Rating and Achievements

Playing Style
With an average game length of about 74 moves, Zarubitski is clearly no rush artist—he prefers the slow and steady grind, typical of a strategist who loves to untangle complex middlegames and execute precise endgame technique (which occurs in nearly 75% of his games). White or black, his win rates are impressively balanced, hovering above 52%.
Tactical Wizardry & Psychology
His tactical resilience is legendary: an 85% comeback rate after setbacks and an astonishing 94% success rate after losing pieces speak volumes of his fighting spirit. Yet, even the best can feel the mental heat—his tilt factor is a modest 8%, meaning he'll likely grumble quietly but bounce back fast.
Opponent Highlights
Zarubitski has faced some tough rivals and a fair share of fans, including 15 duels against “simon_1986” with a balanced win rate near 53%. Against some notorious foes, his record is flawless—while others still manage to crack his armor.
Fun Fact
With a longest winning streak of 15 games and a habit of quick early resignations (only about 7.5% of the time), Zarubitski is the guy who knows when to fight and when to grab a coffee before the next battle.
In short, Вячеслав Зарубицкий is a player who blends sharp tactics, strategic patience, and a dash of personality that keeps opponents guessing - and chess spectators entertained.
