Gennady Matjushin GM

Gennady Matjushin - Grandmaster of the Chessboard

Meet Gennady Matjushin, also known in the chess realms as Peretyatko, a Grandmaster whose prowess across blitz and bullet chess has left many opponents scratching their heads and reconsidering their next move. Armed with a FIDE Grandmaster title, Gennady blitzes through positions faster than you can say "checkmate," with peak blitz and bullet ratings soaring up to an impressive 2760 and 2738 respectively.

Gennady's style? Think of a tactical whirlwind combined with ironclad endgames. With an astonishing 86.17% comeback rate and an ability to win over half the games even after losing a piece, Gennady embodies resilience and sharp strategy. Drawn-out battles aren’t for this Grandmaster, as the average moves for wins clock in around 85 moves, proving patience is indeed a virtue.

Whether playing as white or black, Gennady keeps a steady win rate around 56%, proving to be equally comfortable wielding either color. Opponents beware: the longest winning streak hit 8 games, but the longest losing streak is mercifully capped at 5 — a testament to the player’s psychological toughness and minimal tilt factor of 5.

When it comes to openings, Gennady has a "Top Secret" to success, boasting near 77% win rate in blitz and respectable 55% in bullet using the same daring choice — probably something only the bold or crazy would try, but it’s worked more often than not!

Fun fact: Gennady's best hour to make magic on the clock is 5 PM sharp, and Saturdays are by far their best day to conquer the chessboard with an 80% win rate. Who says weekend warriors don't dominate?

Highlight Game

In a brisk bullet victory against "hutek" in December 2017, Gennady orchestrated a brilliant sequence culminating in a timely win on time, showcasing tactical sharpness and time management as expertly as the moves themselves.

But even the Grandmaster has his off days — like facing "munch1239" in rapid chess, where the only recorded loss reminds us that chess is as humbling as it is thrilling. No shame in losing to a 1200 rating, right?

Whether sailing the stars of blitz or zooming through bullet, Gennady Matjushin’s chess journey is marked by fierce commitment, strategic daring, and a little bit of chess wizardry humor — because in the end, even Grandmasters like to have some fun on the board.
