Evgeny Bareev GM

Evgeny Bareev – Grandmaster Extraordinaire

Meet Evgeny Bareev, a chess Grandmaster whose brain moves faster than rooks on an open file. With an impressive rapid rating peaking at 2849 in December 2024, Evgeny is not just a player, but a formidable force on the 64 squares.

Career Highlights & Playing Style

Evgeny earned the prestigious Grandmaster title from FIDE and dazzles with a tactical awareness that could make knights dance to his tune. Known for a 69.39% win rate with White and even a solid 67.31% with Black, his relentless endgame skills shine through — appearing in over 84% of his games.

His average battle length hovers around 74 moves per win, proving Evgeny prefers a drawn-out intellectual duel rather than a quick checkmate flash. And if you catch him after losing a piece? Don’t panic — his comeback rate is nearly 90%, showing true grit and determination.

Blitz & Rapid Magic

In blitz, Bareev’s peak rating hit 2531, and his overall blitz record boasts 43 wins against 19 losses — impressive when you consider the lightning pace. But rapid seems to be his playground, where he dominates with nearly 84% win rate and an almost flawless record in “Top Secret” openings.

The Man Behind the Moves

Evgeny’s playing day is practically a science: afternoons at 15:00 seem to be peak brainpower hours with a perfect win rate on Fridays and Thursdays. His psychological resilience is notable – a tilt factor of just 4 means he rarely lets a tough loss rattle him.

Recent Adventures on the Board

His latest victory was a swift resignation win on December 9, 2024, against steepblue, showcasing his mastery of the French Defense and strategic finesse. Of course, even a Grandmaster encounters setbacks, with a few recent close losses reminding us all that chess is a never-ending journey of learning.

Fun Fact

With a longest winning streak of 26 games, Evgeny could probably teach a thing or two about keeping calm and checkmating on. You might say, when Evgeny is “in the zone,” opponents might as well resign early... which some frequently do.

Whether blitz or rapid, Evgeny Bareev, aka pompey831, proves that brains, stamina, and a touch of chess magic make for an unstoppable champion.
