Andreas Wiwe - The FIDE Master Extraordinaire
Meet Andreas Wiwe, or as the internet knows them, GM_Chesstosterone — a FIDE Master who's nothing short of a chess gladiator in the digital arena. With a FIDE Master title in hand, Andreas has steadily climbed the ranks, demonstrating both grit and flair across all time controls.
A Journey Through the Ratings
Starting from humble beginnings with a blitz rating hovering around 1400 back in 2014, Andreas quickly blitzed their way up to an astounding peak blitz rating of 2718 in September 2024. Not too shabby for someone who sometimes treats the opening as a mystery wrapped in an enigma — their most played opening is "Unknown," proving that creativity often triumphs over convention.
Bullet fans beware: Andreas reached a fiery 2675 in bullet chess, proving lightning-fast decisions and nerves of steel. Daily and rapid chess? No slouches there either, managing peaks of 2260 and 2527 respectively. Looks like there's no time control Andreas can't handle with style.
Record and Style
With over 7,500 wins in blitz alone (and barely fewer losses, because even legends stumble) Andreas is a force to reckon with. They manage an impressive 88% come-back rate and have a knack for dragging victories out of seemingly lost positions — a true phoenix of the chessboard.
Known for their endgame prowess, Andreas averages nearly 88 moves in a winning game, savoring the slow grind and devilish tactics that only masterful endgames can deliver. Opponents beware: they often capitalize on your blunders and recover quickly from setbacks. Early resignation? Barely at all—Andreas sticks it out like a champ.
Psychology and Playtime
Fun fact: Andreas plays best around 2:00 AM — the witching hour where brilliance (and maybe a touch of madness) collide. They cope admirably with tilt, keeping cool even when the chips are down (tilt factor of only 11). So if you want to challenge this master, make sure you're alert and ready!
Recent Battle Tales
Their recent games are a testament to skill and nerve. On June 1, 2025, Andreas executed a textbook Sicilian Defense Scheveningen with enviable precision, forcing their opponent to resign under pressure. However, even the mightiest can face defeat: June 2, 2025, saw our hero falter, losing to a sharp Pirc Defense line — a reminder that chess is a beautiful dance of wins and losses.
In Summary
With a FIDE Master title, a peak blitz rating rivaling grandmasters, and a penchant for outmaneuvering opponents in the late-night hours, Andreas Wiwe (aka GM_Chesstosterone) is a chess personality worth watching. Whether it's the mysterious openings, relentless comebacks, or the stamina to battle through long endgames, Andreas embodies the spirit of the game — fierce, creative, and gloriously imperfect.
