Player Profile: Vasil80
Vasil80 is an enthusiastic chess competitor who has been steadily honing his skills since 2022. Initially focusing on Rapid games — where he boasts thousands of matches played — he later broadened his scope to include Daily, Blitz, and Bullet formats. By 2025, his ratings reflect a strong all-around approach: in Rapid, he has peaked above 1800, in Daily he approached 1300, in Blitz he is often in the mid- to high-1400s, and he has also explored the fast-paced Bullet format with ratings climbing into the 800–1500 range at various points.
One of his calling cards is sheer endurance: his matches tend to stretch well into endgames, and he averages over 70 moves per win. He also exhibits a tenacious spirit, pulling off comebacks in over 80% of situations when behind. While his busy schedule spreads across much of the week, Tuesday and late evenings often prove successful times for him, with a slightly higher win rate reported in those periods.
In the opening phase, Vasil80 likes to employ a wide variety of setups, especially ones beginning with 1.e4. The King’s Pawn Opening stands out among his favorite launch pads. He has also tried numerous gambits, from the King's Gambit to the Blackmar–Diemer, always searching for dynamic positions. Despite an early resignation rate of under 3%, he generally fights on, prepared to seize opportunities in drawn-out battles.
Above all, Vasil80 displays a vibrant love for chess, proven by thousands of rapid-paced games and steady improvements year over year. His adaptability, resilience in tough positions, and willingness to experiment with new openings make each of his matches a lively contest. Whether you face him in a blazing Bullet encounter or a methodical Daily game, you can expect him to bring both energy and creativity to the board.
