Dragan Skrobic (aka "skorbie") - The Blitz Bullet Maestro
Meet Dragan Skrobic, a chess player whose lightning-fast fingers and razor-sharp mind have dominated the online battlefield with a hectic mix of blitz and bullet games. Known in the chess realm as "skorbie," Dragan has amassed a bullet peak rating approaching the nearly mythical 2893 mark back in December 2010 — a rating so high it could probably stun an actual lightning bolt.
Born for speed and precision, Dragan thrives best under fast time controls. His blitz peak sits impressively at 2284, with rapid games showing a respectable 1829 peak. His collection of over 700 bullet games with a win rate around 64% proves that not only can he think faster than most of us can blink, but he consistently outwits opponents faster than they can react.
Playing Style & Humor
With an endgame frequency of 78.7% and an average of nearly 71 moves per win, it’s clear Dragan enjoys the long haul — unless, of course, it’s bullet, where the pace shifts from marathon to sprint faster than you can say "checkmate." His psychological tilt factor is a manageable 9, proving he keeps his cool even when the clock’s ticking down to mere seconds.
Fun fact: Dragan's favorite hour to annihilate opponents seems to be 8 AM, which means while most are reaching for their coffee, he's already brewing checkmates. Whether it's sweeping the board with a brutal 25-game winning streak or recovering almost magically with a 78.7% comeback rate, he’s a fighter who never gives up—unless the early resignation rate of 1.06% kicks in, but hey, even legends need a break!
Opening Secrets and Opponents
Dragan’s opening repertoire is classified as "Top Secret" — which sounds intimidating, and frankly, it is. Across all time controls, he boasts a consistent 60-65% win rate with these mysterious lines, leaving opponents scratching their heads about what just happened. His chess enemies are a who’s who of online foes: with over 100 battles against gmjoey1 and lapitch, any bragging rights here are hard-earned.
Memorable Moments
On January 3rd, 2011, Dragan delivered a stunning checkmate victory against the formidable gmjoey1 in a blitz battle involving the Modern Defense. His tactical awareness shone as he patiently stalked his prey, culminating in a devastating final strike that left spectators and foes alike in awe. If patience is a virtue, then Dragan’s one-sided win by checkmate was a masterclass in timing.
Summary
In sum: Dragan "skorbie" Skrobic is a chess force to be reckoned with — a blazing bullet predictor, a steady blitz tactician, and an overall opponent’s nightmare. Whether you’re a casual challenger or a budding grandmaster, facing Dragan means entering a chess arena where every second counts and every move might be your last... preferably not your last move lost.
