Garnek17

Player Profile: Garnek17

Meet Garnek17, a spirited chess enthusiast whose adventures on the 64 squares are nothing short of a rollercoaster ride! With a peak rapid rating soaring to 739 and blitz highs at an impressive 834 in early 2025, this player knows how to keep the game exciting — sometimes for better, sometimes for worse.

Known for a tactical flair that often pulls off comebacks (a remarkable nearly 70% comeback rate!), Garnek17 rarely gives up without a fight. Although suffering some brutal losses (hello, longest losing streak of 5), their drive to bounce back is as strong as their love for tricky openings.

Speaking of openings, Garnek17's favorites are as diverse as their game results. The Center Game Accepted Normal Variation shines brightest with a perfect 100% win rate, while the Scandinavian Defense Mieses Kotrc Variation boasts an 83% success rate. On the flip side, the Kings Pawn Opening remains a work in progress with a modest 35% win rate—there's always room for growth!

Blitz games tell a tale of nerves and precision, with Garnek17 mastering the Bishops Opening Berlin Defense flawlessly, winning all encounters there. However, some openings like the Ruy Lopez Classical Defense remain elusive with zero wins yet — chess, like life, isn't always fair.

When it comes to style, patience pays off: an average of 54 moves per win suggests Garnek17 enjoys the long haul, grinding out victories through strategic endgames (engagement in endgames is nearly 44%). But beware the early resignations—clocking in at just over 12%—sometimes even Garnek17 knows when to cry uncle.

This player’s psychological resilience is notable, rarely tilting beyond a score of 5 on a 10-point scale, a true testament to cool under fire. Their absolute favorite hour for chess? That mystical midnight hour (00:00), when Garnek17 presumably has supernatural powers to outwit opponents.

Fun fact: Garnek17 performs best on Saturdays with a win rate topping 61%, so if you ever want to challenge them online, weekend battles might be your best (or worst) bet.

Despite some tough losses to foes like dieselcatt and oye_umer_97, Garnek17 has triumphed theatrically over many, including a 100% win record against several challengers — clearly, an underdog with bite.
