Yağız Gallevci - Candidate Master and Tactical Wizard
Born to challenge queens and kings (the chess kind, of course), Yağız Gallevci, known online as letswin2, is not your average chess player. Earning the prestigious title of Candidate Master from FIDE, Yağız has built a reputation for a fearless, dynamic style that often keeps opponents on their toes – sometimes on both sides of the board!
With a peak bullet rating soaring to a thunderous 2738 in June 2021 and a blazing blitz peak of 2740 in August 2020, Yağız fears no time control. Whether it’s rapid, daily, or the ferocious bullet format, Yağız consistently unpacks strategic surprises akin to grandmasters but with a splash of spontaneous creativity. Their rapid peak rating of 2345 and a respectable daily apex just over 2000 show their adaptability across all forms of chess combat.
When it comes to openings, Yağız has a varied toolkit. Favorites like the King’s Indian Attack and the London System boast win rates north of 50%, proving it’s not just about flashy moves but solid foundations. The Indian Game - East Indian Przepiorka Variation might sound like a secret recipe, but Yağız’s near-even win-loss paints a picture of a well-refined weapon. Balanced and unpredictable, much like their incredible comeback rate of over 87%, they make losing pieces look like temporary hiccups.
Speaking of psychology, Yağız’s tilt factor is modest (13), which in chess terms means they’re as cool under pressure as a cucumber in a freezer. Their best playing hours are surprisingly early at 5 AM – perfect for morning blitzers or those craving checkmates before their first coffee. Average games last around 85 moves, which suggests a penchant for deep, drawn-out battles rather than quick skirmishes... unless the opponent really asks for it.
Statistically, Yağız’s wins and losses are closely matched in bullet and blitz formats, with 2299 wins and 2263 losses in bullet, and 1427 wins against 1441 losses in blitz. Draws pepper these stats too, demonstrating a fighter who’s either going all in or embracing the chess truce. Their record-breaking longest winning streak of 24 games shows just how hot the streaks can get before the inevitable run of 13 losses – hey, even legends have their dark days!
In fact, their most recent triumph came with a stunning win using the Caro-Kann Defense (Advance Van der Wiel Attack) where letswin2 forced their opponent to resign after relentless pressure. Even after recent setbacks, Yağız’s resilience is apparent, bouncing back fiercer than a queen’s direct attack.
A Final Word
Yağız Gallevci is the kind of chess player who combines fierce tactical assaults with deep strategic knowledge, all while keeping a sense of humor about the ups and downs of the game. Whether you’re facing a rapid-fire bullet game or a slow-burning daily duel, watch out – letswin2 is always plotting the next clever surprise, ready to claim victory with style.
