Profile Summary: Al Swn (aka georgevenom)
Meet Al Swn, who battles it out on the 64 squares under the enigmatic username georgevenom. While not exactly a grandmaster yet, Al’s chess journey is a rollercoaster packed with thrilling wins, soul-crushing losses, and enough perseverance to fuel a chess-themed soap opera!
Chess Journey and Style
Starting with a Daily rating of 914 in 2018, Al's peak soared to a respectable 1045 by 2025. In Rapid chess, Al once flirted with a 1300 rating back in 2017 but currently hovers around the 600s, showing there's always room for a comeback (and plenty of them, judging by a comeback rate of 74%!). Blitz and Bullet formats have seen Al's rating dance between 972 at the bullet peak and a more humble 422 in the latest blitz—proof that speed sometimes trumps style, or maybe the other way around.

- Current winning streak: 6 games (still hot🔥)
- Longest losing streak: 10 games (we've all been there, chess is brutal!)
- Psychological resilience: Tilts only 10% of the time—low enough to bounce back quicker than your morning coffee kicks in.
- Early resignation rate: 6% — because sometimes it’s smarter to bow out gracefully and plot revenge.

In daily games, the Indian Game, Vienna Game, and French Defense Steinitz Attack have brought glorious wins (100% success rate in those rare battles!).
