Player Profile: babawd

Meet babawd, the chess warrior whose rapid rating has been on a rollercoaster trajectory, screaming from 575 all the way up to an impressive peak of 1984 in July 2024. Not just a one-season wonder, babawd has been consistently battling opponents with a gritty style, maintaining an average rating flirting with the 1900 mark as of early 2025.

With over 2,267 rapid games under their belt (because who counts losses, right?), babawd boasts a respectable win tally of 1,108 games. This player’s win rate is nearly 50%, which means every game is a toss-up — chess excitement guaranteed! Their longest winning streak stands at a solid 14 games, proving once in a while the stars align perfectly. Of course, no saga is without its drama; a longest losing streak of 9 reminds us even heroes stumble.

When it comes to openings, babawd keeps opponents guessing with a secret weapon: the mysterious "Top Secret" opening (2046 games played there!) with a near 49.3% win rate. But don’t be fooled — this player also wields the Indian Game to deadly effect, winning nearly 86% of the time, and has a deft touch with the Italian Game - Hungarian Defense, claiming victory two-thirds of the time.

Off the bat, babawd looks to the endgame like it’s their second home, showing a penchant for extended matches—averaging a hefty 78 moves to victory. Maybe a bit of a chess marathoner? Their psychological resilience shines through with an impressive 88.9% comeback rate after setbacks, meaning giving up is not in their vocabulary. Despite a tilt factor of 9 (everyone has their off days), their best time to pounce on foes is right around 1 AM, when the moonlight whispers strategy secrets.

Notably, babawd seems to prefer being White slightly more, with a 52% win rate versus a 46% win rate when playing Black — the opening move advantage might just be their lucky charm. Time-wise, mornings and early afternoons seem to be their sweet spot, scoring over 60% wins around 9 AM, while late-night games exhibit a bit more risk (and reward).

The game logs reveal a crafty strategist who recently triumphed in a Slav Defense encounter, securing a win by resignation — because sometimes, your opponent just knows they’re done for. But let’s be honest: even the best babawd suffers losses occasionally, like the recent tango with PepeGa_DeezNytz in a fiery Ruy Lopez duel. The ebb and flow of chess life.

All in all, babawd is a battle-hardened rapid player with the heart of a lion, a mysterious opening repertoire, and a penchant for dragging games deep into the late moves—whether you’re ready or not!

Fun fact: If babawd had a motto, it might just be Resign? Never heard of it.
