Meet DrewDevries14, a chess player whose journey through the ranks is as unpredictable and entertaining as a sneaky queen sacrifice. Drew’s career is a testament to persistence, occasional brilliance, and a dash of comedic flair on the 64 squares.
Skill and Style
Drew’s peak blitz rating soared to an impressive 1066 in early 2022, showing flashes of tactical wizardry that keep opponents on their toes. Rapid and daily ratings have seen some ups and downs—ranging from humble beginnings in the low 200s to a respectable 470 in rapid chess—not unlike a grandmaster’s rollercoaster ride with frequent dips and thrilling climbs.
Known for a strong liking of the King’s Pawn Opening with a 54% win rate in rapid games, Drew also favors the English Opening Reversed Sicilian Variation and the Vienna Game, both yielding over 60% success.

Drew has a notable comeback rate of 66.5%, showcasing resilience by turning disadvantageous positions into surprises. If a piece is lost, there’s a roughly 34% chance Drew will still emerge victorious, giving hope to fans of spirited underdog stories everywhere.
Against All Odds
Drew’s psychological resilience is strong too, with a tilt factor of only 10%—meaning the tantrums are limited and the focus is usually razor-sharp. The best time to challenge Drew? Set your clock for 8:00 AM, when the brain is freshest and ready to tango.
