Rating rollercoaster & stats
Sopiko’s blitz rating peaked at a sizzling 2664 in 2019, with a current solid standing around 2418 as of 2024. Bullet enthusiasts might be surprised by a top rating of 2141 in 2021, while their rapid games reveal a fighting spirit even in fewer matches, reaching up to 1815.

Playing style & quirks
With almost zero early resignations, Sopiko battles through the endgame about 77% of the time, averaging around 73 moves per victory. Talk about stamina! Interestingly, they have a 100% win rate after losing a piece and a 94% comeback rate – proving they don’t give up easily, even if the chips are down.
White pieces seem to bring a little extra luck with a 55% win rate, while black remains a close contender with 47%. And while their psychological tilt factor is relatively low at 7, rated matches surprisingly trim their win rate compared to casual play – maybe casual games bring out their alter ego?
Signature moves & rivals
Sopiko keeps their opening repertoire a "Top Secret," but stats show a 50% win rate in blitz openings over nearly 300 games, and even better in bullet and rapid. Opponents beware: Sopiko has a habit of turning games around, especially against players like ajdemipopushi and dmcnally, where the win rate is a perfect 100%. But don’t be fooled, some foes like aquirkyatom might leave them scratching their head.
When to catch Sopiko at their best
Tuesdays and Saturdays seem to be golden days with win rates near 60%, and 4 PM is the prime hour to witness their sharpest moves. Early mornings or midday might be better for coffee than chess, as those hours show mixed success.
Whether you’re a casual fan or a fellow chess gladiator, Sopiko Guramishvili proves that resilience, tactical flair, and a pinch of mystery make a memorable player. Next time you meet Sopiko91 across the board, expect a rollercoaster ride – and maybe a few surprises!
