Vladislav Bakhmatsky — International Master Extraordinaire

Meet Vladislav Bakhmatsky, known in the chess realm as vlad10898, a player whose moves are as sharp as a razor and whose tactical prowess could make a grandmaster break a sweat. Awarded the prestigious title of International Master by FIDE, Vladislav has been quietly (or not so quietly) climbing the echelons of the chess universe.

Starting with a modest Bullet rating in 2016 at just 1365, Vladislav rocketed to a blazing peak rating of 2882 in Bullet chess by 2024 — evidence that patience is overrated when you can blitz your opponents to smithereens in under a minute! His Blitz rating growth is equally impressive, peaking at a formidable 2925 in 2025. That means when it comes to rapid-fire chess battles, Vladislav is basically a bullet with a name.

But it’s not all speed and flash; Vladislav’s style boasts an 82.47% endgame frequency, proving he’s not afraid to slug it out long-term. Plus, with a 91.17% comeback rate and a perfect 100% win rate after losing a piece, this player turns adversity into opportunity. In other words, if Vladislav were in a movie, he’d be the underdog who loses his queen but still checkmates with a sneaky pawn—classic hero stuff.

Off the board, Vladislav’s longest winning streak was an impressive 25 games. Currently, he’s riding a mild but promising winning streak of one. Hey, every champion starts with one, right?

Known to frequently face opponents like prepredeni, alexrustemov, and mahkum8, Vladislav holds a respectable overall winning record, showing that his knack for “Top Secret” openings keeps challengers guessing (and losing). His win rate with these openings hovers around a solid 55% to 58%, meaning he’s definitely cooking up something spicy in his opening repertoire.

When asked about his peak hours, Vladislav reportedly thrives most between 9 PM and 11 PM and also at an early bird hour of 6 AM (100% win rate—proves that some champions are just naturally gifted early risers or nocturnal masterminds).

Whether blitzing, bulleting, or taking his time in rapid and daily games, Vladislav plays with intelligence, grit, and just a hint of mischief. After all, why just checkmate your opponent when you can humiliate them with style?
