Davit Petrosian GM

Davit Petrosian - Grandmaster Extraordinaire

Meet Davit Petrosian, a chess virtuoso who has proudly earned the prestigious Grandmaster title from FIDE. With a keen eye for tactics and a reputation for relentless endgames (he dives into endgames nearly 82% of the time!), Davit's chess style is a fascinating blend of patience, persistence, and precision.

Davit's chess journey is a rollercoaster of epic wins and instructive losses. His bullet rating peaked at a blazing 2568 in mid-2014, proving he's lightning-fast on the board—if only his reflexes could handle his caffeine intake! He’s also no slouch in daily games, boasting a top rating over 2300. His blitz peak was a solid 2149, while rapid play saw him reach over 2080. Clearly, Davit can adapt to multiple time controls with the grace of a grandmaster and a touch of swagger.

Known for a comeback rate of 86.45%, Petrosian displays phenomenal resilience, often turning the tables after losing material. An impressive 60% win rate even after losing a piece is a testament to his resourcefulness and tenacity. However, don’t be fooled—he rarely throws in the towel prematurely, resigning early only about 1% of the time, showing respect for the battle until the very end.

Davit's psychological stats reveal an interesting trait: his best time to conquer the chess board is around 11 PM, when the stars (and perhaps some midnight snacks) align in his favor. Despite an occasional tilt factor (because even grandmasters have their "please-no-more-mistakes" moments), his spirit remains unbroken on the 64 squares.

Playing Style & Favorite Openings

With a penchant for deep, strategic battles, Davit’s average winning game stretches over 75 moves, while a loss can see a grueling ~87 moves. His white pieces are particularly lucky, with almost 64% win rate, but even as black, he maintains a formidable 60% victory record. His opening repertoire is top secret (well, mostly), but the numbers tell a story of a player who thrives in complex positions and outmaneuvers his opponents.

Record Highlights & Noteworthy Opponents

Having played thousands of games, Davit has faced many foes, with his most frequent opponents being ddnos (137 games) and gmjoey1 (126 games). He proudly holds down a positive win rate against many, including impressive 100% win records versus several challenging opponents—which probably makes those lucky few question their life choices!

Recent Memorable Game

One of Davit's latest glorious victories was a beautifully executed checkmate against Ripper11 on July 28, 2014. This classic Scotch Game ended with Davit’s patient maneuvering and killer finishing move, proving his mastery at translating strategy into success. You can relive the brilliance here: Game Link.

Though every champion faces setbacks, Davit's losses often serve as lessons; his recent defeat to stepanosinovsky was a hard-fought battle lost on time, reminding us even grandmasters can be victims of the clock gods.

Fun Fact

Davit's longest winning streak was an astonishing 32 games — a hot streak that could make even Magnus Carlsen consider taking a coffee break.

In summary, Davit Petrosian is a calculated storm on the chessboard: resilient, strategic, and occasionally unpredictably brilliant. A grandmaster who combines skill, stamina, and a little bit of midnight magic—just don’t challenge him past 11 PM unless you want to test your nerves alongside your chess skills!
