Meet Malyi Viacheslav
Malyi Viacheslav, known on the board as Viacheslav92, is a FIDE Master who has turned online chess into a marathon. Since August 2018 he has played tens of thousands of rated games, with a clear love for blitz. His peak blitz rating of 2753 (2025-05-12) proves that volume and ambition can go hand in hand.
His record is enormous: more than 45,000 analyzed games, a longest winning streak of 28, and a longest losing streak of 13. In short, he can fly high, hit a wall, and then simply queue up for the next game. That resilience is part of his charm.
Playing Style and Repertoire
Viacheslav is an opening adventurer. He has played the Sicilian Defense in countless forms, including the sharp Najdorf Variation, and he has visited the Caro-Kann Defense thousands of times. He is equally comfortable with offbeat ideas such as the Amazon Attack, the Siberian Attack, and the cheeky Blackburne Shilling Gambit.
His style is aggressive but not reckless. He loves to give early checks, especially with rooks and queens, and his first capture tends to arrive around move six. His endgame frequency of 83.34 shows a player who rarely avoids the long fight.
Rivalries
No chess biography is complete without rivals. Against Anselm Wagner, Viacheslav has played 260 battles, a genuine online rivalry. The score is demanding with 91 wins, 146 losses, and 23 draws. Then there is timzhan, who provides far happier memories: 143 wins in 148 games, with only 2 losses. Some rivalries are simply one sided.
Time Control Tastes and Habits
Blitz is his preferred battlefield, but his bullet sample is gigantic. In 2024 he reached a bullet peak of 2721 (2024-12-16), then shifted gears and pushed blitz to 2753 (2025-05-12) in spring 2025. His best hour to play appears to be 05:00, and his win rate is slightly higher on Sundays and Mondays.
He wins more with the white pieces, holding a 52.2 percent White win rate, while remaining dangerous with Black at 48.59 percent. A comeback rate of 87.62, a win rate after losing a piece of 48.01, and a tilt factor of 13 paint the picture of a stubborn competitor who keeps fighting until the last flag falls.
