Tiberiu-Marian Georgescu GM

Grandmaster Tiberiu-Marian Georgescu

Meet Tiberiu-Marian Georgescu, known in chess circles as Georgescu_Tiberiu – a name that strikes both intrigue and fear on the 64 squares of battle. Awarded the prestigious Grandmaster title by FIDE, Tiberiu is no stranger to tactical wizardry, long endgames, and the occasional dramatic checkmate that leaves spectators gasping (or laughing at the opponent’s misfortune).

Starting his blitz journey with a modest rating of around 1395 in 2015, Tiberiu’s rise has been anything but boring. His peak blitz rating skyrocketed to an impressive 2709 in early 2025, reflecting years of sweat, tears, and probably countless coffee cups spilled over scoresheets. Not content with just blitz speed, he also boasts a bullet peak of 2760, proving he can think fast enough to outmaneuver lightning itself.

With nearly 4,000 blitz games under his belt and a win rate north of 52%, Tiberiu’s preferred openings are shrouded in secrecy – quite literally! His most played line is listed as "Top Secret," and truth be told, only his closest opponents have glimpsed these moves without instantly losing. Among other weapons in his arsenal are the Indian Game Knights Variation and a few sneaky Modern and Caro-Kann defenses that keep challengers on their toes.

Beyond the numbers lies a player with a strikingly tenacious style. His comeback rate is a stunning 77%, meaning when the chips are down, he’s just getting started. And if you dare to capture one of his pieces early, beware – his win rate after losing material is nearly 48%. Conversely, he's shown a tendency to resign early about 14% of the time, so maybe he knows when to call it before the blunder. Endgames? Tiberiu’s forte, with a hefty 74% frequency of grinding out wins in the late phase of the game.

Fun fact: his best time of day to play is 5 AM – yes, while most people are still dreaming about winning a game, he’s busy making it a reality. His average game length hovers around 70 moves when winning, so patience and endurance are keys to outlasting him.
