Gulrukhbegim Tokhirjonova: The Chessboard’s Witty Warrior

Meet Gulrukhbegim Tokhirjonova, a formidable Woman Grandmaster who doesn’t just play chess — she makes the 64 squares her playground. With a tactical mind sharper than a queen’s bite and a psychological resilience that could withstand even the most notorious chess tilts, Gulrukhbegim has dazzled opponents worldwide with her artistry and fierce determination.

Rating Rollercoaster & Peak Power

Her peak blitz rating soared to a mind-boggling 2869 in August 2023, and if you thought that was impressive, her bullet rating peaked at a thrilling 2760 just this year. Rapid play sees her dancing near 2442 — enough to give any timekeeper a workout!

Playing Style: Endgames, Endgames, and… More Endgames

Gulrukhbegim embraces the grind, with an endgame frequency of 86.4% — basically, if it comes down to the final moves, she’s probably setting a trap. She tends to win her games in just under 80 moves and loses a bit longer — about 90 moves — suggesting she fights for every last pawn and square. Her comeback rate? A whopping 86.24%. For Gulrukhbegim, “losing a piece” is just the start of the story, not the end!

Opening Secrets and a Dash of Mystery

Known for her preference in “Unknown Opening” and “Top Secret” plays, she’s kept more secrets on the board than a spy thriller. With a blitz win rate of over 51% in the mysterious “Unknown Opening”, opponents never quite know what’s coming next. And a nearly 58% win rate in her “Top Secret” blitz repertoire means it’s no accident — she’s got tricks up her sleeve.

Psychological Insights and Quirks

Despite a tilt factor of 9 (yes, she admits to having off days), Gulrukhbegim often shines brightest in the early morning hours around 8 AM — perhaps fueled by coffee, optimism, or both. Playing on weekends seems to bring out her best, with Saturday win rates peaking near 57%. When the clock strikes 8 AM, beware: this WGM is ready to pounce.
