Robert Aghasaryan - Grandmaster Extraordinaire
Known in chess circles (and chess chatrooms) as GMChessrob, Robert Aghasaryan is a Grandmaster whose blitz reflexes could give even the fastest bullet players a run for their money. From humble Daily beginnings with a rating barely above 1400 in 2018, Robert’s journey through the ranks has been nothing short of a rollercoaster — except the kind with way more checkmates and way fewer screams.
A Turbocharged Chess Career
Robert dazzles particularly in blitz and bullet formats, boasting max ratings of 2726 in blitz and a blistering 2784 in bullet. His win record reads like a thriller novel: over 2,700 blitz wins, nearly 600 bullet victories, and an unshakable spirit that produces a comeback rate of 82%. Lose a piece? No worries — Robert converts his tactical awareness into a nearly perfect 99.41% win rate after such setbacks, clearly showing that GMChessrob is no stranger to turning the tables.
The Openings Aficionado
When it comes to openings, Robert loves to get tricky. The Sicilian Defense Open Najdorf English Attack is his fortress in blitz, boasting an outstanding 76.36% win rate over 55 games. In bullet, he wields the Alekhines Defense Scandinavian Variation like a ninja with an 87.5% win rate — not for the faint-hearted! For rapid games, he isn’t shy to mix it up either, especially shining with the Sicilian Najdorf English Attack at a cool 75% win rate. You'll want to keep an eye on him in tournaments because he is as unpredictable as a squirrel on espresso, yet precise as a Swiss watch.
Style & Personality
Robert’s style combines tactical genius with psychological resilience. With an early resignation rate of about 12%, he’s stubborn and fights hard, averaging roughly 65 moves per win—because why finish early when you can make it dramatic? White pieces bring him a slight edge with a win rate of 53.56%, while black is no slouch at 43.52%. Fun fact: his best hours to strike are mornings and early evenings (ratings suggest 8 AM to 7 PM), so catch him while his mind's freshest!
Record-Setting Streaks
With a longest winning streak of 39 games and a current streak still going strong at 4 wins, Robert proves that consistency and energy are an unstoppable combo. Opponents beware: he’s beaten some players 100% of the time and is known for his tenacity — in fact, his tilt factor of 41 shows he gets frustrated, but then channels it into even fiercer play.
Final Checkmate
Ultimately, Robert Aghasaryan is not just a Grandmaster; he's a chess storyteller weaving epic sagas on 64 squares, one swift move at a time. Whether it’s blitz, bullet, or rapid, he’s a player to watch — and one who might just challenge your queen while you’re blinking.
