Vjekosav Nemec is a Candidate Master from Croatia rated 2194.
Vjekoslav may not be an International Master nor a Grandmaster... but don't sleep on him because, on a good day, he's capable of demolishing players much higher rated than him. (He came THIS close to beating a 2700-plus grandmaster and 7-time Russian Champion in a publicized online match.)
But what's even more impressive is that, he made these impressive strides in chess while working as a Chessable publishing manager... answering chess-related questions on the internet... and blogging about the things he loves.
After a two-year stint working at Chessable, he is now a dedicated course publisher and trainer.
The young Vjekoslav played chess with his cousin, Vinko, and uncle, Hrvoje, whom he credits as the two people who kept his interest in the game alive. He didn't play competitive chess until August 2012, just before his 20th birthday...
But Vjekoslav has been hooked since!
When he's not playing chess, Vjekoslav enjoys playing table tennis, making bad puns, and following stand-up comedy. He also contributes regularly to the Q&A website, Quora, where he became a Top Writer for 2018.
It's this well-roundedness that made Vjekoslav such an effective author. Check out his course today, The Uncompromising Modern Defense... and come out blazing against just about anything White can play!
