Глеб Головченко - FIDE Master & Blitz Aficionado
Meet Глеб Головченко, known in the online blitz arenas as DJGolko, a FIDE Master who blends strategy, speed, and a sprinkle of psychological warfare on the chessboard. Since first lighting up the digital chessboards in 2016, Глеб has dazzled with a peak blitz rating soaring close to 2650, proving that rapid-fire tactical thinking is his forte.
Although many might mistake him for a mere mortal, his comeback rate of over 91% and a perfect win rate after losing a piece showcase a player who refuses to be taken down gently. Whether behind white or black pieces, his win rates hover around 50%, but beware: his longest winning streak spans a staggering 16 consecutive games.
Dubbed the “Top Secret Opening Specialist” in blitz chess, Глеб has played over 9,700 blitz games with an impressive 50%+ win rate, leading opponents into labyrinths of strategy they rarely escape. His bullet and rapid performances echo his adaptability — scoring over 60% in bullet battles while keeping rapid games solid and steady.
When not busy coaching the ghost of Fischer or hunting down pieces faster than a caffeine-fueled squirrel, Глеб shows a surprising fondness for psychology. His tilt factor is quite low at 11, a testament to Zen-like focus under fire — rare in the fever-pitched blitz world.
If you find yourself facing DJGolko late in the evening (notoriously his strongest hours), prepare for a chess battle that averages nearly 80 moves per game — a marathoner, not a sprinter. His patience in the endgame (engaged in over 80% of his contests) speaks volumes about his tactical endurance and love for grinding down opponents.
Chess may be a game of kings and queens, but for Глеб Головченко, it’s also about passion, persistence, and the occasional cheeky mental trap. Whether you’re facing him online or just marveling from afar, DJGolko is undoubtedly a master of the 64 squares and a true chess warrior for the modern age.
