Petr Velicka GM

Petr Velicka — Chess Grandmaster Extraordinaire

Meet Petr Velicka, a Grandmaster certified by FIDE and a fierce gladiator of the 64-square battlefield. With a peak blitz rating soaring to a formidable 2439 in April 2021, Petr has proven time and again that speed and precision can coexist beautifully.

Petr’s blitz adventures tell tales of over 139 games in the mysterious and aptly named opening "Top Secret," boasting a solid win rate of 57.55%. It's as if Petr waved a magic wand in the opening and left opponents gasping for breath. His longest winning streak? A jaw-dropping 11 games — because why stop at just a few victories when you can blitz through a dozen?

When facing foes like “evgevg2002” or “trener-pokrocili”, Petr’s win rate hovers near perfection, sometimes even hitting a flawless 100%. Opponents brave enough to challenge him better bring their A-game or prepare to be dazzled. Then again, Purpleberry22 and Belka1989 have managed to steal a few wins — keeping things interesting.

With an endgame frequency of nearly 90%, Petr doesn’t just play to survive — he plays to finish strong, turning battles into beautiful finales. His average game length clocks around 80-85 moves, a testament to his patience, stamina, and probably a minor caffeine addiction.

Petr’s psychological toolkit is a chess player’s dream: a comeback rate over 91% and a win rate after losing a piece at about 57%. In other words, losing material doesn’t faze him — most likely because he’s mentally plotting three moves ahead while casually sipping his coffee.

Also, don’t expect a tantrum after a tough game: his “tilt factor” is a mild 3, proof that Petr keeps his cool, whether it’s 2 PM coffee break or 11 PM late blitz sessions. Speaking of the best time to play, prime hours are around 14:00, when Petr’s brain apparently enters chess overdrive mode.

Fun fact: Petr has a surprisingly low early resignation rate (2.7%), showcasing his fighting spirit even when the position looks grim. After all, everyone loves a good underdog story, especially when it ends with a checkmate.

Recent Triumph Highlights:

• April 17, 2021 — Petr bravely piloted the Modern Defense (B06) to a swift victory, winning on time against Trener-Pokrocili. Evidence that sometimes, speed beats strategy — though with Petr, it’s always both.
• Earlier that day, Petr clinched another win by resignation against horvi1 utilizing the Reti Opening's sneaky sidelines. The moral? Never underestimate a GM’s preparation.
• Against ghostdog777, Petr again triumphed on time — proving that his clock management is just as lethal as his tactical vision.

Every player faces defeat — and Petr is no exception:

On the flip side, his most recent loss came in a Caro-Kann Defense duel with Vitalino80 on the very same day. But rest assured, Petr’s legendary comeback skills are ready to snap that streak at any moment.

In the grand tapestry of chess warriors, Petr Velicka is that enigmatic blend of analytical genius, unstoppable blitz wizard, and comrade-in-arms for those who appreciate elegant endgames and good sportsmanship. So next time you see PetrVelicka online, beware — you might just be facing the perfect storm of brains, speed, and a dash of humor. And if you lose? Well, you’ll have a great chess story to tell.
