Grandmaster Vladimir Akopian
Vladimir Akopian, also known by the mysterious handle GMValeduser, is a chess Grandmaster whose skills on the board could make even the staunchest opponents resign in despair. With a career spanning over a decade, he’s transformed the 64 squares into his personal battlefield where strategies and tactics dance in a thrilling spectacle.
Chess Journey & Achievements
Awarded the prestigious title of Grandmaster by FIDE, Vladimir is not just your average player but a blitz and bullet storm enthusiast. His blitz rating peaked impressively at 3210 in June 2022, accompanied by a bullet high score of 3213 – numbers that might cause some CPUs to overheat. With an astounding 65% win rate in his favorite "Top Secret" opening in blitz and a flawless 100% in bullet games, it’s clear he’s hiding a few tricks up his sleeve.
Playing Style & Stats
Vladimir’s approach to chess is like a suspense novel: full of twists, a touch of psychology, and impressive endurance. He rarely concedes early (zero early resignations to humble brag about), loves deep endgames (over 83% endgame frequency!), and averages almost 73 moves per win – proving he’s happy to wear his opponents down in a grueling intellectual marathon.
His psychological typhoon includes an impressive 89.45% comeback rate and a knack for winning after losing a piece nearly two-thirds of the time. Tilt? Barely a blip at 7 on the scale. His best time to unleash brilliance? The crack of dawn at 5 AM, when most mortals are still wrestling with breakfast, Vladimir is already checkmating foes.
Recent Battles
The recent victory against Violord in a Queen's Gambit Declined Ragozin Defense opening sealed by resignation witnessed Vladimir’s precise control and nerves of steel. Even when knocked down by fierce competitors like Inspektor_Rex, his Grandmaster spirit remains unbroken, ready for the next challenge.
Fun Facts
- Longest winning streak? A merciless 27 wins in a row – talk about streaking through the opposition.
- Current winning streak, as of June 2022? A healthy 16 consecutive wins, because rest is for the non-grandmasters.
- Has a win rate over 90% on Wednesdays. Coincidence? We think not. Wednesday must be Vladimir’s lucky day.
Whether blitzing opponents from the shadows or meticulously crafting long endgames, Vladimir Akopian combines talent, persistence, and a pinch of chess sorcery, making every game a must-watch. He’s not just playing chess; he’s redefining it.
