Bojan Jovanovic

International Master (IM)

Known online as Forest_of_Magic, Bojan Jovanovic is a chess wizard with the official title of International Master bestowed by FIDE. While not quite a Grandmaster, Bojan’s tactical spells and strategic sorcery often leave opponents wondering if there’s some real magic involved.

Bojan’s blitz rating peaked at a scorching 2611 in August 2019, a mark that denotes a player who can think fast and strike hard under pressure. But speed isn’t the only trick up Bojan’s sleeve – in bullet chess (games lasting under a minute), Bojan pushed all limits even further, rising to a peak rating of 2480 in March 2025.

With over 3,200 wins in blitz and a bullet win rate north of 63%, Forest_of_Magic consistently shows the blend of speed, precision, and resilience that makes for a formidable opponent. Fun fact: Bojan’s current winning streak is a magical 29 games – a streak so potent that opponents are advised to bring garlic and holy water.

Playing Style & Personality

• Likes to end games decisively – the “resign early” rate is a modest 25%, so opponents won’t enjoy many freebies.
• Endgames are home turf, fought in nearly 87% of games, showing deep positional understanding.
• Average game length spans the battlefield with about 82 moves for wins, proving that Bojan loves long, tactical duels rather than quick skirmishes.
• Comback king – an impressive 87% comeback rate after setbacks, which is basically saying “never count this wizard out.”
• Best time of day to fight Bojan? At 1 AM, clearly when the magic is strongest.

Memorable Moments

One of Bojan’s most recent triumphs was a breathtaking checkmate executed on March 18, 2025, showcasing trademark precision and attacking flair. Opponents beware: Bojan can weave an impenetrable spell out of seemingly ordinary openings.

Fun Facts

• Bojan’s nickname “Forest_of_Magic” is a nod to the enigmatic strategies and “enchanted” moves that sprout across the board like a dense mystical forest.
• While many players tilt after losses, Bojan’s tilt factor is low (9 out of 100), proving the magic of a cool mind.
• Wins come slightly more often when playing White (55%) but don’t be fooled – Black games are fought with equal tenacity.

Whether casting surprise attacks or patiently outmaneuvering rivals, Bojan Jovanovic continues to enchant the chess world, one move at a time. If chess was Hogwarts, Bojan would surely be in Slytherin – cunning, ambitious, and absolutely magical.
