Giga Quparadze - Chess Grandmaster Extraordinaire
Meet Giga Quparadze, a Grandmaster of the 64 squares who doesn’t just play chess – they conquer it. Rated as high as 3077 in Blitz (yes, that’s beyond human, or so we think) and boasting a Bullet peak near 2880, Giga’s fingers must have the speed of a caffeinated squirrel.
With a career peppered by thousands of battles — over 14,000 Blitz games alone! — Giga blends tactical genius with unwavering psychological resilience: sporting an impressive 89.92% comeback rate, they’ve turned near-defeat into art more often than your average chess artist sells paintings.
Giga’s opening repertoire is as secretive as a spy’s dossier, aptly named “Top Secret”. Among their specialized arsenal, they wield the Caro-Kann Defense like a finely tuned instrument, winning 100% with certain variations (because why not?). Their favorite moment to strike appears to be late at night around 11 PM, proving even chess Grandmasters believe in after-hours magic.
Not immune to the occasional stumble, Giga’s longest winning streak is an epic 19 games, but even the mightiest have faced a 15-game losing streak. Luckily for fans and foes alike, Giga bounces back with tenacity and grace.

A Recent Masterpiece

Whether blitzing through with a wicked combo or slowly strangling the opponent’s defenses, Giga Quparadze proves chess is as much a mental marathon as a sprint – with an undeniable flair for making it look fun.
Chess isn’t just a game for Giga — it’s an epic saga played at lightning speed.
