Aleksandar Kijanović (aka SerbianHeart) - The Rapid Riddler

Aleksandar Kijanović is a chess player who dances on the 64 squares with a style as mysterious as his favorite opening, simply labeled "Top Secret." With a Rapid rating peaking at 1561 in 2021, Aleksandar has shown the resilience of a chess knight, frequently bouncing back from setbacks with a remarkable 79.37% comeback rate and a flawless 100% win rate after losing a piece — a true testament to his tactical wizardry and unyielding spirit.

Over more than 500 rapid games, Aleksandar maintains a roughly even record (286 wins, 262 losses, and 21 draws), proving that every match is not just a battle but a thrilling saga of strategy, nerve, and occasional heartbreak. His longest winning streak reached an impressive 9 games, and he’s currently riding a confident wave with a 3-game streak.

Fun fact: Aleksandar’s win rate fluctuates with the clock — his prime hours are early morning at 6 AM (because who doesn’t love an espresso-fueled victory?), with a smashing 64.56% win rate and a legendary perfect 100% mark at 7 PM and on Sunday. Clearly, weekends and evenings are prime time for his chess brilliance.

While his opening moves remain under wraps, Aleksandar’s games tend to be long marriages rather than quick flings, with average winning games lasting around 68 moves. Opponents beware: he excels in endgames, diving deep into the final and most crucial phases of the battle.

Speaking of opponents, Aleksandar has a few rivals who bring out the best (or the worst) in him. Against “rlkt,” he boasts an impressive 77.27% win rate, making those encounters thrilling duels. Meanwhile, some opponents like “j_451” have managed to keep him on edge with a zero win rate — a reminder that even the best have their Achilles' heels.

Aleksandar’s psychological fortitude is strong, with a low tilt factor of 8 (the lower, the better), showing he stays cool under pressure — unless, of course, someone steals his queen. Then all bets are off.

Off the board, one can imagine Aleksandar as a strategist who approaches both chess and life with a smile and a slight smirk — because when your favorite opening is a secret, you’ve always got a trick up your sleeve.
