Petar Gojković (aka Fantom64) – International Master Extraordinaire
Petar Gojković is not your ordinary chess player. Holding the prestigious title of International Master from FIDE, Petar has danced with the 64 squares like a grandmaster-in-the-making, learning the ropes since at least 2011!
Starting from humble beginnings with a bullet rating barely scraping the 1400 mark, Petar’s chess career could be summarized as a thrilling rollercoaster with more ups than downs. By 2024, Petar’s bullet rating rocketed up to a blistering 2382, proving that speed and precision aren’t mutually exclusive. When others blink, Petar moves—and wins, often.
With a bullet game count hovering near 7,068 and over 3,338 victories, Petar has clearly mastered the art of fast-paced blitz battles. But don’t discount his forte in blitz and rapid formats, where win rates hover tantalizingly close to 50%, showing versatility and nerves of steel.
Petar is also a man (or phantom!) of remarkable comebacks — boasting an astonishing 82.44% comeback rate and a perfect 100% win rate after losing a piece. Talk about turning lemons into lemonsauce!
When Petar lands behind the board, the battles can last. On average, winning games stretch to nearly 62 moves, but losses can drag on for over 70 moves (because why give up early?). Also, he has the psychological resilience to keep calm, with a low tilt factor of 14%—in other words, Petar doesn’t rage quit easily.
Fans would tell you Petar’s presence is electric. His longest winning streak spanned 15 games, and even now he’s riding a nice streak of 3 consecutive wins. His openings? A big secret—both literally and figuratively (tagged as "Top Secret" in his records), keeping opponents guessing and scratching their heads.
Off the board, Petar’s record against some of his fiercest opponents is a mix of brag-worthy victories (100% wins against “naboleon1” and “lazy_fox123”) and learning experiences (looking at you, “darkleft”). His favorite playing times tend to be afternoons and early evenings, waking up his brain just in time for the daily dose of checkmates.
When not dissecting positions or out-sprinting competitors in bullet time controls, Petar likely enjoys the finer things in life—like analyzing those pesky endgames, which account for a hefty 80.11% frequency in his games. Perhaps he’s a fan of slow and steady… until the blitz clocks start ticking!
In summary: Petar Gojković aka Fantom64 is a formidable online warrior, a tactical genius, and the kind of player who makes you rethink your life choices every time you face him at the board. So if you see him online, buckle up—because this IM is in it to win it, and maybe occasionally throw a sneaky sacrifice or two.
Petar, here is some constructive feedback based on your latest bullet games.
Quick stats & trends
• Current bullet form: you scored 5 wins, 5 losses
• Typical result: most games decided on the clock, not the board
• Peak so far: 2384 (2025-01-10)
What you already do well
- Dynamic openings. The early
f- andh-pawn thrusts in the Sicilian/French set-ups often catch opponents off guard. - Tactical alertness. You spot ideas like …
Rxf3, …Rxf4and piece sacs ong3/g6quickly and convert them when the clock is kind. - Resourceful under pressure. In the win against Who_sent_you you were two pawns down but still found counter-play and flagged him.
Biggest improvement opportunities
-
Time management – your #1 leak.
• In every loss you had <2 seconds with plenty of pieces left.
• Try the “10-second rule”: if no obvious tactic exists, make a safe move inside 10 s.
• Practise 1|1 or 2|1 so you learn to keep a buffer instead of relying on last-second premoves. -
Smoother development in the B40 line.
You enter
1.e4 e6 2.d4 c5 3.Nf3 cxd4 4.Nxd4 Nf6 5.Nc3 Bb4 6.e5 Ne4 7.Qg4?!
The queen sortie costs tempo (tempo) and your king often stays in the centre.
Consider 7.Bd2or 7.Qf3– they keep the same idea (pressure ond5/f7) without walking into …Bxc3+. -
King safety vs pawn storms.
In the loss below you pushed bothh- andg-pawns before castling and the counter-strike …b4opened lines against your own monarch.
General rule: in bullet, castle before launching both wing pawns unless you’re 100 % sure the attack lands instantly. -
End-game premove technique.
Many positions were drawable or winning but you flagged while executing simple conversions.
Drill “king and pawn vs king” premove rehearsals so that moves likeKf6–g5–g4–g3are entered almost instantaneously.
Action plan for the next 14 days
- Play one 5|5 game each day and annotate it – this will strengthen positional understanding that transfers back to bullet.
- Replace the risky 7.
Qg4line with 7.Bd2for a week and compare results. - Solve 20 tactics/day under 30 s each to improve “automatic” calculation speed.
- Bullet drill: start with 1|1, aim to keep >15 s after move 20. Track your progress with the clock bar.
Encouragement
Your attacking instincts are excellent; once the clock issue is under control you’ll convert many of those near misses into wins. Stay disciplined with the opening tweaks and time-buffer habit, and a new personal best is well within reach.
