Guanchu Liu - International Master Extraordinaire
Guanchu Liu, holding the prestigious title of International Master from FIDE, is a chess warrior whose blitz prowess borders on legendary. With a blitz rating peaking at an astonishing 2695 in 2021, Guanchu has blitzed past many opponents faster than you can say "Checkmate!"
Starting from humble beginnings with a blitz rating near 1346 in 2016, Guanchu’s rapid climb up the rating ladder shows the master’s dedication, resilience, and perhaps a secret stash of chess caffeine. Known for an impressive longest winning streak of 31 games, Guanchu clearly knows how to keep the streak alive—and maybe how to keep opponents hoping for a coffee break.
But dive deeper and you'll discover a player with a tactical mind as sharp as a grandmaster’s knife. Guanchu boasts a 98.7% win rate after losing a piece, proving comebacks aren't just possible—they're likely. The game is rarely over until it’s over, and with Guanchu on the board, that cliché isn't just empty talk.
While blitz is Guanchu’s battlefield, they excel impressively in rapid and bullet too, with bullet wins making up close to 70% of games played in that format. And in rapid chess, Guanchu maintains a formidable win rate exceeding 57%. Guanchu also doesn’t shy away from lengthy battles, frequently engaging in endgames (over 70% of the time) — patience of a grandmaster, nerves of steel, and moves averaging nearly 70 per win.
Psychologically, with a tilt factor of just 8 and impressive ability to bounce back, Guanchu keeps calm under pressure and treats setbacks as mere puzzles to solve. Opponents beware: even when things look bleak, Guanchu’s comeback rate of over 86% means it's never safe to relax.
Their playing style is pragmatic and resilient, with a tendency to resign early only about 5% of the time—because why give up if there’s still a chance to send your opponent hunting for their queen?
As for opening secrets? Well, Guanchu plays so many games (thousands!) with a mysterious arsenal labeled "Top Secret" — perhaps the best-kept secret in the opening book world, contributing to a stunning 59%+ win rate in blitz. What those openings are? That’s classified.
Off the board, Guanchu Liu probably enjoys classic chess humor: "Why did the chess player bring a ladder? To reach the top of the opening theory!" In any case, their record speaks for itself—a true master ready to conquer the next challenge, one move at a time.
