GMVar - The Grandmaster with a Mysterious Opening Repertoire
Meet GMVar, a Grandmaster whose blitz prowess is nothing short of legendary—peaking at an astonishing 2716 FIDE blitz rating in early 2016. Starting out in 2013 with a modest blitz rating around 1184, GMVar bulldozed their way upwards with over 100 blitz games analyzed, maintaining a blistering 73% win rate using a repertoire quaintly labeled "Top Secret." Yes, the secrets to their success are truly locked away tighter than a king caught in a mating net.
They have a knack for rapid-comeback magic, winning over 85% of games where the tide initially turns against them, and an enviable 70% win rate after losing material—clearly, the phrase "lost a piece? No problem!" is their unofficial motto. GMVar plays long, strategic battles, averaging 66 moves for each win and nearly 98 moves when the storm clouds gather in losses; evidence that giving up early is simply not in their chess DNA.
Tactically sharp, psychologically resilient (tilt factor of 4—low enough to remain chill but high enough to remind us they’re human), GMVar favors the sweet spot of 2 pm to outwit opponents and scores astounding win rates on Thursdays, and most afternoons including the tricky 9 pm hour.
White pieces tend to bring out their most ferocious streak, boasting a 76%+ win rate, while even with Black, they keep opponents on their toes with nearly 70% victories. They seem to adore endgames too, playing them in about 76% of their matches—probably plotting multiple ways to funnel their pawns into victory.
But every hero has their Achilles' heel. GMVar's kryptonite comes against the aptly named "lorcho," where their win rate drops miserably to zero. Hikaru fans may also feel relieved with a mere 16.7% loss rate against this titan.
