Igor Goldenberg - International Master

Meet Igor Goldenberg, a chess virtuoso who proudly holds the title of International Master granted by FIDE. Igor is not just any player; he's a seasoned gladiator of the 64 squares, blending tenacity with tactical wizardry.

Career Highlights & Playing Style

Igor's journey through the ranks is marked by a relentless dedication and a knack for rapid comebacks—boasting a staggering 91.92% comeback rate. His games often end after deep battles averaging around 78 moves, reflecting his love for the endgame, which he reaches in nearly 85% of his matches.

Whether wielding the white pieces with a shining 58.4% win rate or defending the black side with a respectable 50.57%, Igor's strategic depth is undeniable. He isn't one to throw in the towel early, resigning prematurely less than 0.4% of the time—a testament to his fighting spirit.

Rating Rollercoaster

From a promising start in 2013 with a blitz rating just shy of 2,000, Igor steadily climbed the ranks, peaking with a daily rating reaching 2,592 in 2019. His blitz prowess peaked impressively at 2,515, showcasing fast-paced brilliance, while his rapid rating soared to 2,528 in 2016—the year he seemingly mastered the clock as well as the board.

The Opponents’ Nemesis & Secret Openings

Igor’s secret weapon? An enigmatic opening repertoire enigmatically titled "Top Secret," proving effective across all formats. This stealthy toolkit has netted him over 2,000 wins in blitz alone, with a solid win rate hovering above 54%.

Opponents beware: while some competitors have managed to keep Igor at bay, many face a near-perfect record of defeat against him. Some lucky few have even seen their fate sealed with 100% loss rates, hinting at Igor’s psychological edge and mastery over his rivals.

When Does Igor Strike?

If you ever want to catch Igor in action, Sunday and Saturday are his prime days, boasting win rates soaring past 55%. Late evenings at 21:00 and 17:00 hours seem almost unbeatable for him, claiming perfect win records in those slots — perhaps he’s a chess vampire, thriving as dawn approaches!
