Dejan Omorjan - FIDE Master Extraordinaire
Meet Dejan Omorjan, known in the chess universe as bere_acqua, a proud bearer of the FIDE Master title. Dejan's passion for conquering 64 squares is matched only by their knack for stirring up excitement on the battlefield—be it blitz, bullet, or rapid games.
From a humble blitz rating of 1573 in early 2020, Dejan rocketed upwards, smashing personal bests and clocking an astonishing peak blitz rating of 2678 by August 2023. But wait, there's more—bullet chess? How about a jaw-dropping peak rating of 2807 achieved in the same month, proving they have the lightning-fast reflexes and tactical genius necessary to outwit opponents in mere seconds. Rapid chess fans also rejoice, with a solid peak of 2506 in late 2024.
With a career full of thrilling comebacks (a whopping 84.6% comeback rate) and a chess psyche rock-solid enough to resist tilt (a tilt factor of only 11), Dejan is not your everyday player. They don't just survive losing pieces—they turn it into a weapon, winning over 43% of those difficult scenarios. Talk about resilience!
The Style
Dejan is a marathoner of the mind, preferring fights that unfold over many moves, averaging over 81 moves per win and staying deep into the endgame arena for 83.7% of games. Sometimes they resign early (only about 0.4% of all games) — a humble bow before the storm of brilliant ideas to come next game.
Opening Mastery
Dejan’s secret weapon? The mysterious "Top Secret" opening, surprisingly tested in thousands of games with a respectable win rate hovering around 44-45%. In the occasional foray into classical openings, their performance shines: perfect 100% win record in lines like the English Opening - Anglo Indian Queens Knight Variation and Ruy Lopez Cozio Defense. Opponents beware!
Memorable Moments
One of Dejan's recent masterpieces was a quiet, precise victory in a daily game where they harnessed the English Opening's Four Knights Kingside Fianchetto Line to defeat radaje via resignation in May 2025. The game was a showcase of strategic depth and positional understanding wrapped in a calm yet assertive battle.
