Milos Jirovsky GM

Milos Jirovsky - The Grandmaster with a Blitz Heart

Milos Jirovsky, known in the chess world as MilosJi, is no ordinary Grandmaster — he's a whirlwind of strategy, speed, and a penchant for shooting bishops across the board faster than you can say “checkmate.” Awarded the prestigious title of Grandmaster by FIDE, MilosJi has proven time and again that patience isn’t always a virtue; sometimes, you’ve just got to blitz your way to victory.

A Journey Through the Ratings

Starting from a humble blitz rating dip of 1197 in early 2020, MilosJi's rapid ascent is anything but slow: zooming up to a blazing peak of 2692 in blitz by August 2020, and a tactical bullet rating hitting 2633. His rapid games, while fewer, still peak impressively at 2550. If chess ratings were rocket fuel, MilosJi would be orbiting past the moon by now.

Playing Style: Endgame Enthusiast & Comeback Kid

With an endgame frequency of over 85%, MilosJi often sticks around till the late hours—both on the clock and metaphorically. His games typically stretch beyond 70 moves on average, showcasing his endurance and tenacity. Not one to surrender easily, MilosJi boasts a stunning comeback rate of over 80%, proving he can snatch victory from the jaws of defeat—and sometimes, with just a pawn or knight left on the board.

Signature Openings and Secret Weapons

Always a bit mysterious, MilosJi often wields the "Unknown Opening" in blitz with a respectable 56.5% win rate. His so-called “Top Secret” opening, while less decorated with wins, shows he's not above throwing a curveball or two to keep opponents guessing. In bullet chess, his dominion over unknown openings is near legendary with a whopping 81.7% win rate. It seems he’s less a player and more a human Swiss Army knife, ready for any challenge.

Psychological Edge and Quirks

Our Grandmaster has a tilt factor of just 5 — which is to say he’s as cool as a rook on ice. Notably, his best time of day to play is at the witching hour of 11 PM; clearly, the night owl makes some of his most stunning moves under the moonlight. While his rated games tend to be tougher than casual ones (a win difference dipping by nearly 40%), it only adds to his competitive fire.

Legendary Streaks and Opponents

With a longest winning streak of 26 games (try topping that!), and most frequent opponents like chessshop and korbul seeing mixed fortunes, MilosJi has carved out a niche of respect and rivalry. His win record against a vast array of players is nothing short of impressive, with perfect 100% win rates against many foes who dared to challenge his reigning blitz throne.

The Latest Battles

MilosJi's latest triumph was a swift and poetic checkmate skiing through the Sicilian Defense—Nyezhmetdinov Rossolimo Fianchetto Variation—showing he’s not just a master of speed, but classical strategy too. Of course, even Grandmasters sometimes bite the dust: his recent losses remind us that even MilosJi can be outfoxed, but only by the sharpest opponents.

In Summary

Whether it’s in bullet, blitz, or rapid, Milos Jirovsky plays with a mix of wizardry and wit, making him one of the most captivating figures on the virtual and over-the-board chess battlefield. So next time you face MilosJi, be ready: this Grandmaster doesn't just play chess — he blitzes, baits, and sometimes downright bewitches the very game itself.
