Корюн Гюламирян (Gyulamiryan-koryun) - Candidate Master
Meet Корюн Гюламирян, a chess warrior officially titled as a Candidate Master by FIDE, who navigates the 64 squares with a mix of determination and unpredictability worthy of a grandmaster in the making. Known in the online chess universes under the tag Gyulamiryan-koryun, Корюн has built an impressive profile across Blitz, Bullet, and Rapid formats.
Rating and Style
Корюн's peak ratings speak volumes: a blistering 2378 in Bullet (late 2023), a solid 2240 in Blitz (early 2025), and a commendable 1963 in Rapid. Not bad for someone with a love-hate relationship with time—often flourishing before dawn at the mystic hours of 4:00 AM, the best time to conjure tactical fireworks.
His approach is a blend of endurance and flair: an average of 71 moves to win and resilience tough enough to clutch a comeback in over 83% of games where he was down material. However, the battle is never over, with a somewhat notorious streak of emotional ups and downs—a tilt factor of 16 is his personal Everest!
Performance Snapshot
- Over 1000 wins in Blitz, playing the mysterious 'Top Secret' opening, with a win rate of ~43% — not quite AlphaZero, but who is?
- Bullet games show a wild ride: 519 wins, 794 losses, yet still an impressive top bullet rating flirting with 2400.
- Rapid chess is Корюн's true domain of dominance with nearly 60% wins, overshadowing many with his strategic depth.
Playing Personality
The serious stats hint he’s no quitter: only 1.71% early resignation rate and relishes endgames almost 80% of the time, proving he’s the type to duke it out till the final piece drops. Whether the clock ticks away or the pressure mounts, he knows when to press, and when to concede gracefully.
Despite his prowess, Корюн is not without quirks — a loving nemesis of timeouts (with hundreds of losses on time!) and a believer that mornings are for winners (or at least for solid moves).
Recent Battles
Корюн's most recent victories are tales of tactical brilliance, winning by checkmate and resignation alike — showing he can both outplay and outwit opponents in tight spots. A recent checkmate victory at time control 600 seconds per side is proof his knights and bishops dance beautifully on the board's stage.
Rivals and Records
A competitor who loves rivalry, Корюн has played some opponents dozens of times, including koroldimitriy75 (24 battles), shawngringo1992_inactive (21 battles), and eldores2007 (18 battles), never backing down from a challenge.
His win rates vary wildly against foes, with some opponents suffering a perfect record of defeats, others managing to snag some wins. This wide variability only adds to the drama that follows every game of Корюн.
In Sum
Корюн Гюламирян is a player who might not always have the highest rating, but surely is a crowd favorite for his fighting spirit and willingness to tango with fate across bullet and blitz. Armed with a Candidate Master title and a cheeky grin, Корюн reminds us all that chess is as much about resilience and personality as it is about moves and points.
Expect him to keep climbing, surprising friends and foes alike, and occasionally losing on time but never losing his love for the beautiful game.
