With a rating peak of an impressive 2623 in Blitz (August 2024), Vladimír brings a fierce and methodical approach to the 64 squares, often blurring the line between strategic genius and tactical wizard.
Beginning his online blitz journey in 2018 with a modest 943 rating, vladoboch quickly sharpened his blades, slicing through opponents to reach the 2600+ club in a matter of years. His style?
