Dario Alivodic - Candidate Master Extraordinaire

Known in the digital chess arena as AbsoluteCinema420, Dario Alivodic is not your average player. Sporting the prestigious title of Candidate Master bestowed by FIDE, Dario has carved a niche in the blitz and bullet chess world with a flair that blends tactical genius, psychological resilience, and just a pinch of cheeky bravado.

Rising Through the Ranks

Starting from modest beginnings hovering around the 1900s in bullet chess, Dario has soared to the dizzying heights of a 2579 bullet rating in early 2021—probably while sipping coffee and plotting several moves ahead. His blitz rating peaked close behind at 2573 in late 2022, proving that fast-paced play is clearly his playground. If chess were a rollercoaster, this ride certainly has thrilling peaks.

Playing Style: The Art of War and Wit

With an impressive comeback rate of over 81%, Dario thrives when the odds are stacked against him — a true chess phoenix rising from the ashes of lost pieces. His games often cradle long and suspenseful endgames, averaging more than 70 moves per win, which suggests he enjoys a drawn-out battle of wits, patience, and creativity. Don’t be fooled by his occasional losses; his tilt factor is relatively low, showing cool nerves even when the heat is on.

Opening Choices: A Dash of Variety

Dario’s opening repertoire is as diverse as a well-stocked chess buffet:

  • King’s Indian Defense - Kramer Variation: Nearly 350 games with a respectable near 50% win rate in bullet - ready to counterattack with style and speed.
  • French Defense Exchange Variation: Delivering solid but sneaky play, especially shining in rapid where his win rate creeps up near 90%.
  • Sicilian Defense Wing Gambit: Another favorite that mixes aggression and surprise, making opponents sweat in fast time controls.
  • And many more, including the Queen's Gambit and Slav Defense variations — ensuring opponents never quite know what’s coming next.

Psychological Edge & Fun Facts

Dario’s best time to strike is around 6 PM, the golden hour when his pieces seem to dance with extra vigor. His bullet blitzes are a battlefield where he often resigns early only about 2.3% of the time — showing he fights for every last point like a warrior in a digital warzone.

His current statistics show a rollercoaster of streaks — including both a jaw-dropping 17-game winning streak and, yes, an equally harrowing 17-game loss streak. But hey, every Candidate Master has their ups and downs; Dario handles them with grace... and a good meme or two.

Recent Battles

In his latest triumphant clash, Dario, playing as AbsoluteCinema420, beautifully executed the French Defense Exchange Variation to claim a resignation victory. The opponent probably blinked once too many under the pressure of Dario’s precise threats.

Not every battle ends in glory, however. His most recent loss came by way of time against quillharper — proving that even the best can sometimes forget to move their clock hand! It’s all part of the grand chess adventure.

In a Nutshell

Dario Alivodic is a gritty, creative, and daring chess enthusiast whose tactical awareness and resilience make him a formidable contender on online platforms. Whether blitzing through bullet or strategizing in rapid, he’s someone whose games are never dull — full of twists, turns, and the occasional wonderful checkmate.

One thing's for sure: when you face AbsoluteCinema420, expect a high-energy, cinematic chess experience. Buckle up and enjoy the show!

Overview of your recent bullet play

You asked for feedback on your bullet performance. Your recent rating changes show a short-term dip, but your longer-term trends remain positive. Your openings data suggests you perform well in some solid, repeatable lines, especially the King’s Indian Defense variations and certain Queen’s Gambit structures. In bullet, time pressure and quick decision making are often the biggest factors. The goal is to maintain accuracy under pressure and convert your advantages more consistently in the last few moves before time runs out.

What you’re doing well

  • Openings strength: you have reliable performance in solid, time-tested lines (for example, King’s Indian Defense: Accelerated Averbakh Variation and QGD-related lines). This gives you a stable foundation in fast games.
  • Long-term improvement: the overall trend over 12 months is positive, indicating you are building a solid base and gradually improving your play, even when shorter-term results wobble.
  • Initiative when it’s available: you tend to press and keep the initiative in middlegames when your pieces are actively placed, which helps you convert chances into wins in bullet.

Key areas to improve for bullet

  • Time management under pressure: develop a quick, repeatable decision process. For the first 10 moves, rely on a simple plan (develop pieces, king safety, and constant piece activity) and avoid long tactical calculations that aren’t forcing.
  • Blunder avoidance in tight positions: bullets reward fast but accurate moves. After each game, note a single recurring blunder (for example, hanging a piece, back-rank issues, or overreaching with a tactical shot) and prepare a quick counter-responses checklist.
  • Endgame readiness: practice common king-and-pawn endings and rook endings so you can safely simplify when ahead or when the position simplifies into a win with fewer pieces on the board.
  • Opening prioritization: lean into 1-2 openings with higher win rates in your data (for example, King’s Indian Defense: Accelerated Averbakh Variation and QGD: 3.Nc3 Bb4) so you waste less time deciding and can play more precisely in the early moves.
  • Post-game quick review: spend 5 minutes after each bullet session to annotate one critical moment and note how you would handle it differently next time.

Suggested practice plan for the next 2 weeks

  • Opening focus: choose two high-performing lines (e.g., King’s Indian Defense: Accelerated Averbakh Variation and QGD: 3.Nc3 Bb4) and study their main plans, typical ideas, and common traps. Do 2 short study sessions per week dedicated to these lines.
  • Daily puzzles: 5–10 minutes of tactical puzzles to improve pattern recognition and fast calculation under time pressure.
  • Bullet practice: aim for 4–6 short 1+0 sessions weekly. Use a consistent two-stage approach per move: quick developmental plan, then a fast safety check. After each session, jot down one concrete improvement.
  • Post-game review: after each session, spend 5 minutes to identify one critical moment and write down an alternative plan you could have used.

Next steps and customization
