Early Days and Rise

Gigio24's rating history reads like a roller coaster ride, starting from the modest 135 in early 2023 Blitz bouts to surpassing 600 by mid-2025. In Rapid chess, their evolution is even more striking, with a peak rating soaring close to 895, showcasing a knack for deeper strategic battles. Daily chess also holds a special place, with a maximal rating of 969—proof that Gigio24 can slow down and strategize effectively when time permits.

With an average winning move count hovering around 53 and a loss average nearing 60 moves, Gigio24 does not shy away from lengthy, complicated battles. Their games often feature endgames with intricate maneuvers, as noted by a healthy endgame frequency rate of nearly 58%. And if you think patience isn't part of the repertoire, you’d be surprised by the low early resignation rate of just 3.6%—this player fights right till the end!

Their tactical prowess shines with an impressive 68.5% comeback rate—losing a piece isn’t the end for Gigio24; it’s a chance to strike back cleverly. Although win rates after material loss hover around 44%, the stubbornness to not give up keeps opponents on edge.

Favorite Openings & Strategies

Gigio24 prefers classic and reliable openings with a personal twist. The King's Pawn Opening features heavily in their games, with a respectable 51% win rate in Blitz and an even more commanding 60% in Bullet chess. Variations like the Scandinavian Defense - Mieses Kotrc Variation highlight their willingness to experiment while maintaining solid foundations.

Rapid games see Gigio24 thriving in the Alekhine’s Defense and the Petrov’s Defense, boasting win rates as high as 69% and 73% respectively, proving that even tricky defenses can become lethal weapons in their hands.

Their tilt factor—a measure of frustration affecting play—is modest, at 9 out of 100, proving that they keep cool even under pressure. Additionally, their win rate edges up when playing against lower-rated players, but the real challenge—and improvement—comes when facing superior opponents.
