Vladislav Artemiev - Grandmaster Extraordinaire
Meet Vladislav Artemiev, a fierce chess Grandmaster who dances on the 64 squares with the subtlety of a cat and the precision of a Swiss watch. Rated sky-high in both Blitz and Bullet chess, Vladislav has clocked maximum ratings of 2808 in Blitz and an eye-popping 2953 in Bullet — proof that speed and strategy are his best friends.
A Quick Glance at His Explosive Playstyle
With an average game length of about 67 moves per win, Artemiev doesn’t just rush for the kill; he patiently dismantles opponents like a master sculptor refining his masterpiece. His endgame frequency hovers near 80%, showing he’s not just a quick finisher but a thinker who relishes the final showdown. And when the chips are down? Vladislav doesn’t just survive; he comes roaring back with a stunning 88% comeback rate — the kind of resilience that would make a rubber ball jealous.
Record-Breaking Streaks and Tactics
Did we mention he once held a 26-game winning streak? That's enough games to beat up on half a tournament’s worth of grandmasters in a row without blinking. Tactical awareness is his secret weapon: after losing a piece, Artemiev’s win rate is a flawless 100%, making him a nightmare opponent who turns disaster into victory faster than you can say “checkmate.”
Opponent Whisperer
Vladislav's extensive opponent list reads like a who's who of online chess battlers. With a 60%+ win rate against many top rivals and a perfect 100% win record against some, Artemiev clearly knows how to crack the toughest of defenses. Fun fact: his record against "murmah2003" and "pelingorki" is a pristine 100%, probably because they didn’t see him coming.
Timing is Everything
Whether it's the crack of dawn or the late-night grind, Artemiev's win rates remain impressively solid—peaking at an astounding 79% winning rate in the quiet hours of 1 AM. Clearly, Vladislav thrives when the world sleeps, thinking ten moves ahead while everyone else’s eyes are barely open.
Psychology & Quirks
Even grandmasters get the jitters—Vladislav exhibits a modest tilt factor of 12, indicating he’s human after all. But he’s not one to throw in the towel early, boasting a low early resignation rate of just 1.28%. This guy fights until the last pawn falls (or gets promoted).
In Summary
In the fast-paced universe of online bullet and blitz chess, Vladislav Artemiev stands as a titan of tactics, a champion of comebacks, and a magician who turns fleeting moments into lasting triumphs. Opponents beware: whether you're facing him in the early morning or late at night, this Grandmaster bricks no moves and blinks no eyes.
Hi Vladislav!
You continue to demonstrate the dynamic, resource-hunting style that has taken you to the very top of online blitz. Your recent sessions show a healthy win rate (see
and ), yet even at your level there are small edges you can convert into extra points.Your strengths
- Opening versatility. You handle 1.d4, 1.e4 and various fianchetto systems with equal ease, frequently steering the game into less-theoretical structures that suit your feel for piece activity.
- Practical instincts in sharp positions. The miniature against mukhin1 in the Scandinavian is a textbook example of seizing the initiative and never letting go.
- End-game speed. Even in low-time scrambles you calculate forcing lines with remarkable accuracy, e.g. your conversion in the R+P vs R ending on 30 Dec.
Growth opportunities
-
Early clock management.
Five of the seven recent losses were on time from equal or better positions. Try to reach move 20 with at least 35 % of your starting time. A quick mental “tempo check” every five moves will help. -
French Exchange structures as White.
In the bascheyaro game you allowed ...c5 with little pressure. After 3.exd5 exd5 4.Nf3 Nf6 5.Bd3 c5, consider 6.Bb5+ to disturb Black’s harmony, or stick to 3.Nc3 to keep complexity. -
Queen activity in the middlegame.
Repeated queen forays (e.g. Qb5–a5–a4 in the Queen’s Indian loss) cost several tempi. A simple heuristic: if the queen moves twice before your least-developed piece moves once, rethink. -
Clarifying winning conversions.
The following win contained multiple chances to simplify earlier. Try annotating it once without an engine and highlight all moments you could have traded into a trivially won ending.
Targeted training plan (4 weeks)
- Week 1 – Time awareness drills. Play 20 bullet games focusing purely on finishing with >10 s. Annotate the three fastest wins and three losses.
- Week 2 – French Exchange refresh. Build a mini-repertoire file with 10 critical ideas for White. Test it in at least 30 games.
- Week 3 – Queen-in-checklist. Before each queen move ask: “Does it create two new threats and is all my minor piece development complete?” Log any violations.
- Week 4 – Technical endings. Daily 15-minute sessions on R+P vs R and Q+P vs Q endings. Aim for 90 % success in Lichess tablebase trainer.
