Petar Djuric, a.k.a. hektor20
Petar Djuric is the patron spirit of the friendly online arena. Since 2012 he has lived on the chess servers, producing a mountain of blitz games while officially wearing the bullet clock around his neck. If you check his data at 2 AM, you find his peak win rate at that hour; the board is apparently most alive for him when the rest of the world has gone quiet. His blitz road goes from a dreamy 1400 start into zooming climbs, a wild rollercoaster that any clicker can love.
Opening Flavor
The English song is a favorite for hektor20: he explores the English Opening with fianchetto grizzly and many quiet positional setups. As Black he finds refuge in the Sicilian Defense lines, from the Closed to the Alapin to the Dragon. Occasionally he also waves at the Bird Opening for a loose and strange night. All this is served in record chunks, since almost 86 percent of his games survive into an actual endgame and his winning epics last an average of 85 moves.
Foes and Friends
No name is more frequent in his files than the ever-present Mher Hakobyan, with an unbelievable 45 head to head duels and Petar holding the plus score. The list also carries HeraclesCarvalho, a Brazilian flank adversary, and 1988lastchance, one of his few late-night nemeses. He will also battle the same opponent throughout a whole era, the repeat rematch is his middle name.
How to Read Him
The visual curve is a joyful one if you like lifts: just look at
and then also . The hard cat says 2583 (2022-09-09) blitz and 2471 (2026-07-15). A player of his stripes chases the bullet, carries the rematch button with pride, and we believe he is a kindred sword in the line of the Sicilian warriors.
