Zviad Izoria – Grandmaster Extraordinaire
Meet Zviad Izoria, a chess Grandmaster whose tactical wits on the 64 squares could make even Magnus pause for thought. Known in the digital arena as Izoria123, this chess virtuoso blends strategic brilliance with a touch of flair that keeps opponents guessing—and often resigning.
Since earning his prestigious Grandmaster title from FIDE, Zviad has dazzled the chess world with a peak blitz rating soaring up to a heart-stopping 2928 in mid-2020—a rating so high it's rumored to cause chessboards to spontaneously combust (not scientifically proven, but hey, it’s plausible).
Style, Strategy, and Sweet Victories
Izoria123 is not just a chess player; he’s a force of nature. Mastering openings like the Modern Defense, English Opening Agincourt Defense, and the Sicilian Defense OKelly Venice System, his win rates in blitz and bullet formats often hover around a formidable 60-70%. Opponents beware: with a comeback rate above 80% and a knack for turning losses into wins, Zviad plays with the charm of a phoenix rising from the ashes.
His games often end by resignation, a polite way opponents say, "I give up, you’re just too good." He’s also a fan of the endgame, with over 76% of his games reaching those intense final moments where legends are truly made.
Psychological Warfare & Playing Hours
Zviad’s psychological resilience is top-notch, with a tilt factor of just 10. He seems to perform best when the clock strikes 3 PM, making afternoons the perfect time to watch him crush challengers or force blunders with breathtaking moves.
Fun fact: Zviad has an avg move count per win around 69, which in chess terms means he’s patient, calculated, and able to squeeze every bit of advantage from each position. But don’t mistake patience for passivity — he has also boasted a longest winning streak of 40 games, proving he can turn on the heat like no other.

- A razor-sharp victory with the Slav Defense Modern Quiet Variation where he made his opponent resign after a masterfully orchestrated positional squeeze.
- A swift triumph in an English Opening Fianchetto Ultra-Symmetrical Line game, finishing with a crushing attack that left his opponent no choice but to concede.
