Gabriel Curi (aka Gabcur) - FIDE Master

Meet Gabriel Curi, a chess warrior whose journey through the 64 squares is as fascinating as a thriller novel. Known in the chess realms as Gabcur, Gabriel earned the prestigious title of FIDE Master, proving that not all heroes wear capes—some just carry a chess clock.

Since 2013, Gabriel has been sharpening their skills in bullet, blitz, and rapid chess, often playing at lightning speed that could give a caffeinated squirrel a run for its money. From an initial bullet rating of around 1200, they soared to a peak near 2250, flashing brilliance and resilience with a knack for comebacks and tactical plays.

Gabcur’s blitz performances are nothing short of gladiatorial battles – over 29,000 games played with a solid win rate close to 48%, proving endurance and passion aren’t exclusive to marathoners. In rapid chess, Gabriel shows even more finesse, boasting a commendable 60% win rate, combining deep strategy with speed.

When it comes to style, Gabriel prefers the fight to last: their average winning game stretches to about 73 moves, showing persistence and a strategic mindset, while the endgame is their playground, with a frequency above 80%. Yet, beware—an early resignation rate of just 0.35% means rarely giving up without a fight.

Psychological resilience is another of Gabcur’s weapons. With a comeback rate topping 89% and a perfect 100% win rate after losing a piece, this player turns adversity into opportunity - even if the chess gods occasionally attempt to tilt the scales, Gabriel’s tilt factor stays relatively low at 12.

Outside the board, Gabriel’s favorite opponents range from "jovansigma," who sadly fall 100% of the time, to a more friendly sparring partner "axle2017" with a respectable 66.67% win rate—a mix of fierce rivalry and mentorship.

Whether it’s bullet where every second counts, blitz full of tactical fireworks, or rapid where strategy reigns supreme, Gabriel Curi remains a formidable and entertaining figure in the chess world—part virtuoso, part relentless competitor, and all heart.
