Meet Артем, a passionate chess warrior whose journey on the 64-square battlefield is filled with tactical twists and strategic turns. Often choosing the mysterious "Top Secret" opening, Артем isn't just keeping opponents guessing—sometimes, even Артем is figuring out the next move on the fly.
Clocking in a respectable peak rapid rating of 680 in March 2025, Артем's rapid games reveal a player who thrives under moderate pressure, maintaining an almost even scoreline of wins and losses, with a few draws sprinkled in for dramatic effect. Blitz, bullet, and daily formats each showcase different facets of Артем's game style: from the daring bullet plays peaking at 635 rating, to a solitary but perfect daily game that ended in triumph.
Playing Style & Psychology
- Early Resignations: Not afraid to call it quits early when the chips are down—only about 6.67% of games end this way, showing both pragmatism and occasional stubbornness.
- Endgame Enthusiast: Over half of Артем's games reach the endgame (55%), proving stamina and love for long, strategic battles.
- Comeback Artist: With a comeback rate of 69.23%, don’t count Артем out when things look bleak — this player fights like a knight for every square!

Signature Openings
Артем dances mostly with the enigmatic Top Secret opening in rapid chess, where the win rate hovers near 35%. Other favored beginnings include the solid King’s Pawn Opening (an impressive 80% win rate!) and several Italian and Four Knights variations where balanced play is key. In bullet games, Артем’s Scandinavian Defense and Italian Game boast a perfect 100% win rate—quick and sharp seem to be the buzzwords here.
Recent Games and Highlights
One of Артем’s crowning moments was a recent rapid game against opponent djopatato, where after a graceful combination and some nimble knight maneuvers, Артем sealed the deal with a classic checkmate at move 37. This game was all about persistence and exploiting tiny weaknesses—a hallmark of Артем’s battle-hardened mindset.
Of course, every chess tale has its trials. Recent setbacks like a tricky loss by resignation against nehasah641 remind Артем that even the best strategists have lessons to learn. But with a tilt factor rating of only 9 out of 100, Артем’s spirit stays mostly unshaken.
Fun Fact
Артем’s most successful hour to strike is oddly around 17:00, with a blazing 70% win rate—perhaps a secret coffee-fueled power hour? Also, Tuesday and Wednesday stand out as days with higher win chances, suggesting weekday play might be the real key to unlocking victory.
In summary: Артем is a determined, clever, and slightly mysterious competitor who enjoys a thoughtful game as much as a surprise attack. Whether battling in rapid or blazing through bullet, this player’s story is still unfolding, one checkmate (or resignation) at a time.
