Profile Summary: Afrobwaii (aka Screven Usi)

Afrobwaii is a seasoned chess player whose journey through the 64 squares is as thrilling as a queen’s gambit but with a personal twist of flair and grit. Known for wielding the Modern Defense and the Nimzowitsch-Larsen Attack like a modern-day chess sorcerer, Afrobwaii gracefully maneuvers through openings with a win rate that makes opponents rue matching up.

Chess Stats & Personality

  • Peak Ratings: Reached a blazing 1651 in Blitz (2024), an astonishing 1949 in Bullet (2024), and 1565 in Rapid (2024), with a special mention to a Daily peak rating of 1679 back in 2017.
  • With tens of thousands of games under the belt, this player has not only amassed a mountain of wins but also endured many skirmishes on the chessboard, showing a hearty appetite for comebacks (over 73% comeback rate!).
  • Afrobwaii plays with style: a high frequency of endgames shows patience and strategic depth, averaging 61 moves per win—a marathon, not a sprint.
  • Known for the bravery to battle on after losing a piece, with a near 47% win rate even when at a material disadvantage.

Playing Style & Quirks

The player is no stranger to early resignation (only 2.33%), preferring to fight till the end. But beware—tlilt factor of 27 means sometimes the string of wins or losses can get under their skin, adding spice to their games.

Afrobwaii’s psychological game shows interesting nuances—a preferred playtime is the late night/early morning hours around 2 AM when the brain is sharpest or perhaps the coffee effects kick in. Oddly enough, morning and late-evening playtimes yield best win percentages.

Signature Openings & Favorites

  • Blitz: Loves the Modern Defense and variations of the Nimzowitsch-Larsen Attack, boasting solid 50%+ win rates.
  • Bullet: The Nimzowitsch-Larsen Attack variants dominate, with a particularly strong performance in the classical line.
  • Rapid: Kings Pawn and Queens Pawn Openings with a tilt towards classical Nimzowitsch-Larsen nuances. Also, a mysterious “Undefined” opening with a perfect record—perhaps a bit of secret sauce!

Recent Games Snapshot

Just recently, Afrobwaii clinched a victory in a Battle of the Bishops using the Nimzowitsch-Larsen Attack – Modern Variation, followed by a fierce game under the Modern Defense with an opposing knight that ended with their opponent’s resignation.

Not all battles have been won, of course. A particularly close loss by time control in another Nimzowitsch-Larsen line shows even masters have their off cycles—yet the fighting spirit remains undiminished.

Fun Fact

Despite the serious nature of chess, Afrobwaii’s style suggests a player who enjoys the thrill of the game, ready to dive into long tactical battles or rapid-fire bullet skirmishes, making each defeat just another setup for a spectacular comeback. In short, this player’s motto might just be: “Checkmate? More like check-maybe... I’ll get you next time!”
