Oleg Romanishin is one of the most popular and richest Chess Player who was born on January 10, 1952 in Lviv, Ukraine. In the field of chess opening theory, he has earned a reputation for his use of unusual, offbeat, and at times abandoned methods. Through a lot of research and precise preparation can he make use of these openings to evade the accepted theories and take on the whole point. An example can be found in 4.g3 in the Nimzo- Indian Defense. It was previously known as a variation in the 1930s, but renewed in the 1970s by Romanishin during the 70s this variation is now named after him in the opening manuals. The recently popular variations, which stem from the initial Be7 from the French Defence, were also created by Romanishin (and Australian postal IM John Kellner) in the 1970s, and were further refined by people like Morozevich as well as Short who have more recently joined the times.

In the next year, he scored amazing results during his participation in the USSR Championship, sharing second spot along with Boris Gulko, Mikhail Tal and Rafael Vaganian, after Tigran Petrosian. In 1976 the year of his death, the Grandmaster title was confirmed.

Nowadays less active as a tournament player, Romanishin has nevertheless won smaller events on the grandmaster circuit, such as Solin-Split 2004 and Hotel Petra (Rome) 2005.

Second-place places of Tilburg 1979 (after Karpov) and Dortmund 1982 (after Hort) were also significant milestones in his career and so was his third consecutive equal performance at Sochi in 1982.
