Playing Style & Stats
With an average of 77 moves per win in serious fights, Giorgio loves a marathon rather than a sprint—although in Bullet, el_sporco can blitz like a tumbleweed on fire, fighting till the last nanosecond!
His win rate shines especially when playing with the white pieces, boasting almost 50%, while black pieces still command a respectable 44% win rate. Early resignation? Barely – just about half a percent, proving Giorgio is not one to quit, even when the odds look grim.
The Tactical Beast
When moments get tough, Giorgio’s tactical awareness kicks in with a comeback rate near 89%—a nail-biting resilience that can make opponents rue every captured pawn.
Falling behind after losing a piece? No problem! His win rate after such setbacks is still a robust 45.6%, and his one-sided loss rate is a measly 1.3%, showing the discipline and fighting spirit of a true chess warrior.
Psychological Profile
Beware the tilt factor of 9 – an occasional fiery response can be expected when the computer gods are not on Giorgio's side.

Signature Moves & Openings
Despite using a few “Top Secret” openings (shrouded in mystery and probably some ancient chess wizardry), Giorgio also dabbles confidently in classics:
King’s Pawn Opening - Kings Knight Variation, Alekhine’s Defense (Maroczy Variation), and the Caro-Kann defenses are sprinkled in with sublime mastery and occasionally a daring twist.
Recent Triumph
On May 31, 2025, Giorgio sealed a spectacular victory against “Samlasa” with a swift and poetic checkmate in a King’s Pawn Opening - Kings Knight Variation game. Witness the thrilling finale here.
