Vladimir Demin - International Master Extraordinaire

Known in the chess circles as Ural_bogatyr, Vladimir Demin is an International Master who dances with the sixty-four squares like a grandmaster of mystery. His blitz performances have dazzled opponents year after year, boasting a peak rating of 2657 in 2022 and maintaining a sturdy presence above 2500 ever since. If rapid-fire brain gymnastics were an Olympic sport, Vladimir would surely bring home the gold.

Whether wielding the white pieces or plotting in the shadows of black, Vladimir’s win rates hover around the 47% mark, proving his consistency is his superpower. His average game length, around 78 moves, tells us one thing: this is no quick-stab player. When Vladimir wins, it’s a marathon of wits; when he loses, well, he’s still there, playing till the very last pawn falls.

A blend of resilience and brilliance defines his tactical style: a staggering 91.63% comeback rate and a flawless record of wins after losing a piece (yes, 100%!). Opponents beware, it’s never truly over until Vladimir’s last move — and even then, you better double-check.

Tilt? A mild 10 on the scale shows Vladimir keeps his cool under pressure, though he admits casual games allow him a bit more fun (with nearly 50% better win rates). His endgame prowess shines brightest with an impressive 82.77% frequency of pushing games to long, exhausting finals — the true playground of chess craftsmen.

Off the board, stories hint at his secret opening book, affectionately labeled "Top Secret", with almost 1500 blitz games under its belt. Opponents have no clue what’s coming — but Vladimir’s record speaks for itself.

Friend or foe, teammate or rival, Vladimir Demin is a chess warrior whose passion and precision make him a force to be reckoned with on every hour of every day — except maybe 21:00, when his win rate drops to a modest 20%, probably because he’s busy dreaming about the next brilliant combination.

In short: Vladimir Demin is not just a player; he’s a legend in the making, a blitz beast, and a chess player who bends the rules of probability in his favor.
