Aleksandar Danilovic (aka jedipredator)

International Master Extraordinaire

Meet Aleksandar Danilovic, a chess warrior who has earned the prestigious title of International Master from FIDE, a testament to their dedication, tactical brilliance, and ability to navigate the 64 squares with masterful precision. Known in the online realm as jedipredator, Aleksandar blends strategic depth with a dash of Jedi-like foresight – beware the force of their bishop or knight!

Rating & Play Style

Aleksandar’s peak blitz rating soared to a formidable 2723 in August 2022, proving that lightning-fast decisions and nerves of steel define their game. Their bullet skills are no joke either, reaching a stellar 2633 in April 2023, and rapid games showcase a cool-headed yet effective approach. With an endgame frequency of over 82%, it’s clear that Aleksandar excels when the board is stripped bare and every move counts. Early resignation is rare here – only a humble 0.27% – showing the fighter’s spirit to battle until the last moment.

Statistical Highlights

  • Blitz record: over 7,000 wins with an almost equal number of losses and draws (7285W / 6258L / 1074D). Talk about resilience and experience!
  • Bullet record: respectable with 416 wins against 352 losses.
  • Daily chess: undefeated with 23 wins and 3 draws, proving the slow game is also well within their domain.
  • Longest winning streak: an epic 28 games – imagine that streak of consecutive checkmates and brilliant tactics.
  • Comeback rate: jaw-dropping 91.06%, making Aleksandar a nightmare opponent who rarely stays down.

Favorite Openings & Tactics

A true connoisseur of the board, Aleksandar shows a particular fondness for the Top Secret opening arsenal – dominating with sly, unexpected moves. When pushing the envelope, they’ve wielded variations like the King’s Gambit Accepted Modern Abbazia Defense with a perfect 100% win rate in their sample games – talk about attacking with flair! The Three Knights Opening Steinitz Defense also stands out as a personal playground, boasting an 80% win success.

Personality & Playing Patterns

Playing under the moniker jedipredator, Aleksandar's mindset mirrors their name: calm, calculating, and relentlessly aggressive when needed. Their "tilt factor" is impressively low at 10, so expect steady nerves even under pressure. The best time to challenge Aleksandar? Around 4 AM – clearly an early riser or perhaps a night owl mastering the mystical 64-square battlefield while the world sleeps.

Recent Battles

Even the greatest have their ups and downs. On May 31, 2025, Aleksandar executed a masterclass in the Ruy Lopez, forcing resignation after a display of strategic finesse. Yet, the next day, a hard-fought battle ended in defeat by resignation to a worthy opponent, proving that even jedis must bow to the dark side sometimes. Each game adds to the legend of jedipredator.

Final Notes

Whether blitzing opponents before they can say “check,” or grinding out wins in daily games, Aleksandar Danilovic is a chess player who embodies the spirit of competition, tactical ingenuity, and just a pinch of humor on this grand chessboard called life. Keep your pawns close and your knights closer – jedipredator is on the hunt.

Hi Aleksandar, here’s a focused review of your recent blitz sessions

Quick Snapshot

  • Current form: solid 2500-plus blitz performance with a sharp, initiative-oriented style.

    to spot your best grind windows.

Your Biggest Strengths

  1. Opening Ambition – As Black you aren’t afraid of theoretical knife fights (e.g. Traxler, Scheveningen). The recent win against jakubito2993 shows confident handling of dynamic material imbalances.
  2. Tactical Alertness – You consistently set up mating nets and forks; the Bxh3/Qh3+/Qg3+ sequence has become a trademark motif.
  3. Conversion Technique under 1 minute – End-game finishes like 48.Rxd8# vs. jdmorillo demonstrate cool finishing accuracy.

Key Improvement Themes

  1. Central Pawn Decisions in the Scheveningen
    – In the loss to Andrew Rivedal you entered …d6/…e6 structures but pushed f-pawn too late, leaving the e6 square soft.
    ➜ Work on move-order drills in the Najdorf/Scheveningen to internalise when …e5/…d5 breaks are safe. Use a rehearsal board and shadow “plans” rather than “moves”.
  2. Premature Queen Excursions
    – Games vs. eraneraneran1 and karjanr feature Qg4/Qb6 choices that dropped tempi and handed the initiative away.
    ➜ Add a self-check in your thinking routine: “Can my queen be hit by a single developing move?” If yes, look for a humbler square.
  3. Time-Burn in Quiet Positions
    – You manage wild positions quickly, but in calmer French-Exchange or Caro-Kann Advance setups you slip below 45 seconds by move 20.
    ➜ Force yourself to blitz the first 10 moves of familiar quiet lines during practice. The saved seconds will serve you in the critical middlegame.

Action Plan for the Next Two Weeks

  • Opening micro-study: 15-minute daily flashcards on …d5 breaks in Sicilians.
  • Tactics: 30 puzzles/day filtered for interference and deflection motifs (areas your opponents used against your queen).
  • Practical drill: play 10 unrated blitz games starting each from a quiet French Exchange position. Goal: reach move 15 with >2:00 on the clock.
  • End-game maintenance: revisit king-and-pawn vs. rook endings; they still decide a third of your long squeezes.

Mindset Reminder

You thrive in chaos, but a balanced skill-set wins tournaments. Treat control as another attacking weapon.

Keep slashing, but tighten the screws where opponents currently escape. See you on the leaderboard!
