Milos Popovic - International Master Extraordinaire
Known in the chess world as Fischer_Of_Rivia, Milos Popovic is not just any chess player; they are a relentless International Master who dances through the 64 squares with a flair that makes grandmasters pause (and sometimes panic). A rising star of 2025, Milos boasts peak ratings of 2743 in Bullet, 2716 in Blitz, and a solid 2503 in Rapid – numbers that scream "Don't underestimate me!"
Playing Style & Highlights
With an average of nearly 78 moves per win, Milos takes their time to remold the battlefield into a masterpiece of strategy. They embrace endgames generously (77.45% frequency, for those counting) and have a comeback rate staggering at 84.88%, proving time and time again that giving up is not in their vocabulary. Their win rates shine brightly whether wielding the White pieces (60.9%) or Black pieces (60%), so no kingdom is safe.
Signature Openings
- Bullet: Loves the mystery with Top Secret opening, with a solid 55% win rate over 673 games.
- Blitz: Wins big using Top Secret again, boasting nearly 70% win rate!
- Rapid: Prefers the Top Secret and Sicilian Defense Open Accelerated Dragon Maroczy Bind, with remarkable consistency.
Don't ask what "Top Secret" is – it's classified. Perhaps this IM is reinventing the wheel or just loves elite unpredictability.
Fun Facts & Quirks
The best time for Milos to wreck havoc on opponents is at the break of dawn, 6:00 AM sharp, when their win rate hits a perfect 100%! Early birds might catch the worm, but Milos catches queens – left, right, and center. Despite a low tilt factor of 6, this player has a knack for snatching victory from the jaws of defeat and striking back even when down a piece. Double down on their time control mastery: timeout wins stack impressively high.
Memorable Moments
The latest victory was a thrilling game in the chaotic realm of Chess960, where Milos, as White, outmaneuvered Vakus with a timely mix of aggression and guile, winning on time after a 57-move epic battle. Of course, the journey hasn't been all smooth sailing; a memorable loss by checkmate at the hands of Maverick serves as a humbling reminder that even IMs can be schooled sometimes.
Opponent Highlights
Milos tends to dominate a fair few players extensively, with amazing win streaks against some opponents, boasting flawless 100% win records against several challengers. However, some pesky rivals like aidypie and lucaprotopopescu keep the challenge alive!
In Summary
Whether in Bullet, Blitz, or Rapid, Milos Popovic (aka Fischer_Of_Rivia) is a formidable force packed with resilience, strategy, and a dash of mystery. An early riser with a heart of a warrior and the poise of a grandmaster, this IM is the kind of player that makes sure every game counts and every opponent remembers their name.
