Profile: Gaswerd2, the FIDE Master Extraordinaire

Meet Gaswerd2, a chess virtuoso who has earned the esteemed title of FIDE Master. This player isn’t just about making moves – it’s about making masterpieces on the 64 squares!

Rising Through the Ranks

Gaswerd2’s blitz rating started at a respectable 1600 in September 2023 and has rocketed upward to an astonishing peak of 2843 by February 2025 – that’s faster than a knight’s leap across the board! Bullet games tell a similar story, peaking beautifully at 2723.

Style & Strategy

Known for a patient and strategic style, Gaswerd2 thrives in the endgame, embracing it in nearly 87% of matches. With an impressively low rate of early resignations (0.57%), this player believes every game deserves the full battle, sipping coffee while opponents scramble. Gaswerd2’s games have a luxurious length — averaging 82 moves to victory, and an even longer 89 moves in defeat, proving stamina is a key ingredient.

Tactical Tenacity

When losing a piece, Gaswerd2 doesn’t give up — with a comeback success rate north of 91%, this player might as well have a second pawn hidden up the sleeve. Nearly half the time, Gaswerd2 even flips the script and wins after losing material.

Opening Mystique

While the secret sauce remains classified—including over 760 blitz games under a "Top Secret" opening repertoire—victory smiles about 47% of the time. Bullet games show even more delicious success!

Record and Rivals

With more than 350 blitz wins and a respectable bullet record, Gaswerd2 battles fiercely against familiar foes. Though the username jacemalcom has frustrated this master with a defeat rate near 76%, Gaswerd2 triumphs majestically over many others, boasting perfect win records against players like rickandmorty0, keithonsky, and discipline_invictus.

Memorable Moments

In a thrilling recent blitz duel from April 2, 2025, Gaswerd2 secured a victory in the English Opening's Agincourt Defense variation, forcing the opponent to resign gracefully under persistent pressure. This game showcases the player’s knack for tactical pressure and flawless endgame execution.

Playing Habits & Quirks

Fittingly, Gaswerd2’s best playtime is at 8 AM, when the world is fresh, and the queen is ready to dance. Draws and losses can occasionally trigger a tilt factor of 11, but with comeback skills like these, it's a brief setback at best.

In summary: Gaswerd2 is a seasoned chess professional, a blast in blitz, a bullet showstopper, and a resilient fighter who makes every move count. Whether it’s a marathon endgame or a rapid fire skirmish, this FIDE Master commands the board with tenacity and a subtle wink of style.

Hi Gaswerd2 – Performance Review

What you’re already excelling at

  • Opening versatility & preparation. Your recent wins feature the Maroczy-Bind Accelerated Dragon, Neo-Catalan and Leningrad Dutch – a broad, well-maintained repertoire that keeps opponents guessing.
  • Early pawn-structure awareness. You consistently seize space with c- & d-pawns and restrict enemy breaks (e.g. …d5 in several English lines).
  • Conversion skill when on the clock. The clean 36-move miniature against GEOMAX5 shows precise liquidation into a won queen ending.

Growth opportunities

  • Clock discipline. Four of your last six losses were time-outs in winnable or equal endgames. Aim to reach move 30 with ≥30 s still in reserve.
  • Technical rook endings. The 67-move loss to Samuel Fieberg revealed missed drawing methods in R + P vs R endings (e.g. keeping the king in front of the passed pawn). A short daily drill will pay dividends.
  • Caro-Kann defence choices. In the Two-Knights (5.Qe2) you twice drifted into passive piece play with …Be6/…Bg4. Consider sharper plans such as …g6 with an immediate …Nc6 or the modern …Nd7 lines.

3-step action plan

  1. End-game sprints. Play 10 rook-and-pawn endings vs engine at 15 seconds/move; focus on the “Lucena” and “Philidor” setups (Lucena Position).
  2. Time-control rehearsal. Twice a week run 15-minute “Blitz Rushes”: 6 three-minute games where you force yourself to move < 10 seconds for the first 15 moves; review only the games you win on the board but lose on time.
  3. Caro-Kann tune-up. Build a micro-file with 15 model games (Caruana, Vachier-Lagrave, Firouzja) featuring your chosen branch and play out the critical middlegames vs engine until you win with ≤2 minutes remaining.
