Egor Bogdanov GM

Egor Bogdanov - Grandmaster Extraordinaire

Meet Egor Bogdanov, a true chess titan who has earned the prestigious Grandmaster title from FIDE. Not just your average chess enthusiast, Egor battles on the 64 squares at blistering speeds and with razor-sharp tactics that leave opponents scrambling.

Chess Ratings & Style

Egor has proven to be a formidable force across all time controls. His peak ratings include a whopping 2968 in Bullet chess, a striking 2937 in Blitz, and an impressive 2416 in Rapid. Daily chess buffs know him as the strategist with a peak over 2100, but let’s be honest, Egor shines brightest when the clock ticks fast.

Known for his patient endgame skills — with an average of about 80 moves per win — and an almost uncanny 89.5% comeback rate when trailing, Egor's games are a rollercoaster ride to victory. Opponents beware: the Grandmaster’s psychological resilience and tactical awareness make surrendering early a poor choice (though sometimes inevitable).

Playing Preferences & Strategies

Egor prefers high-octane openings cloaked under the label "Top Secret." When playing Bullet or Blitz, he unleashes these mysterious lines that have netted him over 56% win rate in Bullet and an even more ferocious 64% in Blitz.

Whether it’s the hyperaccelerated Dragon variations of the Sicilian or sneaky defenses like the Scandinavian or King's Indian derivatives, Egor’s repertoire is as vast as it is deadly.

Notable Achievements

• Longest winning streak: 25 games – a demonstration of relentless dominance.
• Bullet games played: over 1500 with an outstanding winning record.
• Known for turning blunders into wins with an impressive 57.76% win rate after losing a piece.
• Peak Blitz rating of 2937 (May 2025) makes Egor one of the speed chess elite.

Recent Battles

Recently, under the username vizumatv4hoda, Egor showcased brilliant command in a game starring the Center Game Accepted, Kieseritzky Variation, claiming victory by resignation in a tense duel lasting just 23 moves.

Not every day is a win, though. A recent lesson came from the Scandinavian Defense, reminding Egor and fans that even grandmasters have off days (or off openings).

Fun Facts

When Egor isn’t dazzling with chess tactics or shaking the top of leaderboards, they’re probably the human embodiment of calm — with a tilt factor of only 9 (on a scale where many others hit panic mode long before that). Also, Egor plays best around noon, so your best chance to catch a less lethal game? Any other time!

Chess might be a battle of minds but Egor makes it look like a dazzling dance on Black and White floors — just don’t try to outdance this Grandmaster.
