Chess Career Highlights

Tracking Sharapov's rating trajectory is like watching a thrilling sports drama unfold. His blitz rating soared to an impressive peak of 2697 in April 2025 – just shy of the legendary 2700 mark that separates the elite from the rest.

But Evgeny is no one-trick pony; his skills also shine in various time controls:

• Daily Chess: Peaked at 2172 (April 2022), showing his prowess in longer formats.
• Rapid Chess: Climbed to a peak rating of 2491 back in March 2020.
• Bullet Chess: A blistering peak of 2470 in August 2019.

Playing Style & Personality

With a penchant for deep endgames (entered in over 80% of his games!) and an average of nearly 74 moves per win, SharapovEvgeny is definitely not a rush artist – except when he's blitzing his way to victory. His ability to come back after losing a piece (win rate of almost 48%) demonstrates a fighting spirit that refuses to let the king fall without a royal battle.

Interestingly, he's been known to start games with nimble openings hidden under the cloak of "Top Secret" – which is code for “Don’t ask, just prepare for anything!” Among his favorite systems are dynamic variations of the Sicilian Defense and the Philidor Defense maneuverings.

Psychologically, Evgeny keeps his cool, with a low early resignation rate of 1.83%, and a tilt factor (chess-speak for how much he rages when losing) at a modest 8. But beware, his best time to play is 2 a.m. – apparently, when most of us are dreaming, SharapovEvgeny is scheming checkmates!
