Title: Grandmaster (FIDE)

About Alexey

Alexey Khruschiov is a force to be reckoned with in the world of chess blitz. Known for their razor-sharp tactical awareness and a blend of patience and aggression, Alexey has climbed the blitz rating ladder with a peak rating of 2739 achieved in December 2023. With over 400 games in a "Top Secret" opening repertoire (which is anything but secret to opponents after 59% losses), Alexey consistently tweaks their play to stay ahead of the curve.

Playing Style & Strengths

Alexey is a patient predator who loves a long, strategic endgame — their average winning game length clocks in at almost 56 moves, proving that giving up early is just not in their vocabulary. Even when down a piece, they bounce back with an impressive 55.5% win rate after losing material, showing nerves of steel and an uncanny ability to turn tables most wouldn't dare to bet on.

Yet, true to human form, about 23% of Alexey's games end with resignation—a humble acknowledgment that sometimes even Grandmasters know when to quit (before knocking over the board in frustration).

Records & Streaks

• Overall Blitz Record: 254 wins, 150 losses, 24 draws
• Longest Winning Streak: 11 games - quite the hot streak!
• Current Winning Streak: 2 games, always room for more
• Longest Losing Streak: 5 games - happens to the best!

Chess Personality Digital Footprint

Alexey is a bit of a night owl, with peak performance moments around 1 PM (a perfect 100% win rate at 13:00) and a surprising robust skill after midnight, boasting over 70% win rates between 11 PM and 7 AM. Clearly, caffeine and strategy are tightly linked here.

Monday isn't so bad either—a day when Alexey shines with a win rate of over 71%. No Monday blues when you're a Grandmaster!

Rivalries and Nemeses

Among the opponents Alexey has faced repeatedly, chempiblinka reigns supreme with 16 intense matchups, closely followed by ryantime and playfasterbughouse. While Alexey has some opponents they beat 100% of the time (talk about intimidation!), there are a few foes where the contest is tougher, showing that even a Grandmaster's journey is full of interesting challenges.

Memorable Victory

One of Alexey's latest dazzling displays came against dragonwelp on February 27, 2025. Using the King's Indian Defense, they outmaneuvered their opponent both strategically and on the clock to win on time after a fierce 54-move battle—true testament to endurance, skill, and perhaps a little bit of clock magic.

Fun Facts

• Average moves per loss: a hefty 64.6 moves; losing isn't quick and easy around Alexey's board.
• Enjoys both sides of the board equally, with a slightly better win rate with White (63.6%) compared to Black (54.8%).
• Resigns early in nearly a quarter of games—proof that even GMs know when the position is hopeless (but don't expect surrender on move 10!).

In short, Alexey Khruschiov, aka Sic_Transit_GM, is a blazing blitz Grandmaster who blends relentless tactical grit with strategic depth. When not busy toppling kings, they’re probably refining that "Top Secret" opening or planning to turn their next opponent into a cautionary tale. Watch out!
