Opening Repertoire & Style

True to the spirit of a curious and daring player, hniewgh has a penchant for Queen's Pawn Openings, especially the Zukertort and Chigorin Variations, where winning streaks gleam brighter than a freshly polished rook. The Scandinavian Defense also holds a special place, boasting a win rate north of fifty percent across all time controls!

Notably fearless, this player’s Italian Game might not be the flashiest (win rate ~22%), but hey, no one’s perfect — it’s all part of the journey! Early resignation rate is impressively low at less than 1%, indicating a fighter who sees battles through to their end.

Playing Personality & Psychological Profile

hniewgh plays like a chess yogi — calm, thoughtful, and steady. Endgames are a playground with a frequency above 68%, and comebacks suggest a warrior spirit, boasting a remarkable 75.7% comeback rate. Even more impressive: a perfect 100% win rate after losing a piece, proving that nothing phases this resilient player.

However, watch out for the tilt factor of 8 — because even grandmasters have their “oops” moments. Luckily, this player’s average moves per win (around 59) reveal a liking for slow and steady positional fights rather than blitzkrieg tactics.

Best Moments on the Board

Recent wins include swift, strategic triumphs like a 2-move snag against "kridey2201" where hniewgh brilliantly utilized the Mikenas Defense variation, ending the game abruptly as the opponent abandoned – sometimes chess is just that elegant!
