Boris Grachev GM

Boris Grachev: The Grandmaster of the Chess Kingdom

Meet Boris Grachev, a Grandmaster in the vast ecosystem of chess, where every piece and position tells a tale of tactical prowess and mental endurance. This chess maestro has evolved like a rare specimen, with a blitz rating soaring up to an impressive 3003 at his peak and bullet ratings creeping close to the 3013 mark—definitely no rook-ie move here!

Over the years, Boris has amassed more than a thousand wins in blitz alone, showing a win rate hovering just under 60%, revealing a player who’s sharp and fast, much like the swift strike of a venomous snake in a biological metaphor. His bullet games are just as lethal with a win rate exceeding 60%, and his rapid format play is nothing to sneeze at either, boasting over a 56% win rate.

This grandmaster's style is a fascinating study in chess biology: he thrives in complex endgames (89.34% frequency), weaving intricate strategies over an average of 88 moves to victory. Don’t be fooled by early losses—Boris’ comeback rate is an astonishing 91.61%, and when he’s down a piece, his win rate magically jumps to 100%. Now that's extraordinary adaptability, almost Darwinian in its effectiveness!

Psychologically, Boris displays resilience with a tilt factor of 6, which means even if the pressure mounts, he keeps his cool—a vital trait in the natural selection arena of competitive chess. His average moves per win and loss hint at a patient “predator” excelling in long, strategic battles rather than quick skirmishes.

Fascinatingly, his preferred hunting grounds—a.k.a. days and hours—show a peak win rate on Mondays (66.67%) and during the early morning hours (around 0:00 to 9:00), suggesting he might be a night owl who transforms into a morning champion.

With a longest winning streak of 65 games and currently riding a 2-game streak, Boris continues to stalk the chessboard with predator-like instincts and a playful spirit. Whether facing familiar foes or new challengers, he proves time and again that his chess “genes” are finely tuned for survival and dominance.
