Mladen Rajkovic: The International Master of Blitz
Mladen Rajkovic, proudly carrying the title of International Master bestowed by FIDE, is a lightning-fast tactician whose blitz games are nothing short of electrifying. If blitz chess were a sprint, Mladen would be Usain Bolt—except with a chessboard and a penchant for humiliating opponents in under an hour.
From a humble rating start of 611 in 2020, Mladen skyrocketed to a blistering peak blitz rating of 2706 in 2021, proving that grinding is overrated and acceleration is the name of the game. With an impressive 196 wins out of 285 blitz games using his "Top Secret" openings (trust us, the secret's safe), his win rate hovers around a tricky-to-escape 69%.
Mladen's games tell fascinating stories: a longest winning streak of 39 games where opponents probably questioned their life choices, and a comeback rate of over 84% shows that giving up is not in their vocabulary. Plus, losing a piece? No worries—Mladen turns setbacks into masterpiece victories with a perfect 100% win rate after losing material.
Known to be merciless playing Black with a win rate over 76%, Mladen’s preferred battleground is often the late endgame, where they shine by squeezing wins out of tricky positions with patience and precision. Average moves per win sit near 70, but when things don’t go as planned, losses can stretch almost 91 moves—because quitting gracefully is apparently not Mladen’s style.
On the psychological chessboard, Mladen shows a slight tilt factor of 4—barely flinching under pressure—and a winning edge in rated games over casual ones by nearly 69%, proving the nerves only seem to sharpen their strategic blade.
When does Mladen's chess magic happen? Surprisingly often late at night! With near-perfect win rates between 10 pm and midnight plus flawless Sunday and Monday afternoons, they’ve made their own prime time for crushing foes. Beware if you dare challenge them during the “witching hours” and those early afternoon blasts of genius!
Opponents have ranged from casual online rivals to well-known competitors like gothamchess (100% win rate there) and “francyim” (25%), but Mladen’s game is a unique mix of brilliant tactics, dogged resilience, and an endgame ruthlessness that would make even the toughest grandmasters shudder.
In summary, Mladen Rajkovic isn’t just playing chess—they’re rewriting blitz legends, one move at a time. With a zero tolerance for early resignation (0% early resign rate) and a willingness to dance deep into the endgame abyss, Mladen’s journey is a thrilling tale of grit, brilliance, and the occasional cheeky trap that leaves opponents blinking in disbelief.
Watch out world, IM Mladen Rajkovic is in the house — and ready to blitz your king off the board!
