Aleksandr Moiseenko GM

Aleksandr Moiseenko - The Chess Grandmaster Extraordinaire

Meet Aleksandr Moiseenko, a mighty Grandmaster from the realm of 64 squares, known online as severomorskij. With a FIDE title to his name and a repertoire that would make even the best pawns tremble, Aleksandr is no stranger to the thrills of blitz and bullet chess, where time ticks faster than a queen’s dance.

Since bursting onto the scene, Aleksandr has demonstrated a fascinating blend of shrewd tactics and dogged resilience. His peak Blitz rating soared to an astonishing 2980 in June 2025, while his bullet skills peaked even higher at a blistering 3005 in late 2023. It’s fair to say that when the clock is his fiercest opponent, Aleksandr often wins the race.

Over the years, severomorskij has logged thousands of games, racking up an impressive record with a cool 826 wins in blitz alone. His opening choices are cloaked in mystery (aptly grouped under “Top Secret”) but also include adventurous forays into lines like the Trompowsky Attack—where he shows a win rate that’ll make your bishop want to skip a break.

Known for an 86% comeback rate and a knack for turning adversity into opportunity, Aleksandr's stamina and psychological fortitude are second to none. Sure, he has a tilt factor of 11 (because who doesn’t get that little cocked eyebrow when blundering a queen?), but he’s quick to shake it off and strike back.

Off the board, one might imagine Aleksandr as a calm strategist sipping coffee while plotting his next over-the-board conquest. On the board? A relentless force, averaging over 75 moves per victory, never rushing the endgame and always hunting for the perfect checkmate.

Recent Triumph

In a recent scintillating blitz battle on June 4, 2025, Aleksandr (playing White) dazzled his opponent “sergoy” with a checkmate in 66 moves. The game featured the Trompowsky Attack, showcasing Aleksandr’s aggressive and precise play, proving there’s no better time to strike than right before the opponent blinks.

Fun Fact

Despite his deadly seriousness over the board, Aleksandr’s nickname severomorskij means “Northern Sea Man” — so maybe the chessboard is just his ocean, with pawns as his fleet, bishops and knights his daring captains, and grandmaster titles his legendary conquests. Just don’t expect him to sing shanties mid-game—he’s too busy planning his next blitz storm!
