Avital Boruchovsky - Grandmaster of the Chessboard
Meet AvitalBor, a chess Grandmaster whose maneuvers on the 64 squares are as sharp as a knight’s fork and as elegant as a queen's gambit. With a peak blitz rating soaring to an impressive 2944, Avital has demonstrated an extraordinary blend of tactical awareness and endgame mastery that few can rival.
Chess Journey & Style
Rising through the ranks with a fearless attitude, Avital’s playing style is a captivating combination of deep endgame knowledge and a fearless tactical approach. Known for an 88.65% comeback rate, they rarely throw in the towel — unless it’s to preserve dignity (or their opening book!). When it comes to early resignations, though, a modest rate of 0.73% suggests Avital prefers to fight till the last pawn falls.
With an average of nearly 80 moves per win, matches involving Avital aren’t quick skirmishes but full-scale battles where strategic planning and psychological endurance reign. Despite the occasional tilt factor of 10 (hey, even GMs have their “off” days), Avital’s performance at dawn hours (best time: 5 AM) shows dedication – or maybe a penchant for sleep-deprived brilliance.
Achievements & Notable Stats

Recent Battles on the Board
Avital’s recent games read like a saga of brilliance. For example, in a recent encounter with Schaefchen1984, Avital clinched victory by resignation employing the French Defense Schlechter Variation — a testament to precision and patience. Though defeats happen (after all, Magnus Carlsen is on the opponent list, and no one wins all the time), Avital’s resilience shines through with vigorous comebacks and strategic depth.
Fun Facts

In short, whether it’s blitz, rapid, bullet, or daily chess, AvitalBor is a formidable tactician, a strategic thinker, and a worthy adversary. Keep an eye on this Grandmaster — the chessboard is their kingdom, and every move is part of a grand adventure.
Recent Performance Overview
