Vitaly Teterev GM

Vitaly Teterev - Grandmaster Extraordinaire

Meet Vitaly Teterev, aka tetrix83 - a Grandmaster who doesn’t just play chess; he practically choreographs it! Earning the prestigious Grandmaster title from FIDE, Vitaly has turned battlefield-like blitz arenas into his personal playground with a peak blitz rating north of 2700, a caliber only the best among the best ever reach.

Rating & Style

Known for a fierce tactical awareness and an impressive 85% comeback rate, Vitaly thrives when the odds are against him. His style? Patient and resilient – he enjoys squeezing every move out of the endgame, averaging more than 74 moves per win, and gracefully maneuvering through complex positions with wit and precision.

Blitz & Bullet Dominance

Blitz is where Vitaly shines brightest. Over thousands of games, his blitz win rate hovers near 50% against tough opponents, with more wins than losses edging at every tick of the clock. He's a master of surprise openings, pulling out Sicilian Rossolimo and Pirc Defense strategies like a magician’s hat tricks. And in Bullet? His win rate dramatically spikes over 79% — lightning-fast reflexes meet razor-sharp intellect.

Psychological Warrior

Vitaly's tilt factor is 17, which means even when the heat is on, he keeps a cool head, mostly. His favorite time to play? Midnight, because even chess Grandmasters appreciate the benefits of battling when the world sleeps and pieces mysteriously move themselves. When he loses a piece, he still manages to win nearly half the time – quite the optimist or maybe just devilishly tricky!

Victories to Brag About

His recent games demonstrate a dazzling array of wins, including a breathtaking blitz game employing the Sicilian Defense Nyezhmetdinov Rossolimo Attack. In one such encounter, he tactfully maneuvered his opponents into resignation — a blessing for those watching, and a nightmare for those sitting across him.

Quirky Stats

• Longest Winning Streak: 21 consecutive wins (because why stop?)
• Average Moves in Victory: 74, showing he loves a good fight before the final bow
• Winning White Pieces Rate: 53.73%, proving first-move advantage isn't just a superstition

Vitaly Teterev is more than just a chess player – he’s an enduring force on the board, a mental gladiator, and occasionally, a midnight strategist. Whether blundering into the unknown or dominating the clock, tetrix83’s games are always worth watching – just don’t blink, because if you do, you might miss the next brilliant move!

“In chess, as in life, it’s not whether you get knocked down, it’s whether you get up and checkmate.” – surely something Vitaly would say if he had time between his games.
