Meet Alexey Martynenko
Alexey "martylex" Martynenko is a Blitz player through and through. Give him a clock, a few seconds of increment, and a chance to play 1.g3, and he is home. His rapid games are so rare they look like an accidental click, but his Blitz career tells a much bigger story. With a peak Blitz rating of 2806 (2026-07-24), he has reached a level where opponents start checking whether they are really playing a human.
Playing Style and Openings
Martylex is a creature of habit. As White he opens almost religiously with 1.g3, feeding into a King's Indian Attack setup that he clearly trusts in hundreds of battles. As Black he is just as loyal to the Caro-Kann Defense, a solid defensive wall that suits his patient, endgame-heavy method. And when he wants to remind the world that chess is fun, he reaches for the Amar Gambit, a wonderfully weird opening that produces both brilliancies and beautiful train wrecks.
