Callum D Brewer - National Master Extraordinaire
Meet Callum D Brewer, also known in the chess circles (and occasional cafes) as cdb13, a National Master who can make pawns dance and knights prance like nobody’s business. Callum’s love affair with chess began with blitz games that started around a solid 2,000 rating in 2020 and skyrocketed to a blistering 2,400 by 2024—clearly, the pieces listen when Callum’s around.
When not casually outmaneuvering opponents in bullet chess at a peak rating of 2,495, Callum is known for an almost suspiciously high comeback rate—an 83.67% success rate at clawing victories from the jaws of defeat. Losing a piece? No problem. Callum's win rate after such a setback is a perfect 100%, because giving up early is SO not in their style.
Speaking of style, their games tend to be epics rather than speedruns—averaging nearly 73 moves per win—meaning that every match is like a thrilling chess novel with plot twists aplenty. While some players get a bit moody after losses, Callum’s tilt factor is refreshingly low (just 4), proving that even kings can stay calm under pressure.
Callum’s psychological warfare isn’t just bluff; with a win rate above 60% playing White and over 56% playing Black, cdb13 treats every opening like a locked treasure chest—though the contents remain, for now, top secret to all but a fortunate few. Rumor has it they favor tricky, enigmatic openings that leave opponents scratching their heads and wondering if they accidentally joined a wizard duel.
Off the board, Callum has a fierce rivalry with the likes of "xpawnmasterx" (whom they have yet to conquer) but holds a perfect 100% win record against many others—testimony to a competitive spirit sharper than a freshly sharpened bishop.
In short, Callum D Brewer is not just playing chess; they’re rewriting the rules, one clever move at a time. Whether blitzing through online games or streaming rapid fire tactics, expect grit, grace, and maybe even a bit of cheeky humor hiding behind that calm exterior.
