Player Profile: chwla
Meet chwla, a chess virtuoso who could probably teach even the grandmasters a thing or two — or at least make them sweat with those tricky Traxler Knight Sacrifices!
Rating Evolution & Achievements
From 2022 to 2025, chwla has shown an impressive rating climb across all time controls. Starting around the mid-1500s in Blitz, chwla catapulted to an almost superhuman Rapid rating north of 2300 by 2025. Not bad for someone who occasionally starts a Bullet game at 815 and ends it at a respectable 1261. Consistency might be a work in progress, but the grit is undeniable.
Strengths & Style
- Opening Specialist: With a staggering 82% win rate in the Italian Game Traxler Knight Sacrifice Line in Blitz, chwla truly embraces danger and dances with sacrifice like a pro.
- Tactical Wizardry: A remarkable 100% win rate after losing a piece—because why panic when you can outwit and outplay?
- Never Say Die: A comeback rate of nearly 75% proves chwla has more lives than a cat and refuses to resign early.
- Endgame Enthusiast: Over half of chwla's games reach the endgame stage, demonstrating stamina and strategic depth.
Quirks & Fun Facts
Beware if you play chwla on a Sunday afternoon or during the magical hour of 23:00 — win rates peak at an impressive 62.96%. Maybe it's the calm Sunday vibes or the moonlight inspiration – the details remain a mystery.
On the less fortunate side, those 3 AM games tend to be less fruitful with win rates dropping to 34.38%, possibly due to battling chess zombies or the coffee running out.
Also, chwla tends to win more with the white pieces (nearly 54% win rate) but doesn’t let the black pieces feel left out, maintaining a respectable 51.45% win rate.
Record & Rivalries
With over 460 wins in Blitz and more than 2,000 in Bullet (yes, they survived thousands of rapid-fire games!), chwla is no stranger to both victory and defeat. Opponents beware: from rajmallick76 (a 100% defeat record) to crazy_chess40 (0%), you never know who walks away smiling.
In Summary
chwla is a thrilling blend of fearless sacrifice, late-night brilliance, and a relentless fighting spirit. Whether it's blitz, bullet, or classical rapid, this player turns every match into a captivating tale of chess drama, strategy, and occasional caffeine-fueled chaos.
So, if you ever face chwla, prepare for a rollercoaster ride — and may your calculation be sharp and your nerves steady!
