Сергей Стрельников — International Master Extraordinaire
Meet Сергей Стрельников, also known in the digital battlegrounds as powerbars300, a fearless International Master recognized by FIDE. With a chessboard as his arena and 64 squares as the battlefield, Сергей has orchestrated countless victories armed with nothing but his wits and a finely-honed strategic mind.
His journey through the chess cosmos is marked by a dazzling peak blitz rating of 2602 achieved in May 2022 — a number that might just make your knight tremble in fear. Not to be outdone, his bullet play once soared to a formidable 2400 and his rapid rating peaks at 2318, revealing a player equally adept at furious speed and deep calculation.
Playing Style & Psychological Warfare
Сергей’s style? Let’s just say patience meets tactical fireworks. Known for an average win length of over 66 moves, he plays the long game — no early quits here, as only 17% of his games end prematurely! His impressive 81.25% comeback rate after setbacks speaks volumes: Sergey fights like a cornered dragon, never surrendering.
And when the chips are down, he still manages to win more than half the time after losing a piece (52.66%) — truly a testament to his resilience. His psychological "Tilt Factor" is just a modest 9, which means he keeps calm even when limbs and rooks fall victim to the opponent’s wrath.
