Vadim Vdovin - The FIDE Master of Blitz

Vadim Vdovin, also known in the chess circles as 13MiRacLe, is a formidable FIDE Master whose lightning-fast mind lights up the blitz battlefield. Since 2016, Vadim has been tearing through opponents with a peak blitz rating soaring as high as 2833 — no small feat in the intense world of rapid and bullet chess!

What makes Vadim truly special is not just the high rating but the endurance and passion. Over 9,000 blitz games played, with more wins than losses, and an unwavering commitment to the "Top Secret" opening strategy that keeps his rivals guessing. And his win streak? A jaw-dropping 12 consecutive victories once upon a time – a testament to his focus and skill.

Though his rapid and bullet ratings may not match his mastery in blitz, Vadim still packs a powerful punch in these time controls too. His bullet rating peaked at an impressive 2757, proving he's no stranger to speed chess.

Beyond the numbers, Vadim has a comeback rate of 88.21%, and wins 100% of the time after losing a piece. So, if you think you’ve outplayed him, think again — he’s got tricks up his sleeve and nerves of steel to turn the tide.

A lover of long, strategic endgames (82.18% endgame frequency), Vadim patiently grinds out wins with an average game length of nearly 80 moves when victorious — a marathoner among sprinters in the chess world.

Off the board, some say Vadim’s tilt factor (just 14) hints at a calm persona who keeps his cool even when the chips are down — a rare gem in competitive chess.

Whether blasting through the blitz format or playing a sloooow and steady endgame, Vadim Vdovin’s presence is a reminder that chess isn’t just a game — it’s an art form, a battle of wits, and sometimes, a little bit of magic.
