About gXiah: The Relentless Gambit Enthusiast
Since bursting onto the online chess scene in 2017, gXiah has been a whirlwind of tenacity, tactical surprises, and a sprinkle of mayhem on the 64 squares. With a peak rapid rating of just over 1000 back in March 2017, gXiah showed early promise, but chess is a marathon, not a sprint — as their rollercoaster rating graph from highs in the 1000s to more modest sub-600 games in 2025 proves. Keeping opponents on their toes seems to be the real game!
Playing Style & Personality

With a longest winning streak hitting 9 games and a heartbreaking losing streak toppling at 10, this player truly knows both ends of the emotional spectrum: from elation to "Why did I even do that?!?"
