Georgios Alexandros Kouskoutis (aka alexkous2000)

Meet Georgios Alexandros Kouskoutis, a FIDE Master who dances gracefully on the chessboard, often making opponents wonder if they've stumbled into a game of wizardry rather than strategy. Known in chess circles (and probably on coffee breaks) as alexkous2000, Georgios has been climbing the ranks with a blend of tactical brilliance and the stubbornness of a Greek philosopher refusing to accept defeat.

Georgios is no stranger to the blitz battlefield, hustling through thousands of rapid-fire games with a peak blitz rating soaring near 2660 — which might as well be chess for "chess god" status. His bullet rating isn’t far behind, hitting highs over 2600, proving that speed and precision are his trusty allies. Rapid chess? Oh yes, Georgios commands that arena too, flirting with 2580 elo at his peak, all while making tricky openings a “Top Secret” weapon in his arsenal.

A strategist with patience, Georgios boasts an average game length of about 76 moves when winning — because quick checkmates are for mortals. And if things look grim, don't discount him: his comeback rate is an eye-popping 89%, with an almost unstoppable 99% win rate after losing a piece. That’s like losing your keys in a house and still making it out for dinner on time.

His psychological resilience could give Zen monks a run for their money, sporting a tilt factor of only 13 (apparently, he’s better at keeping cool than some world leaders). Georgios loves Monday and Saturday games the most, and playing blitz mostly in the afternoon hours feels like his secret timing—whether your rook or your rookies, better watch out then.

With a spirit as fiery as his Greek heritage, Georgios blends deep endgame knowledge (often playing into the night with an 82% endgame frequency) with lightning speed. Whether it's facing human opponents or crushing chess engines with names like "computer3-hard," he continues to stack wins with a win rate over 51% in blitz and a delightful 77% in daily chess.

Off the board, rumors say he might be plotting a chess-themed food truck or simply perfecting his "I was just testing you" smile after daring sacrifices. One thing's for sure: Georgios Alexandros Kouskoutis is the type of player who not only plays chess but lives it — Checkmate, anyone?
