Vojtěch Plát: Grandmaster Extraordinaire
Meet Vojtěch Plát, a chess Grandmaster whose moves are as sharp as his wit. Awarded the prestigious title by FIDE, VojtechPlat has been carving his niche on the chessboard with a combination of strategic mastery and tactical flair.
Born to confound opponents and charm chess fans, Vojtěch’s journey through the ranks has been marked by steady climbs and occasional slips. With a peak blitz rating touching the mythical 3000 in mid-2020, his lightning-fast calculations often leave adversaries wondering if he has a secret chess engine wired into his brain. (Spoiler: he doesn’t, but his endgame technique might just be magic.)
Speed Demon & Tactical Beast
Blitz is where Vojtěch truly shines. With over thousands of games played and a near 50% win rate, he's sailed through battles where every second counts. His bullet and rapid results demonstrate resilience — he emerges often victorious, even after tricky positions where pieces are lost — boasting a comeback rate that would make a phoenix blush.
A Maestro of Openings… (Some Secret, Some Not So Much)
While many players reveal their favorite openings like a deck of cards, Vojtěch has some classified maneuvers labeled “Top Secret,” where he has played 42 rapid games with a respectable win rate. Yet, he also dips into classics like the French Defense Tarrasch with panache, not shying away from the battlefield with the Sicilian variations and Queen’s Pawn Openings.
Legend on the Board, Human on the Clock
Vojtěch’s psychological profile admits a tilt factor of 28 — so yes, even Grandmasters sometimes grumble when the clock runs low. But with an average of 83 moves per win and a staggering 86% frequency of endgames, this Grandmaster's nerve endurance is impressive. His best hours to strike may surprise you — early morning chess at 2:00 AM seems to fuel his sharpest plays. Night owls take note!

Fun Fact
Despite the intense nature of his craft, Vojtěch’s games sometimes read like a suspense thriller—long streaks of wins followed by periods of soul-searching losses (28 games lost in a row once, yikes!). But never fear, he’s always ready to return to the fray with renewed vigor and a twinkle in his eye.
In a nutshell, whether blitz, rapid, or bullet, Vojtěch Plát is an electrifying force on the chessboard — ready to outwit, outplay, and occasionally outlast with a style uniquely his own.
