Endgames are his playground, occurring in nearly 80% of his games, demonstrating stamina and deep strategizing. On average, his wins involve around 84 moves, which means he enjoys the long haul and isn’t afraid of the grind. Despite a slightly higher win rate when playing as White (53%) compared to Black (49%), he's equally dangerous on both colors.

Tactical Wizardry & Psychological Edge

Notorious for spectacular comebacks, Erekle boasts an astounding comeback rate of 84%, charming opponents by turning the tables even after losing material — with a 49% success rate post losing a piece. The psychological battle is real, and sometimes his tilt factor hits 39, but who doesn't get a tough pawns-and-kings moment? His best time to wreak havoc is oddly at 3 AM - stay alert if you’re gaming with him after midnight!

Favorite Openings

• Blitz: Unknown Opening at almost 5,750 games (win rate ~50%) and a fondness for the French Defense with nearly 70% win rate.

Epic Battles: The Latest Conquests & Challenges

One of Erekle’s recent daily victories on May 23, 2025, saw him masterfully maneuver the Queens Pawn Opening against a much lower-rated opponent, winning on time - patience is a virtue, especially when you’ve got the clock ticking down and a keen strategic eye. However, not every story ends in a fairy tale; recent losses in tough live chess duels remind us even grandmasters have off days (or moments they wish to forget). His merciless opponents have included sharpshooters like GP9isback23 and Makswolf200817.
