Who is GM Konevlad?

It looks to me like 2 persons have been playing under that nick. I also seem to get what that "green fields" means. Thats my answer to those who think he couldnt be Magnus.
I am surely proud to think Artemiev coud be that strong, but there are other inconsistencies, mostly of psychological type: Vlad is too modest to make that tricks, at least i think so.
that's exactly what I'm thinking. "Look out Carlsen, I'm coming for you!" is so utterly unlike Artemiev.

And Artemiev's English might not be the best, but the Konevlad message in this thread is clearly exaggerated in terms of "bad english".

No idea how he does it when both accounts are active, but my money is on Magnus. 100% his sense of humor.

not much to add (besides i cant image HOW to actually REALLY do it, so my money is nowhere atm). perhaps: 1000% magnus humor
Guys, stop thinking up.
This is Vladislav Artemyev. Many factors speak of this.
1. On liches, he is friends (subscription) with Russian chess players - Gata Kamsky and Grigory Oparin. This is a Russian chess player.
2. Gata and Vladislav stand for one chess club - “Rook” Kazan. They are also friends * on chess.com.
3. With Magnus they played in the same tournament on lichess and both were on the podium. This is not Magnus.
4. Strongly plays for Artemyev? Vladislav at the age of 18 was the third in the official FIDE blitz ranking.
5. And bad English? This is normal for Russia. I am also writing this post using google.translate)
@ferzio72 have you considered russians might simply be the biggest group of chessmen here on lichess? Which is true i think. That means everyone has a lot of russian friends.
Alex Bortnyk said on his last youtube stream something like that:
"If its not Artemiev I just dont know who hi is. Not too many people can play bullet on this level. And i know all of them"
