Vladimir Rogovskyi – The Grandmaster Behind the Username "viziruk"
Meet Vladimir Rogovskyi, a chess maestro who has ascended the echelons of strategy and wit to earn the coveted title of Grandmaster from FIDE. Known in the online chess circles by the enigmatic username "viziruk", Vladimir blends tactical brilliance with unshakable composure, making him a duel force on the board and a formidable blitz opponent.
With a peak blitz rating soaring to an impressive 2321 in July 2011, Vladimir’s rapid-fire decision-making is nothing short of spectacular. His blitz stats boast a win rate nearing 80% over hundreds of games, featuring an awe-inspiring longest winning streak of 39 games. When Vladimir locks in, the ladder to victory just keeps rising. Opponents beware!
But Vladimir isn’t just about numbers and trophies. His playing style combines patience and precision, averaging around 66 moves per win, showing he’s not in a rush to win—just in a rush to win correctly. His endgame frequency sits at a high 71.5%, making him an expert at turning tight positions into triumphs.
Timing is his secret weapon. Playing at 9 AM sharp? That’s Vladimir at his best, with a win rate over 90%. Early risers and coffee drinkers, take note—this is prime time chess wizardry.
If chess had a Hall of Fame for online blitz battles, Vladimir’s record against recurring opponents reads like an inspiring saga: massive wins (with over 90% win rates against top rivals such as badmannelly and robkeo), and a psychological edge strong enough to silence any doubts. His resilience game is top-notch too, boasting a comeback rate exceeding 83%, proving he’s never out until the last piece falls.
His opening repertoire is a closely guarded secret—quite literally named "Top Secret"—where he dominates with a near 80% win rate. It's safe to say opponents often spend more time guessing his next move than making theirs.
Perhaps most amusingly, Vladimir has never been a fan of early resignations (holding a flawless 0% early resignation rate). Why quit early when you can toy with your opponent a bit longer and press your advantage? That’s the spirit of a grandmaster who lives for the challenge, the thrill, and the long game.
So next time you see viziruk popping up in a blitz match, prepare for a whirlwind of sophisticated maneuvers, strategic depth, and a bit of grandmaster flair. Victory may be on the line, but rest assured, Vladimir Rogovskyi plays with heart and humor, reminding us all that chess is as much about the journey as the checkmate.
