Kevin George - International Master of Chess
Meet Kevin George, or as he's known in the chess circles and the occasional internet tavern brawl, KevinGeorgeMicheal. This International Master, officially titled by FIDE, is not just a player; he's a blitz-battle-hardened warrior with a knack for turning pawns into nightmares for his opponents.
Chess Career & Achievements
Kevin's journey through the chessboard galaxy has been nothing short of meteoric. Starting in 2019 with a Blitz rating bouncing around 1420-1570, Kevin quickly accelerated and hit a peak Blitz rating of 2768 by April 2025. To put that in perspective, that's a level where computers start sweating and grandmasters start playing cautiously!
Not limited to just Blitz, Kevin also dazzles in Bullet and Rapid formats — reaching peaks of 2789 in Bullet and a respectable 2106 in Rapid. His blitz win record is particularly impressive, totaling over 1,700 wins.
Playing Style & Personality
If chess had its own rock concert, Kevin would be the headliner known for endurance and dazzling comebacks, boasting an extraordinary 80.2% comeback rate after losing material. Seriously, Kevin could lose a queen and still find a way to win—like a chess phoenix rising from the ashes.
He's a strategic cat with a playful side, notably favoring 'Top Secret' openings (a trendy way of saying, 'You'll have to figure this out yourself'). His French Defense dipped its toes into the Kings Indian Attack, yielding a spicy 60% win rate, and his Sicilian Defense variations keep foes guessing whether the move comes from a book or pure madness.
Stats That Tell a Tale
- Average moves per win: 71.7 (because he enjoys a good fight)
- White pieces win rate: 55.9%
- Black pieces win rate: 50.8%
- Longest winning streak: 29 games (that's almost a whole tournament spree)
- Known for rarely surrendering early with a mere 4.5% early resignation rate: Kevin plays to the bitter end
Fun Facts & Trivia
His best time to play? The mysterious early morning hour of 2:00 AM—because who needs sleep when you can checkmate? King safety and tactical opportunism define his games, but don't mistake him for a one-trick pony.

Recent Battles on the Board
