Player Profile: E W (hew28)

Meet hew28, a chess adventurer whose journey through the 64 squares is as varied as a grandmaster’s secret opening repertoire — but with a twist of fun and a sprinkle of unpredictability. Rated across multiple formats from Bullet firestorms to the contemplative Daily games, hew28’s chess story is one of perseverance, resilience, and a dash of chaos theory in every game.

Rating & Performance Highlights

  • Peak Rapid Rating: 703 (October 2020) — that’s right, our hero once soared above 700, a plateau where many mere mortals dare not tread.
  • Top Blitz Rating: 764 (December 2020) — lightning-fast moves and nerves of steel marked this peak.
  • Highest Bullet Rating: 761 (March 2021) — an arena where speed and sanity are at constant war, yet hew28 prevailed.
  • Daily Chess Top Score: A flawless 800 (April 2023) — patience rewarded with perfection!
  • Current ratings show some ebbs and flows — but hey, a true chess warrior rides the storm.

Playing Style & Strategies

E W plays with a blend of early resignations (about 17%) — suggesting sometimes he knows when to shake hands before the checkmate parade. His endgame frequency clocks in close to a solid 28%, proving he’s not just a fast blitzer; he appreciates the sweet art of the final battle too. With an average game length of 40 moves in victories, patience and persistence are hallmarks of his style, while losses tend to be slightly shorter, a possible indication that he sometimes takes bold risks that either pay off or don’t.

Thanks to a staggering 72.9% comeback rate, hew28 has a knack for turning the tables and clawing back from difficult positions. However, a tilt factor of 19 shows that even this chess gladiator isn’t immune to those notorious “bad mood” moments after blunders.

Favorite Openings

When it comes to rapid games, hew28 shows fondness for the King’s Pawn Opening with a solid win rate near 57%. The ever-mysterious Englund Gambit and various Queen’s Pawn variations are also part of the mix — indicating a taste for both conventional and less predictable lines.

For the adrenaline-pumping Bullet format, hew28 swings frequently to the King’s Pawn Opening and the Van ’t Kruijs Opening, showcasing versatility and a bit of sassy flair. Blitz games highlight a preference for the same Van ’t Kruijs with an impressive 54.8% win rate.

Notable Recent Games

Recent Triumphs: Hew28’s last few victories have ended dramatically with checkmates, often in openings like the Englund Gambit and Queen’s Pawn Stonewall Attack. Known for finishing games before opponents can say “Oops, blunder!”, his latest checkmate was delivered in just 40 moves in a melee of aggressive queenside play.

Recent Setbacks: Losses sometimes come via resignation, a noble concession in chess. Notable recent defeats were against opponents exploiting the Blackmar Gambit and the Zukertort Chigorin Variation — openings as tricky as spelling "Zukertort" on a scrabble board.

Psychological And Temporal Trivia

Hew28 plays his best chess late in the morning, around 8:00 AM, where his win rate by hour peaks impressively. Looking to challenge at this hour? Be warned, this player’s tactical awareness and comeback spirit are primed for battle then.

Weekends don’t daunt him either, with consistent performances across all weekdays — except that tilting factor still looms, so maybe avoid trash talk or surprise moves around 11 PM, the hour where win rates slightly dip.

Opponent Favorites and Foes

Hew28 mixes fierce competition with a quirky sense of justice: he has a 100% win rate against players like amaira1037 and zorenlegaspi, while some opponents like tjwr303 and simonplayschesspoorly have managed to best him more than once. A battle of wills and wits in the making!

Fun Facts

  • Can win a bullet game faster than most can say “Check!”
  • Has a checkmate count that could inspire a horror movie title.
  • Fluctuates between brash gambits and slow, calculated squeezes like a grandmaster Rubik’s cube enthusiast.
  • Is famous enough on Chess.com to inspire fear, respect, and occasional memes.

Whether battling through rapid changes, bullet blitzkrieg, or daily chess endurance tests, hew28 remains a persistent hunter on the chessboard jungle. So if you want a good game — or a good laugh after an unexpected blunder — seek him out and challenge the legend in the making!
