Zoran Petronijevic - International Master Extraordinaire
Meet Zoran Petronijevic, known to online foes and friends alike as zoranpe. A tenacious and tactical International Master certified by FIDE, Zoran enjoys stealthily clocking jaw-dropping blitz ratings peaking near 2800 in 2024—a speed chess ninja, if you will.
With a blitz arsenal boasting nearly 2000 games, Zoran’s win count exceeds a thousand, proving resilience and stamina are chief virtues. When the bullets fly (literally, the chess variants), Zoran still dominates with a solid 52% win rate using the elusive Top Secret opening—because mystery is a move even grandmasters embrace.
Zoran’s rapid games show a bit more human vulnerability, fluctuating from a pristine 2400 rating to a surprising dip in 2025, perhaps distracted by Netflix or existential chess questions like “To castle or not to castle?”
Playing Style: Patience, Precision, and the Occasional Early Quit
Averaging over 80 moves per win and a keenly high endgame frequency (86%), Zoran is basically the chess equivalent of a marathon runner—slow and steady wins the race, unless of course the coffee runs out. But don’t mistake patience for passivity! A comeback rate close to 91% and a perfect 100% win rate after losing a piece make Zoran a nightmare come true for opponents counting on complacency.
Psychological Profile
Tilt factor stands at a modest 11, showing that while Zoran sometimes tilts, it’s just charming enough to stay human. Kick it into overdrive on Tuesdays and Saturdays, where win rates hover in the mid-50s, making those days prime for challenge or, from Zoran’s perspective, target practice.
Opponent Dynamics
Zoran is undefeated against some and equally baffled by a few – for instance, opponents like “final_fantasy02,” “bilan_danila,” and “rexomnibusfaex” have all been given the perfect 100% loss rate. Others, like “ginorick” and “amincheraghi99,” manage to sneak in wins, possibly due to Zoran’s experimental moods or a lucky coffee spill.
Fun Facts
- Longest winning streak: 11 games (because greatness loves company).
- Current winning streak: 3 games (Zoran’s just getting warmed up).
- Average moves per loss are higher than wins, suggesting stubborn battles even in defeat.
- Known for early resignation in just about 23% of games — sometimes discretion beats valor!
Whether you face Zoran behind the board or online arenas, expect a clever blend of speed, strategy, and a dash of humor. After all, chess is serious business, but losing with style counts just as much.
