Mykhailo Shinkarev - International Master
Meet Mykhailo Shinkarev, a chess aficionado officially recognized with the prestigious title of International Master by FIDE. Mykhailo’s chess journey is a rollercoaster of epic blitz battles and lightning-fast bullet games that could make even the Black Queen consider resigning early!
With a blitz rating climbing as high as 2621, and a bullet peak of 2400, Mykhailo is a formidable force on the board. They boast an astonishing 92.31% comeback rate, proving they never throw in the towel—even when the queen gets kidnapped by an opponent’s knight (psychologically, that’s tough!). When losing a piece, Shinkarev’s win rate spikes to a perfect 100%, showing true grit and tactical brilliance.
An average game length nearing 85 moves per win suggests our IM is as patient as a zen master but don’t mistake patience for passivity—Mykhailo’s blitz games often hover near 2500+ rating, and their longest winning streak of 21 games can intimidate any challenger. Their style has a touch of drama, including around a 39% early resignation rate, perhaps saving energy for those long endgames which they frequent 87.46% of the time.
Mykhailo’s favorite opening? That’s a top secret worthy of its own spy novel, with over 25,000 blitz games under their belt using it! More impressive than any Hollywood secret agent’s dossier.
Off the clock, Mykhailo plays the toughest opponents like "bullhouse14" and "gaganjaani," proving their mettle on the virtual battlefield with resilience and flair. When asked about their secret, they might just smile and remind you: “A true chess warrior thrives both in dazzling attacks and in quiet, unyielding defense.”
Whether it’s blitz at midnight or bullet at dawn, Mykhailo Shinkarev delivers chess performances with the precision of a Swiss watch and the heart of a champion. A player to watch — and maybe challenge (if you dare).
