Oleg Vastrukhin - International Master Extraordinaire

Known in the chess realms as demon64fields, Oleg Vastrukhin is no ordinary player. An International Master by title and a gladiator on the 64 squares, Oleg has blitzed through thousands of games with a ferocity and finesse that could intimidate even the grandmasters of legend.

Rating Rollercoaster & Peak Performance

Oleg's blitz rating dances at dizzying heights, reaching an astonishing peak of 3034 in May 2025—yes, that's right, well above the mythical 3000 mark that many chase but few catch. Not to be outdone, his bullet rating also surged to a respectable 2695, proving he's quick on the clock and swift on the board.

Playing Style: Strategy Meets Endurance

Oleg combines patience with precision. Boasting a remarkable 90.7% endgame frequency, he’s like a chess marathoner who never tires. His average game clocks in at roughly 88 moves when winning, and about 92 moves when losing—clearly, he believes in a proper fight whether he’s ahead or behind.

With a White win rate of nearly 48% and a solid 43% success rate with Black pieces, he’s equally comfortable controlling the game from any side. Oh, and his knack for comebacks? Nearly 88.5%! If he loses a piece, watch out—his chances of winning afterwards still hover above 43%.

Favorite Arsenal & Secret Weapons

Oleg's opening repertoire reads like a fantasy novel. His top-opening, dubbed "Top Secret", comes with a healthy 46% win rate in over 1500 games—maybe it’s top secret because no one else knows how to crack it! Among known loves are the King's Indian Attack (Yugoslav Variation) boasting a nifty 56% win rate, and the English Opening (Symmetrical Variation) with an impressive 60% success. In bullet, Oleg turns the heat up with a blazing 71% win rate in his mysterious "Top Secret" line.

Psychological Edge & Quirky Stats

Despite the fierce battles, Oleg's tilt factor is a modest 12—meaning he probably gets more frustrated when his coffee spills than on the board. His best time to play? Bright and early at 9 AM, where his tactical mind is sharpest.

Recent Adventures on the Board

One recent dazzling win saw Oleg checkmate his opponent with a beautifully crafted Queen sacrifice in the King's Indian Attack Yugoslav Variation, wrapping up in a flutter of moves that would make Bobby Fischer proud. But even the best lose sometimes—in a recent thriller, Oleg ran out of time trying to keep up with a relentless opponent in the Queen's Indian Defense, reminding us all that even geniuses need to watch the clock.

Rivalries & Friends

Oleg has tangled most frequently with players like rud_makarian (68 battles), igorkovalenko, and snowlord. With a mixed bag of results, these rivalries hint at epic narratives unfolding silently across the chessboards of the internet.

Final Thoughts

Oleg Vastrukhin embodies the spirit of chess: thrilling, strategic, sometimes merciless, and always entertaining. Whether storming through a bullet game or grinding out a marathon blitz, he keeps fans, foes, and chess enthusiasts on the edge of their seats. And one thing's for sure—watching demon64fields play is never dull.
