Kiarash Ghorbani
Meet Kiarashghorbani, a chess warrior who navigates the 64 squares with a mix of cunning, perseverance, and a dash of unpredictability.

Rating Journey & Style
Kiarash’s rating has seen its fair share of ups and downs, peaking at a rapid rating of 594 in September 2020 and a blitz peak of 538 the previous summer. These peaks highlight bursts of brilliance, although the journey also includes spirited bouts of defeat — a true testament to fighting in the trenches where every piece and pawn counts.
His playing style reveals a courageous tactician who doesn’t shy away from endgames, with over 53% endgame frequency. Beware his comebacks: Kiarash turns adversity into opportunity with an impressive 69% comeback rate when trailing — proving he’s never out until the final move. Not one to surrender quickly, his early resignation rate sits modestly at 12.7%, underscoring resilience even in tough positions.
Anecdotes from the Board
Kiarash’s average game length hovers around 52 moves, long enough to develop strategies but short enough to keep spectators on the edge of their seats. His psychological game is interesting: mornings around 8 AM are prime time for him, boasting nearly a 58% win rate, so if you’re challenging him early, bring your A-game!
Victory has often come via resignation or timeout—meaning his opponents frequently throw in the towel or run out of patience faster than the timer runs out on Kiarash. His longest winning streak of 6 stands as a solid badge of honor, though like every player, some rough patches and losing streaks (up to 8 in a row) reveal the tough, humbling reality of chess.
