Tryfon Gavriel — Candidate Master of the Chessboard

Meet Tryfon Gavriel, a formidable force in the realm of chess with the prestigious title of Candidate Master awarded by FIDE. If chess were a battlefield, Tryfon is the general who’s mastered both the art of blitz and bullet duels, wielding openings like secret weapons and dazzling opponents with tactical wizardry.

Starting in the digital trenches back in 2007 with a modest daily rating around 1500, Tryfon’s journey is a rollercoaster of ups and downs, peaks and valleys, and occasional unexpected backflips (looking at you, that 959 low in 2010!). But don’t be fooled by the humbling moments; that same player blasted their bullet rating to an electrifying 2750 in 2010, proving lightning-fast reflexes and killer instinct go hand-in-hand.

Not one to shy away from rapid-fire action, Tryfon boasts over 12,000 bullet games with nearly half of them ended in victory. A blitz enthusiast as well, they maintain an impressive 65% win rate when wielding their "Top Secret" opening repertoire. (We promise we won’t tell.)

Known for a staggering comeback rate of 91%, Tryfon turns apparent defeats into epic triumphs, demonstrating nerves of steel and the heart of a champion. When a piece goes missing, the win rate remains a perfect 100% — clearly, Tryfon plays like a chess ninja who never surrenders, even when the odds look grim.

Off the board, some say Tryfon’s got an 18% tilt factor, meaning they get a little grumpy in defeat’s shadow. But with a current winning streak of 15 games, it’s safe to say those moments are fleeting and mainly fuel the fire for greater glory.

Whether playing white or black, Tryfon maintains almost equal success, making no difference which side they command — just pure chess artistry across the board.

So if you ever face Tryfon Gavriel, better bring your A-game — because this Candidate Master doesn’t just play chess, they live it!
