Vitus Bondo Medhus - The FIDE Master with a Taste for Blitz Brilliance
Meet Vitus Bondo Medhus, known to the chess world as myburger, a chess maestro who has earned the prestigious title of FIDE Master. If chess were a battlefield, Vitus would be the general with a chessboard for a war room and a pawn for every tactic imaginable.
Since 2020, Vitus has danced with countless opponents across Blitz, Bullet, Rapid, and Daily formats, dazzling chess enthusiasts with a mix of swift moves and strategic resilience. Their blitz rating soared dramatically from a modest 1430 to an eye-watering peak of 2788 in March 2025 — a trajectory only matched by the speed of their favorite openings.
Speaking of openings, Vitus's secret weapon is appropriately called "Top Secret"—a repertoire that has produced over 3,000 games and a win rate loyal to the cause at nearly 58%. If opponents find themselves facing Vitus’s "Top Secret," they better brace for some serious chess espionage.

Playing Style and Quirks
Vitus is a player who values the endgame, with an endgame frequency over 66%, and a penchant for grinding out wins that last an average of 61 moves.

Chess sessions often peak at 2 AM — because why sleep when you can checkmate? Their favored times of day to play show some dedication: mornings and early afternoons are prime hunting hours, with win rates soaring near 70% around 7 AM and 1 PM.
Favorite Battles and Opponents
Over the years, Vitus has built a friendly rivalry with a cluster of opponents. The most frequent sparring partner is a mysterious series of usernames hinting at a clandestine chess circle, with win rates often exceeding 70%. Opponents beware: whether it's a dazzling checkmate or a crafty resignation, Vitus keeps them guessing until the final move.
