Brice (aka ewzix) - The Relentless Chess Adventurer

Meet Brice, known in chess circles as ewzix, a player who proves that persistence beats perfection—mostly. With a rapid rating that skyrocketed from a humble 123 in late 2024 to a towering peak of 330 by mid-2025, they've shown a knack for comebacks that could give a Hollywood script a run for its money.

In blitz battles, Brice’s firing speed reached an impressive 545, demonstrating quick wit, though sometimes lightning strikes as much against them as for them. Daily chess? A solid 254 rating standing firm. This player’s style involves lots of endgames—about 60% of their games see the fight dragged to the later stages where patience and nerves truly matter.

Brice’s knack for bouncing back is remarkable, boasting a come back rate of nearly 64% and a 39% win rate even after losing a piece—a real bruiser who fights ‘til the last pawn drops! Their longest winning streak stands at a respectable 7 games, while their longest losing streak humbly reminds us that even heroes sometimes stumble, with a 9-game skid.

The openings repertoire reads like a chess buffet: a preference for King’s Pawn Opening with a solid 63% win rate in rapid, but also delicious dishes like Van t Kruijs and Bishop’s Opening where they boast over 70% wins. Though the King’s Pawn Tortoise Opening hasn’t yet yielded victories—looks like Brice prefers bolder moves over slow retreats.

When it comes to rivals, Brice seems to have a special vendetta against lixi9, holding a strong 63% win rate over 52 games, while some opponents like shelt0n94 get swept clean with a perfect 100% record—Brice knows how to make a statement. Interestingly, matches played past 11 PM bring out Brice’s best with a 100% win rate—clearly the night owl’s prime time.

Beyond the numbers, Brice is a tactician who doesn't just resign easily—only about 9% early resignations—choosing to battle to the bitter end, often in marathon games averaging 56 moves for wins. The player’s chess tales include thrilling checkmate victories and crushing losses, most recently their dramatic checkmate win over RlX3M after a tense slow dance through the Scandinavian Defense.

So, who is Brice? A resilient chess explorer with a flair for turning setbacks into triumphs, armed with a playful spirit and a penchant for late-night checkmates. Whether climbing ratings or unraveling tricky endgames, ewzix keeps the game exciting, proving that in chess—as in life—it's not just how you start, but how you finish that counts.
