عبدالله السليمي: The Chess Streamer Extraordinaire
Meet عبدالله السليمي, also known in the chess world as vacwep—a streamer whose passion for chess matches his love for witty banter and tactical fireworks. Starting his online blitz battles around 2013 with a modest rating under 800, عبدالله quickly turned from a cautious pawn pusher into a feared grandmaster-in-the-making, climbing up to a peak blitz rating of 2338 in 2021.
Career Highlights & Playing Style
With tens of thousands of games played in blitz alone (over 27,000!), عبدالله proves that stamina and consistency can go a long way—winning more games than he loses with a tenacious spirit and a comeback rate nearing 84%. His games often conclude with endgames that show real bone-crushing finesse, averaging about 59 moves to victory, though he’s known to keep his opponents guessing till around move 67 in losses.
His opening repertoire is beautifully eclectic, wielding the Scandinavian Defense, Petrovs Defense, and the French Defense like a grandmaster chef masterfully tossing ingredients into a winning recipe. And if you catch his rapid morning games, expect a dash of the mysterious Top Secret opening — trust us, it’s as enigmatic as his stream chat banter.
Stream and Personality
Off the board and on stream, عبدالله brings his strategic mind and quick wit to life, entertaining fans around the world. His tilt factor sits at a humble 15, which basically means he rarely rages—unless someone steals his coffee during a long endgame. Night owls rejoice: his best time to play (and maybe troll opponents) is around 11 PM. Beware, this is when his pieces start dancing and the combos hit hardest.
Recent Action
Just recently, on June 1, 2025, عبدالله clinched a victory with a classy finishing touch in a Scandinavian Defense battle, forcing his opponent to resign after a brilliant bolt of Bishop sacrifice. Classic vacwep style: sharp, elegant, and leaving you wondering if you just witnessed a chess magician at work.
Legacy
Whether grinding rapid games or speed-blitzing bullet bullet tournaments, عبدالله السليمي’s chess journey is as inspiring as it is entertaining. He’s not just a player; he’s a storyteller, a tactician, a streamer who proves that chess can be serious fun—and yes, occasionally making you laugh while leaving you checkmated.
