Giorgi Kordzaxia: The Blitz Maestro with a Tactical Touch

Meet Giorgi Kordzaxia, a chess player whose blitz rating journey is as thrilling as a rollercoaster ride — though with fewer screams and more checkmates. Starting in 2014 with a modest blitz rating of 1780, Giorgi has blitzed his way to an impressive peak of 2402 by 2025. That’s a climb worthy of admiration…and maybe a few yells of “Check!” from opponents still trying to catch up.

Giorgi’s style is a masterclass in resilience and cunning. With a staggering comeback rate of 87.87% and a perfect 100% win rate after losing a piece, he’s the kind of player who turns a blunder into a brilliant reversal faster than you can say “stalemate.” It’s like watching a chess Houdini escape from every tricky position — if Houdini had a chessboard instead of chains.

His games tend to be long affairs, proving he enjoys the mental marathon: around 70 moves per win on average! No quick draws here.

Favorite Openings? The Usual Suspects… with a Twist

• French Defense Winawer Advance Variation: Played 672 times with a respectable 49% win rate, showing Giorgi’s love for complex pawn structures and tactical skirmishes.
• Catalan Opening Closed: Surprisingly, this quieter strategic line is Giorgi’s best win percentage (52.6%) among popular openings, proving he can keep calm and carry the game to victory.
• Modern Defense and Pirc Defense: Both offer solid but dynamic play, with near 47-49% win rates, perfect tools for a versatile blitz player.

The Bullet and Rapid Scene

Though primarily a blitz wizard, Giorgi dips his toes in bullet and rapid waters. His bullet rating reached a high of 1798 in 2024, and he’s known for some striking bullet performances, wielding openings like the Danish Gambit and Nimzowitsch Larsen Attack with flair and occasional reckless abandon.

Rapid chess is less frequented by Giorgi, but when he does play, he shows flashes of brilliance — even if the win rate doesn't quite match his blitz prowess.

Playtime Preferences

Giorgi isn’t a night owl — his best chess hours are during the day and early evening, peaking at 49.36% win rate around 11 AM and late afternoon sessions. Weekends offer slightly less winning mojo, but with chess on the brain, who’s counting?

Psychological Profile

With a tilt factor of 17, Giorgi tries to keep his cool, though sometimes emotions sneak in. The good news? His streaks include a longest winning run of 15 games — enough to feel invincible before facing reality (or a stronger opponent).

Fun fact: Giorgi’s rated vs. casual games win difference is about -12.87%, which maybe suggests he enjoys the thrill of faster-paced, high-stakes blitz a little more than casual slow games. Or maybe casual players don’t realize who they’re messing with!

In summary, Giorgi Kordzaxia is a fierce blitz competitor armed with tactical wizardry, the patience of a saint, and a penchant for openings that make his opponents think twice. Whether clawing back from losing pieces or calmly building a position, he personifies what it means to be a modern chess gladiator — with just enough humor to remind us all that losing is just part of an epic chess saga.
