Meet Vladislav Gontcharov
Vladislav Gontcharov, also seen as vladgoncharov, is a National Master who lists rapid chess as his preferred home. Jealous, because his actual online life has been one long blitz expedition. He has played thousands of well-earned moves, taking down friendships and clocks with equal cheer.
The Clock Climber
Vladislav walks into the 20th move and casually rolls onward until his opponent sees an endgame with no exit. He reaches a real endgame in nearly 88% of his battles, and he has proven that a 30-win streak is possible before breakfast. That climb is just visible when you lay his blitz years on a page:
The Opening That Feeds Him
If there is one favorite dish, it is the French Defense. He has played it hundreds of times, both as the defender and in the Exchange and Advance forces. He also enjoys the King's Indian Defense as a setup to outplay his opponents in closed centers. His win distribution by opening is surprisingly healthy:
Rivals and Repeat Meetings
Online chess can feel lonely, but not for someone with a proper rival list. 777_j_o_k_e_r_777 is his dearest villain, with 239 games played head to head. tony_kroos_genius also features often, while vasya_pupkin is proof that playing the same player forever can lead to a healthy 69-9 score. These are cold war dynamics, packed with draws and drama.
Small Numbers, Big Character
Early mornings are his best chess time: the data says 06:00. He is resilient after losing a piece, he plays comebacks, and he often makes the first major check of the game. His peak rating in blitz, around 2771 (2026-03-31), stands as a friendly warning to every player who checks his profile before pressing the clock.
