Lela Javakhishvili - The International Master with a Tactical Flair
Meet Lela Javakhishvili, an International Master recognized by FIDE, whose chess journey reads like an epic saga filled with battles, comebacks, and a sprinkle of humor. Lela doesn’t just play chess; they live it, breathe it, and occasionally charm their opponents with mind-boggling tactics and a grin while doing it.
Starting with a bullet rating rocketing from the modest 1041 in early 2020 to a staggering peak above 2600 in blitz and bullet formats, Lela has shown the fierce resolve of a chess warrior. Whether darting through 60-second games or calmly maneuvering in rapid matches, their win rates are nothing short of impressive — boasting a nearly 54% win rate in bullet and a majestic 79% in rapid games!
Fun fact: Lela once embarked on a winning streak so intense it could make a grandmaster sweat – a breathtaking 50 consecutive wins. That’s not just skill; that’s chess sorcery.
Known for endgame mastery (with almost 87% endgame frequency) and uncanny tactical awareness (a jaw-dropping 100% win rate after losing a piece), Lela is the kind of player who makes “sacrifices” look like carefully orchestrated masterpieces. Opponents quickly learn it’s futile to try to rattle Lela; their tilt factor is a mere 8, proving calm nerves and resilience under pressure.
Lela’s style? Patient, enduring, and precise — averaging 75 moves per win, proving that patience is indeed a virtue. And if you face them playing White, better bring your A-game: Lela’s white pieces score a comfortable 59% win rate. Black pieces? Not too shabby either at 54%.
Off the board, you might catch Lela plotting their next brilliant opening move or laughing at the irony that their highest wins happen on Fridays (62.79%)—perhaps a weekend warrior, but chess every day.
Opponents beware: Lela Javakhishvili is not just playing chess; they’re playing mind games—and usually winning.
