Artem Pingin - The International Master on Fire
Artem Pingin, proudly bearing the esteemed title of International Master bestowed by FIDE, is a whirlwind on the chessboard—especially when the clock is ticking. Morphing from a humble Blitz novice rating of 1576 in early 2024 to an astonishing peak near 2791 by 2025, Artem’s rapid rise is nothing short of spectacular.
In the world of Blitz, Artem boasts an impressive 66% win rate over nearly 200 games with a longest winning streak of 19 games—a streak that might have forced opponents to reconsider their opening choices (or sign up for therapy). Not one to shy away from the bullet format, Artem’s rapid firing style clocks in with a 65.9% win rate, proving that lightning reflexes pair naturally with top-notch tactical awareness.
Speaking of tactics, Artem sports a jaw-dropping 95.5% comeback rate and an unbeatable 100% win rate after losing a piece—clearly, a lost battle is just the setup for a spectacular victory. Opponents beware: surrendering material only fuels Artem’s fiery counterattacks.
Friendly on the board but fierce in battle, Artem’s win rates shine brightest on Mondays (a sharp 85.7%) and during those mystical weekend afternoons and evenings where inspiration hits hardest. Chess clocks ticking at 9 AM or 5 AM? Artem doesn’t just play, they dominate with a perfect 100% win record—clearly a morning person by chess standards.
Known for avoiding premature resignations (a mere 3.1% early resignation rate), Artem enjoys long and grueling endgames, often squeezing victory from complex positions after an average of 85 moves. White or black, it makes little difference: with over 70% success with white and 60.5% with black pieces, versatility defines Artem’s style.
Off the record, Artem might just be the greatest mystery in chess openings—an enigmatic “Top Secret” repertoire that has secured wins in over 125 blitz games alone. Opponents willing to crack that secret might have a better chance, but even then, Artem’s tenacity tends to turn the tide.
Whether it’s blitz, bullet, or casual games, Artem Pingin plays with passion, patience, and a penchant for thrilling comebacks that keep spectators and opponents alike on the edge of their seats. If you hear the clock ticking faster, it’s probably Artem coming for you.
