Stevan Djordjevic: The National Master with a Blitzing Heart
Stevan Djordjevic, also known in the chess circles as SlowPatzer, is no ordinary player — though the username might suggest a casual approach, his National Master title from National chess authorities tells a very different story. This is a player who has spent over a decade battling across the boards, especially shining in the fast-paced blitz format where reflexes and intuition reign supreme.
From Pawns to Power Plays
Stevan started quietly back in 2010, with a modest blitz rating just over 1800 but quickly stormed his way to the upper echelons, hitting an astounding blitz peak rating above 2750 by 2025. This traumatic journey from humble beginnings to near-legendary blitz speed is peppered with thousands of games and thousands more victories — a winning record that suggests his "SlowPatzer" handle is a cheeky bit of reverse psychology.
A Master of Many Clocks
While blitz is Stevan's main battlefield, his skills transcend time controls. He’s a rapid tactician with a rapid rating climbing above 2300, and a bullet battler hitting over 2400 at his peak. Even daily chess sees Stevan flexing his muscles with an 80% win rate in rare games — proving that patience and speed both have their place in his repertoire.
Psychology, Persistence, and… Tilt?
Every chess master knows the battle isn't just on the board but in the mind. Stevan sports a remarkably low 12% tilt factor — so don’t expect to see him meltdown after a blunder. Remarkably, his comeback rate is an astronomical 94.64%, and get this: he never loses after losing a piece, with a perfect 100% win rate in those battered positions. We can only assume Stevan’s secret weapon is a stern chat with himself between moves followed by a ruthless drive to rabidly reset the board in his favor.
The Openings Enigma
Stevan often walks the mysterious path of “Unknown Opening” in blitz play, winning nearly half of his 25,000+ blitz battles from this arcane realm. He’s no stranger to the “Top Secret” openings either, maintaining close to a 50% win rate when unleashing those surprise strategies.
Career Highlights & Funny Tidbits
- Longest winning streak: 20 games — no, your eyes do not deceive you.
- Average moves per win hover around a marathon 92 moves, proving Stevan likes to make every move count (and then some).
- Known opponents? Aliencowboy, gmjoey1, and a whole cast of colorful characters who find themselves often on the losing side.
- Legend has it he once won a game so fast, the opponent blinked and lost on time — but only after a glorious blunder-filled dance.
To sum it up: Stevan Djordjevic is the paradox of chess — a “SlowPatzer” who blitzes, a master who loves the unknown, and a resilient fighter who laughs in the face of tilt. Whether on bullet, blitz, rapid, or daily, he’s a force to be reckoned with in every tick of the clock.
