Piotr Goluch: The International Master of Cunning and Craft

Known in the chess world as Golus1992, Piotr Goluch proudly carries the title of International Master bestowed by FIDE—a badge earned through strategic brilliance and countless battles across the 64 squares.

Piotr’s chess journey is a tale of relentless dedication and occasional flair. His blitz rating peaked at an impressive 2486, while his rapid skills soared even higher, reaching 2529. Whether it's a lightning-fast bullet or a thoughtful rapid game, Piotr’s win rates reveal a player who knows how to keep his cool under pressure, boasting a 60.56% win rate in blitz and a stunning 87.5% in rapid when wielding his “Top Secret” opening repertoire. (Secret? More like an open book... for his opponents to envy!)

His knack for comebacks is nearly legendary, with an awe-inspiring 84.08% comeback rate and a perfect 100% win rate after losing a piece—clearly, Piotr thrives when the odds are stacked against him. You might call him the "comeback kid" of the chessboard. His longest winning streak? A jaw-dropping 25 games in a row, proving that once he’s warmed up, he's practically unstoppable.

Piotr doesn’t just play chess; he lives it. Known for an average game length hovering around 69 moves, he enjoys the long haul, savoring complex endgames that see him outwit opponents with patience and precision. Interestingly, his winning stats soften a bit on weekends and mornings, so if you ever want a shot at him, try booking a match for Tuesday at 9 AM—he’s particularly sharp then, winning about 76% of his games at that hour!

He’s battled a wide array of opponents, collecting wins (and some losses) with names both fierce and fanciful—though his record against "superdaneabc" is flawless, his encounters with "albertolr62" might need some analysis and improvement. His psychological resilience is solid, with a tilt factor of only 6, indicating he stays level-headed, even when the pressure mounts.

Whether facing off online or over the board, Piotr's style is a thoughtful blend of tactical acumen and endgame mastery. Don’t be fooled if he resigns early on rare occasions—that's less about surrender and more about saving energy for the next storm of moves.

In the grand chess symphony, Piotr Goluch continues to compose games full of drama, strategy, and that elusive spark of genius—making him not just a player, but a true chess artist.
