Recent Games

Last Win Highlights

Recently, Viktor clinched a nice victory against dokthree using a bold exchange in the Old Benoni Defense. A swift 16-move finish, with a final flourish of rook and bishop dominance — classic Viktor!

Other notable wins include checkmating the youngster IndianWonderKID with a cunning trap in the French Defense Kings Indian Attack.

Last Losses

Even the best have their off days. Viktor's recent loss to ming2412 in the Mieses Opening was a nerve-wracking battle that ended on time pressure, reminding us that chess is as much about endurance as brilliance.

But hey, every loss just fuels the fire — Viktor’s already plotting his next comeback!

Fun Fact

With nearly as many wins by timeout as by checkmate, Viktor is a master of exhausting his opponents’ clocks — a true psychological warrior on the battlefield! So if your clock runs out first, don’t be surprised if the next move is called.
