Slavisa Marinkovic: The International Master with a Blitz Touch

Slavisa Marinkovic, known in chess circles (and online battlegrounds) as Bivsisahista67, is no novice at the 64 squares. Holding the prestigious title of International Master awarded by FIDE, Slavisa combines serious skill with a dash of blitzkrieg flair.

Starting from a modest blitz rating of 1311 in 2018 (because hey, everyone has to start somewhere), Slavisa explosively climbed the ranks to reach a blazing peak of 2508 in 2020. A true speed demon, they’ve played nearly 4,000 blitz games with a win rate hovering at a solid 58%. It’s said that Slavisa’s fingers move faster than their opponents can blink – or maybe it’s just the mouse.

Not just a buff in fast play, Slavisa also shows respect for the slower-paced formats. Their daily chess rating has crept up to over 2200, boasting a remarkable undefeated streak of spotless draws or wins (well, mostly wins). Rapid games? Slavisa has those covered too, with steady improvement and a max rating hovering beyond 2,000.

Ever the strategist, Slavisa seems to have cracked the code on resilience: an extraordinary 87.5% comeback rate proves that giving up isn’t in their nature. They've also somehow managed a perfect 100% win rate right after losing a piece – because, why not?

When it comes to openings, Slavisa plays it like a secret agent - quite literally, as their preferred opening is simply “Top Secret”. Their record of nearly 2,400 blitz games under this mysterious strategy yields a tidy 58% win rate. Opponents beware: what you don’t know can and will hurt you.

Off the board, Slavisa might just be a regular human, but on the board they channel a blend of patience and firepower. With an average game lasting over 70 moves, they’re in it for the marathon, not just quick sprints. A master of the endgame, about 77% of their games venture into the deeper strategic waters where true champions emerge.

Slavisa’s psychological resilience is equally impressive, managing a low tilt factor of 6 and clearly thriving in competitive rated play with a nearly 58% better win rate than in casual games. And if you’re wondering when to challenge them, Saturday brings the best odds – Slavisa boasts an over 62% winning record on that day!

From epic comeback artist to a blitz virtuoso, Slavisa Marinkovic is the kind of chess player who proves that with enough grit, speed, and a secret opening up one’s sleeve, the game is never truly over until the king falls.
