Meet MrVjk: The International Master Extraordinaire

Once a humble fledgling in the wild world of internet chess, MrVjk has clawed their way up to the prestigious title of International Master, officially sanctioned by the mighty FIDE. With a flair for bullet games that balances on the razor’s edge of lightning-fast calculation and sheer nerve, MrVjk’s rating soared from dabbling at 1616 in 2019 to a blistering peak of 2635 in 2023.

A Journey Through Time and Clocks

Whether wielding the rapid-fire pace of bullet chess or the steady march of blitz and rapid formats, MrVjk’s battle stats tell tales of endurance and tactical wizardry. Bullet chess? A win rate hovering around 58% over 237 games speaks volumes. Blitz? A respectable near-50% win rate across more than 300 duels. And rapid? Prepare to be astounded — nearly a 92% win rate in those rare, strategic bursts of calm!

Style, Strategy, and a Touch of Drama

Known for an 82-move average to victory in wins (because who wants to finish too early?), and a remarkably low early resignation rate of just 1.38%, MrVjk is as stubborn as a chessboard mule bending every piece toward victory. With an 83.75% endgame frequency, this player clearly loves the slow simmer of long, drawn-out battles full of nerve-wracking tension.

Mental Fortitude (and a Little Quirkiness)

Comebacks? Oh yes. After losing a crucial piece, MrVjk fights back with a perfect 100% win rate — take that, despair! But watch out for their tilt factor of 9, which is just a fancy way of saying this master sometimes gets a bit flustered (aren’t we all?). Early morning matches can be a gamble: 77% win rate at 9 AM but a mere 33% at the odd hour of 2 AM.

Famous Rivals and Fan Favorites

MrVjk’s opponents list reads like a who’s who of internet chess battles: from “metatroncub3” (crushed with a near 80% win rate) to 100% victories against “apollonzerotv” and “madshark.” Whether friends or foes, every match adds to the saga of this chess adventurer.

In Short:

  • Rating Peaks: Bullet (2635), Blitz (2375), Rapid (2378)
  • Longest Winning Streak: A cool 16 games in a row
  • Tactical Genius: Rarely loses one-sided and has mastered the art of the comeback
  • Chess Motto: "Why rush? Let’s make it a long and thrilling battle."

In the grand chess opera, MrVjk plays the mysterious, crafty maestro who turns blunders into brilliance and surprises foes with relentless willpower. A player to watch — for their talent, their tenacity, and, most importantly, their love of the game that’s far too fun to ever quit early.

What’s Working

  • Reliable Opening Framework. Your Reti/English move-order (1.Nf3 followed by e3, c4, b3, g3) keeps positions familiar and your king safe—perfect for 1-minute chess.
  • King Safety & Mating Sense. Four of your last five wins ended in checkmate; you spot back-rank ideas quickly (see diagram after 29.Rh8# in the model game).
  • Conversion Skills. When you’re up material you finish efficiently—either by force or on the clock.

Biggest Rating Levers

  1. Tactical Vigilance When Defending.
    • Versus T. (loss) 13…Qc5?! overlooked Nd3 and you lost tempi.
    • Against shortlife-sharpmoves you missed 16.Nd6+—a classic LPDO (LPDO). Before an active queen move, spend 0.2 s on a “fork/ pin/ loose piece” scan.
  2. Central Space in Your Reti Set-ups.
    Early b3 + g3 can concede …d5/…e5. Test one line this week with the immediate 3.d4 or c4-d4 break so Black doesn’t own the centre.
  3. Clock Management.
    Three recent losses were on time in playable positions. Bullet tips: premove forced recaptures; lock in one main opening for each colour; in lost positions liquidate fast to seek perpetuals or flags.

Model Victory

Note the smooth transfer of pieces, culminating in a direct mating net:


Opening Add-Ons

  • White: After 1.Nf3 d5 2.e3, try 3.c4 instantly. It pressures the centre and can transpose to a reversed Benoni where your piece placement is already optimal.
  • Black vs 1.e4: Your Accelerated Panov Caro-Kann felt shaky. If you like kingside fianchetto structures, sample the Pirc/Modern—same pawn structure, far fewer queen traps.

Endgame Micro-Training (10 min/day)

  • Lucena & Philidor rook techniques (you reach R + P vs R often).
  • Knight vs passed pawn endings—useful for bullet scrambles.

Action Plan for the Week

  1. After each loss, jot one missed tactic and one clock error.
  2. Play a 10-game 3|2 session with the same openings; focus on spotting threats faster.
  3. Revisit the charts above next Monday—look for fewer time losses and higher win rate in the critical ‎00:00-06:00 UTC slot.

Keep the momentum going and enjoy your chess!
