Goran M Todorovic - The Grandmaster Known as "gorato"
Born from the fiery depths of the chessboard battlefield, Grandmaster Goran M Todorovic, known in the online arena as gorato, stands as a formidable force in the chess world. With a peak blitz rating soaring above 2700 and bullet games conquered with a 2573 top rating, gorato blends brilliance with speed, unleashing tactical fireworks before opponents have even caught their breath.
Goran's chess journey is nothing short of a rollercoaster. Master of reversals and comebacks, boasting a remarkable 91.29% comeback rate, gorato dives into complex positions with a grin, pranking fate by flipping games on their head. With an early resignation rate of just 0.61%, few see Goran throw in the towel early — resilience is an art form here.
A tactician who thrives under pressure, Goran has an average of 68 moves per win, suggesting that patience and strategic depth accompany the blazing speed. Whether wielding the nimble London System or the fearsome Sicilian Defense Open Dragon (with an 80% win rate in that sharp line!), gorato doesn't just play openings — they master them.
Not just a numerical marvel, Goran's psychological resilience shines through despite a tilt factor of 10 (hey, even grandmasters get a bit of nerves). Their best games unfold late at night and early morning (peak performance around 7 AM with a jaw-dropping 61.9% win rate!) — a modern night owl of the chess realm.
