The Master of the Clock
Vaso Blesic, better known online as VasilijeVladacki, is a FIDE International Master who treats online chess like a contact sport. He has played thousands of rated games, and while his record is strong, it is also gloriously chaotic. His longest winning streak hit 38 games, and his longest losing streak hit 71, which is the kind of stat that makes you respect his resilience and question his life choices in equal measure.
Style and Repertoire
Blesic is a devoted e4 player as White, and his opening choices are a love letter to sharp, tactical battles. The Sicilian Defense: Najdorf Variation shows up in his record hundreds of times, and he has racked up strong results in the critical lines. As Black he is just as ambitious, regularly reaching for the Alekhine Defense or the rock solid Caro-Kann Defense, both of which carry winning records in his most played formats.
His games are rarely quick draws. The average decisive game runs around 67 moves, and he reaches the endgame in roughly 70 percent of his games. He also loves to strike first: Blesic delivers the first check in nearly 55 percent of his games, and his queen is his favorite battering ram.
Here is a typical Najdorf setup from his repertoire:
Famous Feuds
No biography of Blesic is complete without his recurring rivalries. His most played opponent is bittersweet23, with 183 meetings and 118 wins for the International Master. He also holds a commanding edge over Mr. T, winning 122 of 148 games. However, there is one name that haunts him: Richard Yi has beaten him 15 times in 24 encounters, proving that even a 2700 level blitz player has a nemesis.
Fighting Spirit
The numbers paint Blesic as a player who never gives up. His comeback rate is over 80 percent, and he wins more than half of his games even after losing a piece. His best hours are early in the morning, around 07:00, when his tactical radar is at its sharpest. On the other hand, his tilt factor of 71 suggests that when the wheels come off, they come off spectacularly. That combination of brilliance and volatility is exactly what makes him so entertaining to follow.
