Style and Strategy

Владимир's approach to blitz is a mature balance of patience and aggression. Averaging roughly 78 moves both in wins and losses, he clearly enjoys the long, strategic battles rather than lightning strikes. Despite the fast-paced nature of blitz, his endgame frequency is an impressive 80%, showing he’s not afraid to grind out the finish.

Not one to give up early, his early resignation rate is a mere 0.28%, proving Mihalichenko fights almost until the very last pawn falls. When a piece is lost, fear not – his comeback rate stands at an astounding 89.77%, and he boasts a perfect 100% win rate after losing a piece. Talk about resilience!

Time & Day Preferences

Sharp as ever, Владимир prefers making moves at 8 AM when his win rate peaks at nearly 57%. Sundays also seem to be his lucky day with a win rate exceeding 55%. Early riser or weekend warrior? Perhaps both!

Notable Opponents

Mihalichenko seems to have a flair for taking down certain rivals with ease, boasting 100% victories against familiar challengers like kamilgrycel and natrost2000. However, he’s still searching for a checkmate against alexander_butlerov—with a 0% win rate there, that match might be his personal Riddle of the Sphinx.

Anecdotes & Fun Facts

Despite his serious chess prowess, the psychological data hints at occasional tilting moments (tilt factor of 8), reminding us even grandmasters have their "oops" moments. And if you imagine blitz players as frantic bullet-movers, Vladimir breaks the mold with a calm and calculated style—his games tend to linger on, averaging close to 80 moves.

With a fighting spirit and a strategic mind, Владимир Михайличенко continues to carve his name into the blitz chess hall of fame, one rapid move at a time.
