Georgi Orlov - International Master Extraordinaire
Known in the chess universe as 2KTNGO, Georgi Orlov has carved out a reputation as a relentless and tactical International Master, wielding a chessboard like a grandmaster of ancient battles. With a FIDE title to his name and a blitz rating soaring as high as 2656, Georgi dances through games with the grace of a knight and the cunning of a queen.
Chess Career Highlights
- Titles: International Master
- Blitz Peak Rating: 2656 (2023)
- Rapid Peak Rating: 2499 (2021-2024)
- Known For: Endgames - Georgi loves to drag it out, boasting an impressive 82.4% frequency of endgame scenarios and an uncanny average of nearly 74 moves per win. Persistence is his middle name!
Playing Style & Psychological Edge
Georgi’s games are a marathon, not a sprint. His early resignation rate is a modest 3.14%, meaning he almost never gives up early—unless, of course, it’s a trap set to lure opponents into a false sense of security. His comebacks? Legendary, with an astounding 90% comeback rate and a perfect 100% win rate after losing a piece. Opponents beware!
Record & Rivalries
With nearly 670 blitz games under his belt in a notably secretive opening strategy, Georgi’s 59.7% winning rate is proof that practice absolutely makes perfect. Rapid games tell a similar story, with an even sharper win rate of 63.8%. While not everyone escapes unscathed, his longest winning streak of 20 games shows the fierce momentum he can build.
Fun Facts
- His daily chess play may be modest, but he keeps a perfect undefeated bullet game record. Speed demons, beware!
- Wins come at all hours, but with a 100% win rate in the mysterious witching hours of 7 and 8 AM, perhaps Georgi is the rumored chess vampire awakening with the dawn.
- Whether Monday blues or Saturday chess fever, Georgi’s win rates hover impressively high, with an 88.89% success rate on Mondays.
- He seems to be a fan of “Top Secret” openings—if only we knew what those moves really were!
In the world of chess, where every pawn can be a hero and every queen a villain, Georgi Orlov plays the game with a blend of strategy, stamina, and a sprinkle of mystery. Expect his pieces to move with purpose, his endgames to be battles of wit, and his opponents to be left wondering if they just faced a chess wizard in disguise.
Hi Georgi!
Great work in your recent blitz sessions – your fighting spirit and creativity really stand out. Here is a concise review of your current form, followed by a practical action-plan for the next few weeks.
What’s already working
- Dynamic, flexible openings. With White you’re alternating between 1.d4/1.Nf3 systems and achieve lively pawn-breaks such as b4 or f4 (see the rapid attack in the win vs. Bekaeasycool). Your opponents rarely equalise comfortably.
- Tactical alertness. You often spot intermediate moves (zwischenzug) and “hidden” resources (e.g. 27.Rxf5!! in the win vs. vovachesss).
- Active rook play. In many endgames you double or swing rooks to the seventh rank with good conversion rates. Keep leaning on this strength.
Key areas to focus on next
- Time management. Four of your last five losses were on the clock when the position was still playable (e.g. vs. AlexeiShirov). Aim to reach move 25 with ≥45 sec. by cutting long thinks in familiar structures.
- Handling Caro-Kann & Bogo structures as Black.
- In the loss to LikeWater the …g4/h5 advance was premature and weakened dark squares.
- Against Iskusnyh the …Nc6 Bogo line was playable, but 18…Nd4?! allowed a strong passed pawn. Review practical options like …Re7 & …Rd7.
- Converting material edges. When two pawns up you occasionally chase more pawns instead of centralising the king (see Diagram after 32…Kd4?? vs. LikeWater). A quick mental checklist – king, rook activity, passer – will help you close games efficiently.
Illustrative snapshot
The critical moment from your loss vs. Iskusnyh:
Instead of 18…Nd4?! you had the quieter 18…Qd7! keeping the centre closed and preparing …Rad8. Try analysing this line with an engine for 10 minutes – it’s a useful template.
