Oleg Tkachakov (aka vjekpleh)
Meet Oleg Tkachakov, an indomitable chess warrior whose journey from humble beginnings to rapid and blitz master is nothing short of inspiring—with a sprinkle of tactical brilliance and a dash of stubborn resilience.
Rating Odyssey
Since 2013, Oleg's rapid rating rocketed from a modest 1413 to a blistering peak over 2300 by 2023, proving that slow and steady really does win the rapid race. Blitz is his true playground, boasting a beastly peak rating of nearly 2300 and over 12,000 wins. Bullet? Eh, he dabbled but prefers to savor his victories without the rush.
Playing Style & Philosophy
Known for an impressive comeback rate of nearly 89%, Oleg never truly loses hope—even when a piece goes missing (and guess what? He wins 100% of those games!). His games tend to be marathons, averaging 73 moves to victory, which means he enjoys the deep, strategic dance rather than quick tactical skirmishes. When he wins with White, he edges out with a 45.67% win rate, while playing Black demands a bit more grit with 41.41%.
He’s a fan of endings, frequently weaving his way to riveting endgames almost 72% of the time. Early resignation? Barely a blip at 1.13%, because giving up isn’t really in his vocabulary.
Social Chess Life
Oleg probably knows you—or at least your chess username. His most played opponents include computer3-hard (861 battles!), malimukes, and asha51. Despite fierce battles, Oleg sports a playful streak, securing a win rate sprinkled with highs and lows. Against some, he’s undefeated; against others, a humbling reminder that even grandmasters have off-days.
Recent Triumphs & Trials
In his latest live chess escapade on April 28, 2025, Oleg executed a dazzling checkmate with the Black pieces against k-space64, demonstrating his English Opening mastery and tactical elegance. But hey, even legends face setbacks—as seen on May 8, 2025, when he took the defeat against Jovica-Nikolovski by checkmate. Such is the life of a chess gladiator: wins savored, losses studied.
