Georgui Kastanieda GM

Grandmaster Georgui Kastanieda

Meet Georgui Kastanieda, a formidable Grandmaster whose blitz chess prowess has catapulted him to an impressive peak rating of 2703 as of July 2024. With a name that sounds like it could belong to a cunning spy or a secret agent, Georgui certainly plays with a mysterious edge — especially when wielding his favorite secret weapon: the enigmatic Top Secret opening, boasting a stellar 68% win rate over 150 games.

Georgui’s blitz journey began modestly back in 2014, with a humble rating hovering around 1400. But don’t let those numbers fool you! By 2018, his rating skyrocketed, breaking the 2500 barrier and continuing upwards to surpass the 2700 mark just recently—a level where the air gets thinner and the stakes higher. This rise is punctuated by an enviable longest winning streak of 12 games and a current streak of 6, showing that when Georgui is on fire, he's practically unstoppable.

Known for his resilient tactical awareness, Georgui has an incredible 82% comeback rate after setbacks and manages to snatch victory even after losing key pieces more than 64% of the time. Clearly, giving up is not in his vocabulary—though his tilt factor of 3 hints that even he might occasionally mumble some less-than-polite words when things don’t go his way.

With an almost perfect 100% win rate against numerous opponents and an average blitz win game length close to 66 moves, Georgui is not a player to be rushed. Early resignation? No chance here—his early resignation rate is a grand 0%! Instead, he enjoys the grind, extracting wins from deep, strategic endgames nearly 79% of the time. For Georgui, chess is a marathon, not a sprint.

When asked about his best time to play, Georgui confidently points to 14:00, where his brain apparently lights up like a Christmas tree. His wins peak during afternoons and early evenings with a noteworthy 100% win rate in games played from 13:00 to 16:00 hours—and an astounding 87.5% success at noon.

Beyond stats, Georgui’s games reflect a refined style balancing patience, precision, and psychological resilience. Whether dismantling opponents by checkmate, resignation, or patiently playing out complex positions, his record speaks volumes: over 102 blitz wins against 33 losses and 15 draws in his career so far.

His latest masterpiece was played just this July against Alex108108, where Georgui, wielding the White pieces, orchestrated a strategic symphony leading to a graceful resignation by his adversary after 31 intricate moves in the Indian Game, Knights Variation.

In short, Georgui Kastanieda is the definition of a modern Grandmaster with a flair for thrilling blitz battles, a knack for comeback victories, and enough chess secrets up his sleeve to keep even the most seasoned opponents guessing. If you see him at the board, beware: this chess ninja might just turn your king into a mere spectator.
