A Tactical Gladiator

With nearly 43% win rate after losing a piece, this player’s resilience is impressive — sometimes even baffling to opponents. Probably why Gev101 is not afraid to dive headfirst into complicated positions.

Champion of Comebacks, Master of the Late Game

When it comes to finishing matches, Gevorg often prefers checkmate (222 wins) or forces resignations gracefully (206 wins), clearly favoring a clean and satisfying victory rather than just sneaking a timeout win.

Off the Board – The Fun Side

Known fans have noticed that Gevorg’s best times to play are oddly around early morning hours — perhaps fueling those brilliant moves with coffee, or simply confusing opponents with unexpected alertness at 4 AM.
And let's not forget a modest tilt factor of 24 — meaning even when luck isn’t quite on the side, Gev101 manages to keep cool most of the time. Or at least tries to.

Just recently, Gevorg sealed a stunning checkmate victory in a Giuoco Piano game against the formidable AndreM16, showcasing sharp calculation and timing. Facing setbacks is no stranger either — losses by resignation and checkmates happen, but with undeterred spirit, our player always comes back stronger.
