Ievgen Odnorozhenko: The Chess Virtuoso
Meet Ievgen Odnorozhenko, also known in the chess world as Zhekoylas, an agent of the 64 squares who holds the prestigious title of International Master bestowed by FIDE. A tactical wizard and resilient strategist, Ievgen has dazzled opponents across all time controls, from the frantic pace of bullet to the thoughtful intricacies of rapid and classical daily chess.
Starting with humble Daily ratings around 1330, Ievgen's journey has been a meteoric climb, peaking at over 2200 in daily chess by 2019. Blitz is where the fire truly burns, with a sizzling max rating of 2558 and thousands of games—over 6000 wins!—under their belt. The bullet battles have been fierce and lightning-fast, reaching a personal best near 2300 points.
Ievgen's playstyle is a cocktail of patience and aggression: a fan of endgames, averaging nearly 60 moves per victorious game, proving that even when the clock’s ticking, there’s room for careful calculation. Their comeback rate hovers impressively near 75%, and whenever a piece is lost, their win rate spikes to a perfect 100%. Today’s lesson: Never count Ievgen out — even if you snag a pawn early, the game is far from over.
While most grandmasters boast of crushing opponents psychologically, Ievgen keeps it real with a tilt factor of 7—just enough to show passion without losing grip. And despite their dominance in rated games, casual matches still pose some mystery, reminding us all that even masters can chuckle at a surprise blunder now and then.
Opponents beware: Ievgen has an uncanny knack for streaks, including a jaw-dropping 102-game winning streak at some point—chess history’s version of “on fire.” Their favorite opening? Well, that’s a secret, classified as "Top Secret" in the stats, but their winning percentages with it (over 86% in blitz!) would make any spy jealous.
When asked about their perfect blitz habit, Ievgen might reply, "I just stare at the pieces until they melt." Until then, the chessboard remains an arena where Ievgen Odnorozhenko blends art, science, and a touch of magic.
