Giorgi Margvelashvili - Grandmaster and Blitz Wizard

Giorgi Margvelashvili, affectionately known in the chess circles as Fingolfil, is a Grandmaster with a penchant for speed chess that would make even the fastest rooks dizzy. Since bursting onto the scene in 2014 with a Blitz rating just over 2400, Giorgi has turbo-charged his way to an astonishing peak Blitz rating near 3000 — a number that probably caused FIDE servers to break a sweat.

Chess Style & Strengths

With an average game length of around 84 moves before victory and an impressive 92% comeback rate, Giorgi embodies the gritty fighter who never gives up. His ability to win every game after losing a piece is the stuff of legend—clearly proving that losing material is just a minor inconvenience for him. White pieces bring out his aggressive side with nearly 50% win rate, but watch out, even with Black, he holds a respectable nearly 44%.

Speed Demon – Bullet and Blitz

Gryphon of the lightning-fast battlegrounds, Giorgi has racked up thousands of Blitz and Bullet games. In Blitz, he boasts over 2000 wins out of nearly 4800 games—sometimes winning streaks stretched to 26 consecutive games, which he modestly calls "a casual afternoon." Bullet chess is where he shines brightest, winning more than half his games and smashing through opponents with an electrifying rhythm.

Memorable Opponents

Facing foes like "daeneryst" over 300 times and besting longtime rivals such as "gordonwinter," Giorgi has proven time and again that he thrives in war of attrition and speed-tested duels. Opponents beware: if your username ends with "gm" or "chess," chances are Giorgi has your number.

Quirky Tidbits

  • Absolutely unstoppable at 6AM and 1PM, boasting win rates over 55% at these quirky hours.
  • Morning player? Giorgi commands a 60% win rate at 9 AM, proving coffee isn't the only way he wakes up sharp.
  • Despite a tilt factor of 12, his psychological resilience means he bounces back to "checkmate" moods quickly.
  • When Giorgi resigns early, it's only about 0.5% of the time. Mostly, he fights until the last pawn screams.

Summary

Giorgi Margvelashvili isn’t just playing chess; he’s redefining the art of digital battleground blitzkrieg! A resilient tactician, a bullet maestro, and a bar-raising Grandmaster who conquers queens, bishops, and kings alike—often before breakfast. If chess were a sport of speed and precision, Giorgi would be the Usain Bolt with a chessboard strapped to his back.
