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.
