Okara Andrey - International Master
Known in the chess world by the handle Langusto, Okara Andrey is a formidable International Master who has battled through the ranks with a mix of tactical brilliance and steadfast perseverance. Their FIDE title speaks to a high level of dedication, yet their fascinating stats reveal an almost human side: a rollercoaster of highs, lows, and plenty of wins to brag about.
Rise and Ratings
Okara's blitz rating peaked at a staggering 2760 in February 2025, a rating that would make even some grandmasters sweat. Their bullet rating isn't too shabby either, scaling up to 2776 just days later. Rapid play saw its own highlights, with a peak rating of 2275 in late 2020. Whether lightning-fast or reasonably paced, Langusto has proven to be a persistent competitor on all fronts.
Playing Style & Personality
With white pieces, Okara has a winning edge of almost 56%, and even with black, they manage to hold their own quite admirably. Known for an early resignation rate of about 16%, Langusto is not one to throw in the towel easily, but when they do, it's probably a strategic retreat rather than defeatism. Their knack for thrilling comebacks shines through a 77.64% comeback rate, meaning that losing a piece doesn’t necessarily spell doom at their board.
Andrey’s psychological flair is notable too — a tilt factor of 19 means they occasionally get frustrated, but who doesn’t when a pawn sneaks past defenses? Their best time to play? Midnight — clearly a night owl ready to checkmate dreams.

Recent Battles
Langusto's latest victories include a savage checkmate against "FaouziB" with the English Opening and a resignation win against "lakas2023" after a tough fight in the Sicilian Defense, Kramnik Variation. The games show a player comfortable in complex middlegame positions, maneuvering with patience and precision. Losses happen, but they mostly come from very high-rated opponents and often due to time pressure rather than skill lapses.
Fun Fact
If chess were a video game, Okara Andrey would be that player who carefully plans, adapts like a chameleon, and still remembers to have fun wrecking opponents’ plans at 3 AM. They prove that serious titles and a playful spirit can coexist beautifully on the 64 squares.
