Who is GM Konevlad?

Just to stop the rumors: No, I am not GM Konevlad!

@XEVANEX Hi GM Konevlad.

It's the Stig, savage. The Stig 😉

Presumably the moderators know who he is because to get a titled account you need proof of identity...

really most likely to be vladislav artemiev. he was online for some time and got offline for 2 hours and at that very time artemiev started to play a chess tournament on a different site and when he got offline on that site just after that konevlad got online in lichess and played some more blitz. also his slight immature profile says he hasnt been a real top player/isnt a complete accomplished player and also has a lot of skill? it has to be him.

@XEVANEX im pretty sure they were talking about me, but no im not Konevlad

Judging by the metadata probably Artemiev, and certainly someone from Russia because of the joke that consists of his surname and "I ride like a horse" part in his profile

Would say letting people stay anonymous is a good decision actually. Doesn't
it shows that lichess cares for privacy. Isn't that a favor by lichess to it's players?

I think is Magnus Carlsen, more chances than other player, maybe.....
