VladaH

Meet VladaH: The Sicilian Cowboy and Tactical Maestro

VladaH is no ordinary chess player — they're a blitz battler with a peak rating that once soared to an impressive 1987 in 2019. Known for riding into the arena with the daring Sicilian Defense Cowboy Attack, VladaH has played over 700 games with this opening alone, boasting a win rate north of 57%. It's safe to say the Wild West has nothing on this cowboy’s rapid-fire maneuvers!

But VladaH isn't just a one-trick pony. Their repertoire includes sharp shots like the Ruy Lopez Morphy Defense and some sneaky variations of the Sicilian, often turning the tide of chaos into elegant victories. In rapid games, VladaH reached a peak rating of 2067, showcasing a talent for thoughtful speed as well. Bullet chess? They dip in occasionally, peaking at 1740, proving their reflexes are no joke either.

One of VladaH's most notable stats is the remarkable 81% comeback rate — when the chips are down and a piece is lost, VladaH channels their inner Houdini to turn the tables on opponents. Their chess mind thrives under pressure, averaging over 70 moves per win with relentless endgame persistence (78.8% endgame frequency). A chess marathoner, not a sprinter!

Timing is key for VladaH. Their all-star playing hours hover around 11 AM and late evenings, striking when the mind is freshest (and coffee is strong). Interestingly, they've mastered winning more games with White pieces (55% win rate) while still holding their own on Black squares—because who needs color when you’ve got grit?

VladaH’s approach is serious but with a sprinkle of humor: early resignations are rare (0.28%), because why quit when you can turn the tables? And tilt? A modest 9 on the scale, barely a hiccup when the pressure mounts.

Recent Adventures in the Arena

In a recent duel on June 2, 2025, VladaH harnessed the classic Ruy Lopez Morphy Defense Exchange Variation to outlast PeasantProud, winning on time after an intense 46-move tussle featuring twists that would make even Bobby Fischer nod in respect.

Of course, even champions face setbacks. VladaH’s latest loss was against Alipour11 on April 22, 2025, in a well-fought battle featuring the Grunfeld Defense Exchange Variation. But like any true warrior, VladaH learns, adapts, and returns stronger—often with new tricks up their sleeve.
