GewagtEisberg: The Iceberg on the Chessboard
GewagtEisberg is a chess player who proves that beneath a calm and collected exterior lies a fierce competitor — much like an iceberg, most of their brilliance is hidden below the surface.
Rating & Playing Style
Peaking at a rapid rating of 893 in early 2025, GewagtEisberg’s journey has been a rollercoaster of thrilling ups and some humbling downs. Rapid is their playground, where with over 300 games played, they've achieved a steady 50.27% win rate using their secret weapon, ambiguously named “Top Secret” openings. Blink and you might miss their subtle tactical strikes! Blitz and bullet ratings are no stranger to this player either, boasting impressive highs of 587 and 765 respectively, which implies considerable speed chess prowess (or just frantic mouse clicks).
Strengths & Quirks
- Known for an early resignation rate of just 4.55%, showing that giving up is not an option (unless hopeless).
- In games they win, the average length is nearly 61 moves, indicating a patient, strategic grind rather than lightning strikes.
- The comeback rate is astonishingly high at 64.62% — you might think the iceberg is melting, only to rise and freeze the competition again.
- Winners often come on Fridays and 4 a.m. sessions — either a night owl or a chess vampire!
- Although the longest losing streak reached 5 games, GewagtEisberg shows resilience by bouncing back quickly, never staying down for long.
Memorable Victory & Memorable Defeat
One of GewagtEisberg’s most remarkable wins was a rapid game where they achieved a checkmate so swift and unexpected that the opponent’s queen barely saw it coming — ending an intense battle in under an hour. A Sicilian Defense Hyperaccelerated Dragon Variation turned into their playground, winning by resignation after a calculated series of pressure plays.
On the flip side, even this iceberg suffers occasional melting moments. In June 2025, a quick brush with the Scandinavian Defense Mieses Kotrc Variation led to a resignation after just two moves — a reminder that even legends can have their off days or blunders that surprise their fans.
Opponent Anecdotes
GewagtEisberg’s track record against various opponents is a mosaic of triumphs and struggles. They boast a perfect 100% win rate against many players — no mercy shown! Yet against some, e.g., "greylord911" and "petervipprono3", the scoreboard does not favor them, striking a note of humility in their otherwise formidable record.
The Legend Continues...
With a nickname meaning “Daring Iceberg,” this player embodies paradox: cool under pressure yet delivering seizures of excitement on the board. While many speculate about their “Top Secret” openings, one thing is clear — playing GewagtEisberg guarantees a cerebral battle filled with suspense, survival, and sometimes a touch of unexpected blunder for flavor.
Keep an eye on them — the iceberg might just be lurking beneath your next game!
