Meet G C, The Tireless Strategist of the Chessboard

G C, known online by the fearsome username older_old, is the embodiment of persistence and passion in the blitz and bullet arenas. Diving into the fiery chaos of fast-paced chess since 2011, this player has logged thousands of games, showing a remarkable love for tactical skirmishes and endgame duels.

Throughout the years, G C has danced with the Modern Defense and the Indian Game like a grandmaster in training, frequently employing the former with about 4,500 games under their belt! But don’t let the numbers fool you—these statistics hide a player who’s no stranger to swings of fortune, boasting a peak blitz rating of 2130 achieved in 2017.

With an average game finishing in around 76 moves when winning—and even longer when the bitter sting of defeat bites—G C is clearly not a quitter. Speaking of quitting, the early resignation rate is a humble 1.85%, proving that even when the chips are down, seven of every eight games get a full workout.

There’s more: G C’s remarkable comeback rate approaches 85%, indicating a fearless temperament and a knack for turning the tables just when the opponent starts feeling comfy. This tactical sharpness is backed by a win rate of over 41% even after losing a piece—clearly, G C knows how to make lemonade out of a blunder.

Off the board, G C is perhaps the most active opponent you've never met. Having tangled frequently with fellow combatants like snookie_p, speedyrook, zeegeex, and brewfoo, this player has developed a penchant for playing steadily with a White win rate of 44% and a solid Black win rate of 42%.

When the clock hits noon (“Best Time Of Day To Play: 12:00”), G C seems ready to light up the board – a quirky little psychological trend perhaps indicating a “lunchtime power-up” pointer everyone else should note.

Favorite Time Control? Classic bullet, of course, with a peak bullet rating of 1592, where G C zips around the board faster than the coffee brewing for the midday break.

In games, expect an intricate strategic battle with a slow burn — after all, with a high endgame frequency of 88%, G C loves grinding out wins when others might shove pawns trying to make a quick checkmate. And if the going gets tough, G C rarely throws in the towel early, sticking to the plan and trusting that persistence wins.
