Cedereanimus

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 27 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 club d20, when he was very young tho). I also managed to draw a game with WFM Irena Nestorović, in my first-ever appearance in a fide-rated tournament. I also managed to play quite decent game (I drew) vs Dejan Tasev who played simulataneus game vs 10 players: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IAFV6-YNjFg

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.
