Roman Lovkov is the kind of chess player who doesn’t just play the game – he lives and breathes it, crafting masterpieces on the board while maybe occasionally chuckling at how you thought you had him trapped.
