Omid Malek, National Master of Blitz Chess
Omid Malek, known online as omeed_87, is a National Master whose chess career is defined by endurance, tactical persistence, and a remarkable willingness to play just one more blitz game. With more than 17,000 recorded blitz games, Omid has made the fast time control feel less like a sprint and more like a very long chess-themed marathon.
A Blitz Specialist With Serious Staying Power
Blitz is clearly Omid’s natural habitat. His peak blitz performance reached 2664 in 2026, following years of steady competition dating back to 2013. His record includes a longest winning streak of 22 games, while his games average roughly 90 moves overall, proving that even with the clock running, Omid is not in a hurry to leave the board.
His playing profile is especially notable for comebacks. After losing a piece, Omid still recorded a 42.08% win rate, and his comeback rate stands at an extraordinary 91.3%. In other words, taking his material is not necessarily the same as taking his chances.
Opening Repertoire and Playing Style
Omid’s repertoire features the Amazon Attack: Siberian Attack, one of his most frequently played choices, as well as the French Defense, which appears often in his games with Black. He also regularly explores the Dutch Defense, Australian Defense, and a variety of sharp gambit positions.
As White, Omid frequently begins with d4 and favors positions that can grow into complex middlegames. His statistics suggest a resilient, combative style: he reaches endgames in more than 90% of analyzed games and averages over 80 moves in victories. The board may be on fire, but Omid apparently prefers to inspect every single ember.
Competitive Character
Omid’s long-term record shows a player who keeps returning to the board, adjusts after setbacks, and remains dangerous deep into the game. His strongest performances have come in rapid chess as well, where his results have been particularly efficient despite a much smaller sample size.
With the National Master title beside his name and thousands of hard-fought games behind him, Omid Malek represents the classic online chess survivor: technically capable, tactically stubborn, and apparently unconvinced that a game should end merely because everyone else has gone to bed.
