Alexey Alexeev: The Strategic Craftsman of the 64 Squares
Meet Alexey Alexeev, known in the chess world by the username Alekseyviktorovich — an International Master with a flair for ingenious tactics and a reputation that precedes him on both digital and classical boards.
Since first stepping onto the competitive chess scene, Alexey’s journey has been anything but dull. From humble beginnings with a daily rating hovering around the 1400s in mid-2019, he quickly blazed through the ranks with his iron will, hitting an impressive peak daily rating of 2369 in January 2021. Not one to shy away from speed, his blitz chess prowess culminated in a jaw-dropping peak rating of 2455 as recently as May 2024.
Alexey’s style blends tactical ferocity with a surgical endgame approach, boasting an endgame frequency over 65% — truly the sign of a player who’s comfortable closing deals no matter how complex the battlefield.
His battles on the board are epic sagas — with a longest winning streak of 54 games that could have fueled a small nation’s chess fever, and a careful psychological masterclass indicated by a tilt factor of just 21, proving that Alexey keeps his cool even when the pawns turn into wildcards.
The opening known only cryptically as “Top Secret” is his trusted weapon — an enigmatic choice that’s brought him outstanding results with an impressive 79% win rate in daily games. On the flip side, his experimental dalliance with the Sicilian Defense Smith-Morra Gambit Accepted has been a humbling chapter, with a win rate challenging stubborn opponents at a modest 10%. As any great strategist knows, even the best sometimes get schooled by the claws of the unexpected.
When does Alexey bring his A-game? The wee hours of the morning, apparently! His best time to play is around 4 AM, when the world sleeps and his brain fires its most dazzling combinations, with win rates soaring above 90% in those early hours.
Noteworthy Moments:
- A recent victory in May 2025 saw him triumph over CamposJE in the Sicilian Defense Smith-Morra Gambit, ending a tense bout on time — patience and precision at their finest.
- Alexey’s resilience shines with a comeback rate over 73%, proving he often makes the impossible possible.
Whether it’s a rapid blitz thrash or a deep daily battle, Alexey Alexeev embodies the spirit of chessmanship — relentless, inventive, and surprisingly good at not flipping the board when things don’t go his way.
Keep an eye on this International Master — because he’s not just playing chess, he’s writing his own legend, one move at a time.
