Александр Потапов
Grandmaster of the Chessboard
Meet Александр Потапов, a true Grandmaster whose chess pieces dance to the rhythm of strategy and psychology. Known to friends and foes alike as yamalchess, Александр’s blitz game is a rollercoaster of brilliance — with a max rating soaring over 2580 and a win rate that could make pawns weep in fear.
Since 2018, Александр has blitzed through opponents with the precision of a Swiss watchmaker, boasting a staggering 531 wins out of 805 blitz battles. His bullet chess is no joke either — a fearsome 72.7% win rate that leaves time running out before his opponents can even blink.
He’s not just about quick decisions; Александр plays the long game. With an average of nearly 70 moves per win, patience is clearly part of his arsenal, just before delivering knockout blows. And when things get tricky? His comeback rate of over 84% and a perfect 100% win rate after losing a piece prove he’s as resilient as they come. Tilt? Barely a blip, with a low tilt factor of 6 making him the Zen master of the chess battlefield.
