Arsene Kukhmazov
International Master
Meet Arsene Kukhmazov, a chess virtuoso who has earned the prestigious title of International Master from FIDE. Arsene is no stranger to the battlefield of 64 squares, wielding a rating that has danced spectacularly around the 2900+ mark in Blitz — peaking at an astonishing 3023 in May 2025. This player's blitz games are like roller-coasters packed with tactical fireworks, boasting a win record of over 5500 games and a relentless drive that even causes opponents to sigh “Just resign already!” more often than not.
Arsene shines brightest in the razor-fast world of Blitz and Bullet chess, where the clock ticks like a ticking time bomb and nerves often betray the less seasoned. The current winning streak continues to dazzle, with come-from-behind victories making up nearly 88% of their triumphs after losing a piece—a true testament to their cheeky resilience and stubborn grit.
Strategically, Arsene favors the Queen’s Gambit Declined Catalan and the Bogo Indian Defense Grunfeld Variation, delivering a punchy 63% win rate in the latter, proving they enjoy a good mix of classical theory and modern twists. When forced to choose, they play with the white pieces a bit more confidently, winning more than half the time (54.84%). And when the clock strikes early morning hours, most humans hit snooze, but Arsene’s “best time to play” is in the wee hours of 5 AM—no wonder the cataclysmic tactical explosions happen when the world’s half-asleep.
While Arsene’s Endgame frequency is impressively high (87.41%), their average moves per win hover around a marathon 89 moves, proving patience and precision over flashy rapid-fire attacks. Early resignation is a rare sight here (less than 0.5%), reminding us all that Arsene fights till the pawn drops—or the opponent's king does.
