Vaso Blesic (aka VasilijeVladacki)
Title: International Master (FIDE)
Vaso Blesic is a chess player whose journey through the 64 squares resembles an epic novel filled with thrilling victories, occasional setbacks, and a ton of resilient comebacks. Known to some as VasilijeVladacki in the chess realm, Vaso has climbed the rating ladder with persistence and a fair share of tactical wizardry.
Chess Career & Achievements
Starting around 2018 with a daily rating below 1400, Vaso quickly showed a knack for dominating opponents, boasting a perfect 14-0 in the first recorded month of games. Such momentum catapulted their peak daily rating to over 2050 by early 2019.
Though every hero faces challenges—such as a rough patch in late 2019—the resilient Vaso bounced back with solid performances, steadily improving in all formats.
When the clock speeds up, so does Vaso’s brilliance. In blitz chess, they've hit a peak rating nearing 2740 by 2025—no small feat that places them among elite speed chess tacticians.
Rapid and bullet are also strong suits, with peaks over 2600 in rapid and well above 2500 in bullet, showcasing Vaso's speed and sharpness across the board.
Playing Style
Vaso is a patient strategist, averaging around 67 moves per win, which means they enjoy a good long battle rather than quick checkmates—unless they have to! Their endgame prowess is significant, with over 70% endgame frequency, proving that they're just as comfortable squeezing one more inch out of a position as delivering crushing blows.
A notable trait? An impressive 81% comeback rate—Vaso never gives up, turning around games even when the odds seem bleak. Their psychological toughness is legendary, although a tilt factor of 73 suggests even they have those "Why did I just blunder?!" moments.
Record & Rivals
With over 800 daily wins and almost 1900 blitz wins under their belt, Vaso is no stranger to success. They have a notable rivalry with usernames such as bittersweet23 and southeuro, showing dominance against many opponents but also humility in tougher matchups.
Among their preferred openings lies a top secret arsenal that keeps opponents guessing, along with a fondness for the Scotch Game, Nimzowitsch-Larsen Attack, and Kings Indian defense variations—shamelessly throwing out puzzles with flair.
Memorable Game
One of Vaso’s latest triumphs was a blitz victory over AppleBishop in May 2025, where the Scotch Game Steinitz Variation led to a clever and patient checkmate. In true Vaso fashion, the game combined tactical strikes with strategic patience—ending in a win on time after a battle of wits.
