Radmila Kovacevic: The Apocalypse That Grinds
Radmila Kovacevic, better known to online opponents as APOKALIPSA13, is a Woman FIDE Master with a simple philosophy: if you are going to play Blitz, play a lot of it. Her preferred time control is clearly Blitz, and her record shows over 42,000 rated Blitz games. This is a player who has turned the fast time control into a personal marathon.
A Repertoire That Ignores the Mainstream
Few titled players would build a Black repertoire around the Elephant Gambit, but Radmila has played it almost 6,000 times and still wins more often than she loses. As White she happily enters the Bird Opening with the Dutch Variation, the Sicilian Defense: Alapin Variation, and the Scotch Game. She also loves the Scandinavian Defense and the Center Game. The message is clear: she wants unbalanced, attacking chess from move one.
A Blitz Career in Numbers
Radmila's Blitz rating peaked at 2495 (2026-06-29), and her path there was anything but smooth.
Her cumulative Blitz ledger reads 21,433 wins, 19,095 losses, and 1,961 draws. She has rattled off 18 wins in a row at her best, and endured a 20 game losing streak at her worst. Her tilt factor is a blunt 20, but so is her stubbornness.
Comebacks and Rivalries
Her comeback rate sits near 90 percent, and her one sided loss rate is around 1 percent. Even after losing a piece, she still wins almost half of her games. Her fiercest rivalry is with Ariel Crawford, who has faced her 114 times. Radmila has 52 wins, acrawford28 has 58, and only 4 draws. Against Izmail she has the upper hand, winning 61 of their 99 meetings.
The Grind Behind the Games
Radmila reaches the endgame in roughly 77 percent of her Blitz games and averages about 63 moves per win. She plays her best chess around 9am and saves her Sunday energy, winning nearly 53 percent of Sunday games. The username may promise an apocalypse, but the playstyle is part terminator, part marathon runner. She outlasts opponents, drags them into complicated endings, and rarely lets a game become a one sided disaster.
