Viktor Gazik - Grandmaster of the Chessboard
Viktor Gazik, also known by the username Funo09, has gracefully evolved through the kingdoms of chess, proudly wearing the prestigious Grandmaster title bestowed by FIDE. A true biological marvel of the game, Viktor has adapted and thrived in multiple "ecosystems" including Blitz, Bullet, Rapid, and even Daily chess, proving that evolution favors the well-prepared!
From Pawns to Predators
With Blitz ratings soaring from a rookie 1959 in 2018 to a ferocious 3033 by 2025, Viktor displays a metabolic rate on the board that most prey dare not approach. Their tactical DNA includes a comeback rate of nearly 87% and a flawless 100% win rate even after losing a piece — talk about cellular regeneration on a chessboard! Even when under "attack," this grandmaster’s resilience is the stuff of evolutionary legend.
Speed and Precision: Bullet and Blitz Mastery
Viktor’s bullet games are a blinking double helix of rapid-fire brilliance, reaching a max rating of 3001 and demonstrating a win rate north of 68%. Blitz play is Viktor’s natural habitat, where a vast "population" of over 2,200 games showcases a 70% win rate, rivaling the most efficient neural networks this side of the 64 squares. Their longest winning streak of 51 games alone could be considered a phenotypic adaptation to competitive pressure.
The Art of the Endgame & Psychological Fortitude
An endgame specialist with nearly 80% frequency, Viktor’s games are often a masterclass in strategic cellular apoptosis — trimming options and carefully navigating until only the strongest remain. Their tilt factor remains low at 6, which means this grandmaster keeps a steady "homeostasis" even in the heat of battle, balancing psychological stress like a zen-like biologist summoning calm within chaos.
Social Behavior and Opponents
Viktor maintains a diverse "ecosystem" of opponents ranging from rising stars to seasoned veterans. They show particular dominance against players like tplovetiramisu and aryantari, boasting perfect win records—a true apex predator! Though sometimes vulnerable, this grandmaster adapts choice moves faster than enzymes catalyze reactions.
Quirky Facts
- Average moves per win: 75 – a steady march of biological precision.
- Average moves per loss: nearly 90 – because even the fittest sometimes stumble.
- White pieces win rate: 72.3% – dominance from the evolutionary high ground.
- Black pieces win rate: 68% – proving that even the underdog cell counts.
- Early resignation rate: a mere 1.05% – never quick to abandon the fight.
In the grand biosphere of chess, Viktor Gazik is a rare specimen: adaptable, cunning, and ever-evolving. With every game, this grandmaster replicates strategies at an unmatched rate, forever mutating tactics and outsmarting competitors. Truly, a creature both of science and art—one whose moves will echo in the annals of chess biology for generations to come.
Hi Viktor, here’s a tailored review of your recent blitz sessions
1. What you’re doing well
- Dynamic piece play: Your victories often feature energetic pawn breaks ( …g5 in the Pirc, …b5 in the French) that unbalance the position and create practical problems for the opponent.
- King-safety awareness in opposite-side castling: In your latest win you recognised that 11…g5 & 12…h6 would keep White’s king in the centre long enough to seize the initiative.
- Conversion in technical endings: The rook-and-knight coordination in the diagram below shows clean technique once you were a pawn up.
2. Recurring problems that cost you points
- Loose moves around move 15–20 (often in both colours). In your loss versus Houdinovic’s Sicilian you played 13.Qd2–14.♔O-O-O too mechanically and allowed …Ne4 followed by …Bxc5, surrendering the critical dark-squared bishop.
- Over-extension on the kingside in the French structures: the sequence 23.f4 24.Rad1 25.f5 left your own king short of defenders and Black’s counter-strike …c3/…Nd4 was decisive. When your pawn storm stalls you need a plan-B (switch wings, improve worst-placed piece).
- Time management: you routinely reach positions with <20 s and no increment, even when objectively winning. Blitz will always be fast, but burning 40 s on a single tactical line (e.g. 26…c3!? in the French loss) is too much.
3. Opening map
| With White | Observation | Action |
|---|---|---|
| Closed Sicilian / Anti-Sicilians | Score is solid, but you drift into passive structures vs …b5/…b4. | Insert the thematic c2–c3 break earlier & study model games by Giri. |
| Kings-Indian Attack vs French | You get attacking chances, yet miss tactical shots (see 22.Nxg6!) only half the time. | Add a short tactics warm-up (5 puzzles) before each session. |
| 1.e4 d6 Pirc (Black) | Excellent feel; scored 3-0 this week. | Keep repertoire – just update vs the Austrian Attack. |
4. Practical fixes for the next 10 days
- Blitz drills: play three 3-minute games daily focusing on moving with >10 s reserve after every move 15+. Track with .
- Critical moment routine: Each time the position first opens (pawn break, exchange sacrifice), stop for 5 seconds and ask “What is my opponent’s next threat?”. This single habit will cut the blunders found in your most recent loss.
- Endgame refresh: 20 minutes on king+rook vs king+rook-pawn endings. They arose twice this week and could have been cleaner.
5. Long-term growth suggestions
• Integrate engine review only after your own analysis – this keeps calculation muscles sharp.
• Add one classical game per week to maintain deep-thinking stamina.
• Study capstone themes such as zwischenzug and fortress-breaking to convert more advantages.
Snapshot
Current peak: 3033 (2025-03-16).
Most common opponent recently: Shiyam Thavandiran.
Tactical accuracy: trending upward, but consistency needed around moves 20–30.
Keep pushing!
You’re clearly in GM-form when the initiative is yours. By tightening up mid-game decision-making and clock usage you’ll convert more of these promising positions. Let’s aim for a +65 % win-rate in the next block – I’ll be watching the games and charts.
