Meet Igor Vujačić
Igor Vujačić, known to the online chess world as garfield_pg, is a FIDE Candidate Master with a serious love for speed. His title speaks to real over-the-board skill, but his true kingdom lives in the bullet arena, where he has piled up tens of thousands of games. If a faster time control ever gets invented, Igor will be first in line.
A Bullet-Fueled Career
Igor's preferred time control is bullet, and the data leaves no doubt. He has pushed his bullet rating past the 2500 mark and kept grinding through massive monthly volumes that would make most players' hands cramp just thinking about them. His best hours are around 10:00 in the morning, which suggests he wakes up ready to flag someone. Even in a format known for chaos, his strength-adjusted win rate in bullet holds near 50 percent, a mark of genuine consistency under time pressure.
Opening Repertoire
Igor does not believe in quiet, theoretical battles. As White, he regularly reaches for the Amar Gambit and the swashbuckling Amazon Attack, while as Black he leans heavily on the Sicilian Defense, especially the O'Kelly Variation. His willingness to steer games into offbeat lines makes every encounter feel like a puzzle, for his opponents and sometimes for himself.
Rivalries and Rivals
No online warrior is complete without rivals, and Igor has built a rogues' gallery. His most frequent dance partner is Dario Alivodic, with more than 170 meetings that are almost perfectly balanced. Another recurring foe is allexo, who has tested Igor across over 100 games. Add in regular sparring partners like zumpili and arminmusovic, and you have a full soap opera playing out at bullet speed.
Built to Bounce Back
Igor is the definition of resilient. His comeback rate sits above 83 percent, meaning he rarely fades quietly. He has survived a grueling 24-game losing streak and answered it with a 15-game winning streak, proof that in bullet chess the next game is always a fresh start. His early resignation rate is a tiny 1.3 percent, so even when things look hopeless, he stays in the fight until the flag falls or the mate lands.
Fun Facts
- His games average around 80 moves, practically marathons for bullet chess.
- He delivers checks most often with the rook, so watch out for those heavy pieces.
- His longest winning streak reached 15, but his longest losing streak hit 24. The yin-yang of online speed chess.
