Evgeny Romanov GM

Evgeny Romanov - Chess Grandmaster Extraordinaire

Meet Evgeny Romanov, a Grandmaster who has been quietly storming the chessboards of the world with a blend of razor-sharp tactics and a seemingly endless reserve of patience. Awarded the illustrious Grandmaster title by FIDE, Evgeny is anything but your average chess player—he’s a strategist with the endurance to match, often averaging well over 70 moves in his victories, which suggests he's not just here for quick checkmates but for epic, marathon games that test the very limits of human concentration.

Rating Rollercoaster

Starting from a Blitz rating of a humble 1800 in early 2020, Evgeny quickly rocketed to a blazing peak of 2753 by April of the same year—talk about leveling up! His Rapid rating peaked at a solid 2619 back in 2018. With over 145 wins in Blitz games alone and a strong winning percentage hovering around 57% when playing White, Evgeny clearly knows how to turn the tables in his favor. His endgame skills shine brightly with an impressive 88.89% endgame frequency, meaning once Evgeny locks eyes on the finish line, he's ready to sprint—or should we say, castle, check, and mate.

The Style & Strategy

Evgeny plays chess like a seasoned novelist writes a thriller—carefully building tension and suspense, rarely resigning early (a big thumbs-up from fans everywhere), and with a knack for comebacks that has him winning a staggering 84.6% of his games after being behind on material. When he loses a piece, there’s still a more than 50% chance he’ll steal the game or at least drag the opponent into a tough fight. His preferred times to show his tactical magic? Around noon, when his win rate hits a perfect 100%—clearly Evgeny is a champion of brunch chess.

Notable Opponents & Records

Evgeny’s chess adventures have seen him cross swords most with torfredrikkaasen, tallying 45 battles that resulted in a respectable 55.56% win rate. He doesn’t shy away from challenges, though some opponents like flawless_fighter have proven tougher, holding Evgeny to a 40% win rate. Curiously, a handful of players never manage a victory against him, including saraswathii, kot60, and gmaka, all falling prey to his relentless precision.

Memorable Matches

Just recently, on December 25, 2022, Evgeny demonstrated his time management wizardry by winning on time in a Caro-Kann Defense - Accelerated Panov Attack, showcasing his solid opening knowledge and clinical endgame prowess. His wins are oftentimes a story of patient build-up punctuated by timely tactical blows.
