Michael Prusikin GM

Michael Prusikin (aka Prumich) - Grandmaster Extraordinaire

Michael Prusikin, affectionately known by fans and foes alike as "Prumich," is a chess Grandmaster whose reputation precedes him—mostly because there's little data to contradict the legend!

Despite an enigmatic record with no publicly available statistics on ratings, wins, losses, or favorite openings, Michael’s title alone tells a tale of dedication, strategy, and probably countless sleepless nights staring at 64 squares.

Known neither for long winning streaks nor vexing losses, Prumich’s style remains a mystery wrapped in an enigma—perfectly balanced between myth and mastery. With a zero early resignation rate and no recorded average moves per game, you could say Michael’s games are as unpredictable as a cat on a chessboard.

What Michael lacks in publicly available stats, he makes up for in pure chess charisma and the coveted FIDE Grandmaster title—a badge earned by few and feared by many.

Whether analyzing complex endgames or simply enjoying the quiet tension before the first move, Prusikin embodies the spirit of chess: thoughtful, challenging, and full of surprises.

Here’s to Michael Prusikin, the Grandmaster whose true victories may lie beyond the scoreboard.
