Since 2016, Georgy has steadily climbed the ranks, with a passion for rapid chess that truly lights up the board. Though his blitz rating hovered around the mid-1400s for a while, his rapid games tell a story of both grit and flair, averaging around 1600+ in recent years.
Playing Style & Personality
