Boedewoen is a chess player who keeps opponents guessing with a blend of fierce tactics and occasional whimsy. With a blitz rating that has danced between 100 and a sprightly 286 in 2025, this player thrives in the fast-paced adrenaline rush of short time controls. Don’t let the modest rating fool you—Boedewoen’s come-from-behind victories are the stuff of legend, boasting an 80% comeback rate and a 100% win rate after losing a piece. Talk about turning lemons into lemon zests!
Playing Style
Preferring the battlefield of the endgame, Boedewoen dives into deep strategic waters, with over 62% of games pushing into the endgame zone. Games generally last almost 60 moves whether winning or losing—no quitter here! Although White’s colors bring a modest 34% win rate, Black is Boedewoen’s lucky cloak, claiming nearly half the victories with a solid 49% success rate.
Opening Preferences and Performance
When it comes to openings, Boedewoen embraces a curious mix — from the impenetrable Philidor Defense (75% win rate in blitz) to the daring King's Pawn Opening boasting a perfect 100% win rate in blitz. The Knights and Bishops march out gallantly, especially in the King's Pawn Leonardis Variation and Bishop's Opening, both yielding around 67% wins. Rapid games reveal a liking for the Queen's Pawn Blackmar Gambit and Nimzowitsch Defense with promising results, while bullet games celebrate a spotless record with the Bishop's Opening and Center Game Accepted.
Battlefield Record
Across several dozens of blitz games (71 to be exact), Boedewoen eked out a nearly even record: 32 wins, 35 losses, and 4 draws—a true fighter who never stops pressing. Rapid games tell a similar story with 10 wins and 15 losses, often testing new tactics that sometimes pay off, sometimes provide great stories for post-game banter. Bullet games are fewer but fiery, with almost as many wins as losses.
Psychological Quirks and Opponents
With a tilt factor of 7, Boedewoen sometimes feels the pressure—but who doesn't? Interestingly, games on Tuesdays and Mondays tend to be excellent days to pick a fight, boasting win rates over 75% and 59%, respectively. Morning sessions (around 5 to 11 AM) show Boedewoen firing on all cylinders, with a staggering 100% win rate at 5 AM—not that anyone else is playing then, but still impressive! Beware opponents like thomasthetrain4life, who manages to stalemate or split wins, but others like b200000000000000 and prop_69 have felt the sting of defeat repeatedly.
In Summary
Boedewoen may not always clock the highest ratings, but with a cheeky grin, dogged spirit, and a knack for surprising comebacks, this chess enthusiast proves there’s more to the game than just numbers. Whether blitzing, rapid firing, or bulleting through, Boedewoen’s chess journey is a thrilling mix of strategy, resilience, and a pinch of delightful unpredictability.
