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
