Giya Bolkvadze - International Master Extraordinaire
Meet Giya Bolkvadze, an International Master who's been shaking up the chessboard since at least 2011. Known in some circles as bogia144, Giya is the kind of player who approaches chess like a marathon — with endurance, tenacity, and a dash of flair (and maybe a little caffeine).
Chess Journey & Style
With a blitz peak rating flirting with 2067 and a bullet max out at a speedy 1796, Giya has proven to be a force in both rapid fire and lightning rounds. Their playing style screams persistence: an average win comes after about 71 moves, and even in defeat, they stick around for roughly 81 moves — because giving up early just isn't their style. Talk about stamina!
Record & Rivalries
Giya boasts an impressive tactical awareness, sporting a stellar 88.65% comeback rate and an incredible 100% win rate after losing a piece. Opponents beware! With a longest winning streak of 15 games (and currently on a sweet 4-game streak), this player is on fire. Some opponents, like "xarra", "acatlin", and "rybatschok", have never seen Giya lose – 100% win rate all around. Meanwhile, a few unfortunate souls... well, let’s just say their win rates skew heavily in Giya’s favor.
Fun Facts
- White pieces yield a slight edge with a 60.52% win rate — proof that Giya likes their mornings bright and sunny.
- Playing at 6 AM yields a staggering 77.78% success rate — early bird definitely catches the chess worm!
- Known for resilience: less than 1.3% of their losses are humiliating one-sided affairs.
- The "Top Secret" opening is clearly not so secret anymore — with nearly 60% blitz wins across over 500 games, Giya has cracked the code.
Off the clock, Giya might relax, but when the stakes are high, they’re a puzzle master who refuses to quit early — except maybe when it’s late at night and the tilt factor hits 9 (everyone’s got their limits).
So, next time you face Giya Bolkvadze, prepare for a battle of wits, endurance, and the occasional surprise comeback — because giving up? Not on Giya's watch.
