Cedereanimus

Before anything, I have a brief message for players, especially ones rated 0-2100, who ocasionally happen to win vs me (2334) in 1+0 minute, unrated bullet and go right after 1:0 score. You are not better than anyone after one game. Same as I am not better than CM, FM, IM, GM players I happen to beat in bullet. I was more focused and/or more lucky at the moment and that`s literally it. If you go because you need to, because of obligations or because you truly respect your opponent and think game could went different - that`s fine, but if you decline because you`re consciously or subconsiously thinking you are better after one game, you will likely never make significant progress as a player - because you are not true to yourself and you delude yourself. There are also special kind of players, who (totally unprovoked) on top of this chose to ask to chat and mock/provoke you after they win or cry after they lose. That`s a lowest behavior of the lowest and is a big reason why I muted chat and messages. Do not try harassing me, you won`t be able to, I accept messages only from my friends and I can send it only to my friends. I`m not stating I`m perfect and I never flamed in my life, but at least I`m admiting my previous behavior and I`m doing better now. If you are nervous, take a walk, go to gym, don`t trashtalk over keyboard, it`s plain sad.

P.S: To players who push h pawn in opening, play Bongcloud, keep playing while totally outplayed (for example 10 vs 20 seconds, king and 2 pawns vs 2 rooks) or ridicule the game and/or disrespect me in any way, I most likely won`t give rematch because they aren`t worth one. My behavior towards opponents is reciprocal.

Now, for the rest of respectful players. This is a summary of my chess ``career`` so far, summary of my personal strivings, my beliefs and values I want to cherish as a chess player and human. If you came here with an open mind, because you are somehow interested in my bio, welcome! But, if you came here because you’re mad, kindly read last few sentences of the first section once again, and go away.

Chess beginnings and goals

I am 26 yr old from Serbia. Been playing chess on and off for more than 10 years for sure. I started somewhere during primary school, 3rd or 4th grade I believe, and few years later I already became champion of primary schools in my city with maximum score - 11/11. I`m not sure who was the first to teach me to play chess in the beginning. It could be my father, uncle or sister. One thing is sure tho – my uncle, who is a very strong chess player as well, awoke interest in me for getting better at chess. As I mentioned earlier, chess has always been a part of my life, I could play it every day for 2 weeks and then I could not play a single game at all for like 2-3 months. Nonetheless, chess is always on my mind. I often solve puzzle rush even if I am not playing games, to keep my edge. I also like to watch streamers like Hikaru, Gottam chess, Eric Rosen, and Botez sisters.. I follow world chess championships religiously, and I tend to become even better than I am today. My ultimate goal is to become FM and chess streamer one day. 

Significant games

To name few of my significant games so far (although I haven`t played many tournaments in RL): I beat Marko Milanović (in non-official tournament in-game board club d20. I beat him when he was 8 years old. Even then, he was the national champ for his age category, and he was already beating people much older than him. Since then, he was the national champ more than 10 times even for age categories much higher than his).

I also managed to draw a game with WFM Irena Nestorović, in my first-ever appearance in a fide-rated tournament. 

As for other significant games, I managed to beat Andrea Botez in 1 minute bullet game: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l7A-D3L3W3g&t=9601s  My game starts at 2:17:53. I also played 2 bullet games vs GM Ben Finegold. I lost both of them but I gave decent resistance, especially in the second one.

Prefered time format, playstyle

I believe I`m quite fast player, very resourceful as well. I prefer playing unrated bullet games at the moment, but hopefully I will go back to learning and practising chess and playing more useful formats.
