David Gochelashvili
International Master of Chess
Meet David Gochelashvili, a chess virtuoso known in the online realms as kudesnik84. Awarded the prestigious title of International Master by FIDE, David’s chess journey is a tale of steady ascent, strategic mastery, and occasional blunders that keep things interesting.
From Humble Beginnings...
Starting with blitz ratings just over 1000 in 2016, David quickly showed the world that slow starts don’t hold him back. By 2017, his blitz rating soared to nearly 1900, and by 2025 he’s climbing past an impressive 2400. Such growth is the dream of every weekend warrior — or nightmare for their opponents.
A Force in Fast-Paced Games
David’s true playground is the fast time controls. His blitz and bullet records showcase not only speed but impressive consistency: a blitz winning rate of over 63% across 266 games and bullet victories in just over 50% of 303 fights. Don’t blink — he might have already taken your queen.
Playing Style & Strengths
- Tactical Wizardry: Known for a stunning 82% comeback rate, David never gives up, bouncing back even when down material.
- Endgame Expert: With nearly three-quarters of his games featuring intense endgame battles, his patience and precision often see him through.
- Balanced Performance: Whether wielding the white or black pieces, he maintains a solid win rate above 56%, proving no color holds secrets from him.
- Psychology Matters: A moderate tilt factor of 7 keeps him human enough to relate, but focused enough to avoid catastrophic mood swings.
Record Against Rivals
David has faced a wide array of opponents, with mixed results against some but flawless records against others — notably undefeated against purusottamchaulagain and mirochka. Some opponents might even be considering a career in table tennis.
Fun Facts
- David’s longest winning streak clocks in at 15 games — enough to make anyone suspicious of chessboard witchcraft.
- He’s more likely to win on Monday and Saturday, historically scoring over 60% on those days — perhaps a testament to fresh-start energy and weekend warrior power.
- Average game length? Around 66 moves per win, so don’t expect quick checkmates... David enjoys the marathon, not the sprint.
In short, David Gochelashvili is the kind of player who's as strategic as he is spirited, turning defenses into attacks and speed into an artform. Whether online or over-the-board, his chess tale is unfolding with the grace and grit befitting an International Master.
