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.

A Quick Peek at the Stats

  • Total Wins (Blitz): 1,831
  • Peak Blitz Rating: 2788
  • Bullet Wins: 1,242
  • Current Winning Streak: 3 (because who wants to stop winning?)
  • Longest Winning Streak: 42 (a marathon, not a sprint!)
  • Psychology: A tilt factor of 16 means Vitus sometimes feels the heat but bounces back with a comeback rate over 69%. Resilience is the name of the game.

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. But don't mistake their careful play for a slowcoach: with an early resignation rate just under 12%, Vitus knows when to fight and when to save energy for the next battle.

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.

Recent Glorious Victory

In a spectacular game played on June 1, 2025, Vitus (as White) defeated mattack9999 with a strategic masterclass in the Closed Sicilian Defense: Fianchetto Variation. Maneuvering with surgical precision, Vitus forced a resignation after a relentless attack culminating at move 29. The game is a perfect example of Vitus's ability to transform pressure into victory.

"Why win quickly when you can win beautifully?" – Vitus Bondo Medhus, probably.

With a sparkling career ahead, Vitus continues to conquer chess boards around the world — proving that sometimes the best burgers really do come with a side of checkmate.

What You're Doing Well

Vitus, your recent games show a strong command of aggressive and dynamic opening choices like the Nimzo-Larsen Attack and Amar Gambit, where your win rates are impressive (above 60% in some cases). You're adept at creating tactical opportunities early on and capitalizing on weaknesses, as seen in your attacking play and timely sacrifices.

  • Your play in the Nimzo-Larsen Attack achieves a 65%+ win rate, showing excellent understanding of this opening’s ideas.
  • You handle pressure well in complex positions, often transitioning into favorable endgames.
  • Your ability to exploit opponent inaccuracies, especially in bullet time controls, is a key strength.
  • The recent positive slope in your rating trend indicates overall upward progress and adaptability.

Areas for Improvement

While you have a solid foundation, the bullet games reveal some patterns where you could focus your training to improve further:

  • Time Management: Some wins were on time rather than checkmate, suggesting opportunities to sharpen your clock management in critical phases.
  • Defensive Techniques: In some losses, attacks from opponents broke through, indicating the need to strengthen defensive awareness, especially when dealing with pressure on your king in the middle game.
  • Endgame Precision: A few games showed missed chances to simplify to winning endgames or prevent losing material; drilling practical endgames could boost your conversion rate.
  • Opening Variety Adaptation: Although you excel in certain openings, adapting to less common opponent systems could improve your resilience against surprise lineups.

Practical Tips to Boost Your Bullet Performance

  • Incorporate routine quick endgame exercises such as king and pawn vs king, or rook endgames, to convert advantages confidently.
  • Practice focused time management drills to balance speed with accuracy, aiming to avoid time scrambles.
  • Study common tactical motifs in your favored openings to anticipate opponent threats and sharpen counterplay.
  • Review losses to identify recurring tactical oversights or positional errors and develop targeted solutions.
  • Continue playing regularly to maintain and build on your upward rating trend, reflecting your improving skill.

Summary

Your bullet games display strong attacking instincts and resourcefulness, with a quite impressive win rate in challenging openings. By refining your defensive skills, improving time management, and strengthening endgame understanding, you can convert more winning positions and reduce losses. Keep leveraging your recent positive rating trends and focus on structured practice sessions. This approach will help you climb higher and gain consistent results in high-speed games.
