A Blitz Regular at the Top

Aleksandr Razmyslov, known online as aleks45, is a FIDE International Master who treats the live chess lobby like a second home. His preferred time control is Blitz, and his history is a long love letter to the fast clock. From a modest 1332 start in 2016 to a headline peak at 2850 (2026-08-26), his profile is one long story of getting the pieces out quickly and asking questions later. For a visual tour, check

Openings: A Buffet and a Mood

Aleksandr does not like to be predictable, unless the line is one that suits him. His Blitz log shows deep affection for the Döry Defense, the Sicilian Defense, and the Scandinavian Defense. He also finds time for the Poisoned Pawn Variation, which usually means a lot of drama and a low chance of a quiet draw. His opening stats are best viewed with a snack and a sense of adventure, so

The Streak Life

  • He has a winning streak of 17 and a losing streak of 15, so he gets both sides of the coin.
  • His comeback rate is around 86 percent, meaning losing one piece only makes him more dangerous.
  • His games tend to run long and serious, with endgames showing up very often.
  • His favorite time to play is midnight, which makes complete sense if the evening is a chess club.

Rivals and Old Friends

Across the years no name appears more often than Davit_Tiraturyan. The scoreboard leans toward davit, but Aleksandr keeps returning for more, which says a lot about his love for a tough fight. He also trades punches with dexter_88, toyota_land_cruiser, and plenty of other regulars. If you meet aleks45 in the Blitz pool, make sure the clock is charged and the mind is ready. He will always play.
