Ivan Galic - International Master Extraordinaire
Meet Ivan Galic, a chess virtuoso who proudly wears the title of International Master bestowed by FIDE. If chess were a battlefield, Ivan would be the commander who somehow manages to keep a poker face while simultaneously plotting thirty moves ahead.
Ivan’s rapid chess journey is nothing short of a rollercoaster - starting in 2019 with an 875 rating in rapid and rocketing to a steady 2281 from 2022 onwards. With nearly 300 rapid victories under their belt, it seems winning isn't just a hobby, but a way of life. Blitz and bullet formats tell a similar tale, with max ratings peaking in the mid-2600s - proving that Ivan’s fingers are just as fast as the brain.
With a longest winning streak hitting an astonishing 30 games, Ivan doesn’t just play chess – they dominate. Not to mention their comeback rate of 87% and a perfect 100% win rate after losing a piece, Ivan clearly never loses hope... or material advantage for long.
Ever the strategist, Ivan often plays very long games, with average winning and losing games hovering around 75 moves. This suggests a penchant for endgames - a true battlefield for the patient chess warrior. The stats reveal a strong preference for white’s subtle attack too, winning almost 60% of the time.
Psychologically, Ivan’s tilt factor is a modest 24 – occasionally shaken but mostly unflappable. The biggest evidence? A 17.8% higher win rate in rated matches compared to casual play, showing they love the challenge when the stakes are high.
Fun fact: Ivan’s favorite hours to conquer opponents are between 10 AM and 4 PM, when the win rates soar above 75%! Seems like a morning coffee and a chessboard is the secret formula. Also, Tuesdays and Thursdays are special – they boast win rates over 70%, making those days the “Ivan Galic takeover” days.
In more casual circles, watch out for opponents with quirky usernames like "adverturouscat" or "trashydude" – Ivan has encountered these challengers many times and holds commendable win rates against them. However, the zero-win records against some players remind us that even IMs have their kryptonite.
In summary, imivangalic is a force to be reckoned with – a tactical genius wrapped in a calm demeanor, blending steadfast determination with some serious endgame expertise. Whether it's rapid, blitz, bullet, or daily games, Ivan’s passion and perseverance make for some unforgettable battles on the 64 squares.
