Georgios Gkoumas (GG91) - International Master
Meet Georgios Gkoumas, known to the chess world as GG91, an International Master whose bullet rating rockets past 2600 — a speed that would make even the most caffeinated grandmaster gulp. Starting modestly at around 1085 in early 2018, Georgios quickly revved up, smashing through the 2500+ barrier within months and maintaining elite status with a peak bullet rating of 2654 in early 2025. If chess were a race, GG91 would be the hare with a blitzclock strapped on!
Georgios isn’t just fast; the tactical prowess is impressive. With an extraordinary comeback rate of nearly 90% and a knack for winning even after losing a piece over 60% of the time, GG91’s games are less “resignation” and more “revival tour.” The opponent might think they've nabbed a pawn, but GG91 is already two moves ahead, plotting checkmate with the kind of sly grin that would make chess sets shiver in their boxes.
Speaking of checkmate, did we mention Georgios ends games quickly? The average win clocks in at around 71 moves, while losses drag on a bit longer — perhaps a sign that GG91 fiercely fights to the last pawn and all. And when it comes to choosing the battlefield, bullet games are a personal playground with over 650 bullet games recorded under the mysterious “Top Secret” openings (the actual moves are secret — don’t ask).
Blitz and rapid chess are no strangers either. Georgios boasts a 58.8% win rate in blitz with a peak rating of over 2530, and a perfect 3-for-3 rapid win streak suggests they’re equally adept when the clock slows down — but why would anyone want to slow down when you’re that sharp?
The man behind GG91 is a paradox of calculated aggression and psychological resilience, complaining of a slight “tilt factor” (hey, even IMs have off days), but thriving best at 1 PM sharp — the sweet spot between lunch and a well-earned chess nap.
