Giorgi Kacheishvili Rep of Georgia 27 GM 2640 2600 67% (35/52) $913 d4 Philidor+French Queens Gambit Declined

GM Giorgi Kacheishvili

The young Georgian GM is an extremely difficult opponent. He has a fantastic positional understanding combined with a nice tactical awareness which means that if you want to beat him you are going to have the battle of your life. He thrives in slightly better endgames and loves to grind lower rated players down with the white pieces. With black he is a little more suspect, often playing openings like the Philidor defense or the Rubinstein French. These openings suit his style well, however also don’t put much pressure on the white player. To see one of his “unsound” openings work out to perfection, check out his game with Greg Shahade by clicking on the link below.
