Profile Summary: HWeave08r
Meet HWeave08r, a chess enthusiast whose journey resembles a rollercoaster rather than a straightforward ascent. With a peak rapid rating of 941 achieved spectacularly back in December 2021, this player has shown sparks of brilliance mixed with moments of, shall we say, creative exploration on the board.
Known for wielding the "Top Secret" opening—even if it's a bit of a mystery to everyone, including them—HWeave08r has amassed over 250 rapid games with a near 49% win rate. Don't be fooled by their blitz and bullet ratings being modest (maxing out around 376 and 667 respectively); their most lethal games unfold at a slower, more contemplative pace.
Their playstyle? A curious blend of strategic patience and, sometimes, early resignations—26.27% of games end prematurely, but hey, who has time for slow losses? The endgames are quite frequent and serve as battlegrounds for some of HWeave08r's sharpest moves.
Fun fact: Their longest winning streak clocks in at an impressive 12 games. Clearly, when everything clicks, they can conquer the chessboard with a vengeance. However, the struggle is real with the longest losing streak standing at 7, proving that even the best have their off days (and off series).
Psychological resilience is part of the story here: boasting a comeback rate of 52.38% and winning nearly 40% of games even after losing a piece, HWeave08r is no stranger to fighting back from the brink — sometimes with just a knight and a dream.
When does HWeave08r play best? Apparently around 6 AM, where their win rate hits a perfect 100%. Night owls beware—at 3 PM, their success dips below 12%, so maybe avoid challenging them to a match during your afternoon coffee break.
Opponents beware: HWeave08r has a perfect (100%) win record against many adversaries, showing that on any given day, this player can snatch victory from the jaws of defeat—and sometimes from awkward opening choices.
Highlight Game: One of the latest victories involved a daring assault with the French Defense opening, where a relentless queen and knight combo forced a resignation. You can marvel at this strategic dance here.
Whether you're a casual viewer or a budding chess player, following HWeave08r's adventures offers a thrilling mix of tactical skirmishes, occasional blunders, and commendable grit. Just don’t expect a boring game!
Hi HWeave08r – here’s some tailored feedback to help you climb beyond the 600-rating range!
1. What you’re already doing well
- Tactical alertness: You often spot loose pieces (e.g. 9.Qxh8 in your win vs reyzgd), converting material advantages quickly.
- Playing actively: You rarely get stuck in passive positions—your pieces (especially the queen) look for threats right away.
- Time management: In the games supplied you keep healthy time margins, which is a good habit for longer games later.
2. Main improvement themes
-
Early-queen adventures are a double-edged sword
• Your wins and losses both feature the Wayward Queen idea (2.Qh5/2.Qh4, etc.). • Against unprepared opponents it wins rooks; against prepared ones you lose tempi, fall behind in development, or get mated (see the loss vs sennh23).
Action: Limit queen moves to one in the opening. Try a “quiet” system for 20 games (Italian or London as White; Scandinavian or French as Black) to internalise classic development patterns. -
Castle early and guard your king
• In the loss vs sennh23 you postponed castling and your king walked to e6/g6. • Opponents also punish your exposed king when you play …Qh4/…Qxe4+ on move 3.
Action: Set a self-rule: “Castle before move 10 unless I have a concrete tactic worth at least a rook.” Review each game afterward—did you break the rule? -
Convert big material leads cleanly
• Example: vs sennh23 you were up a rook on move 12 yet still lost. • Endgame technique (stopping passed pawns, using the extra rook) needs work.
Action: Do 10 endgame drills per week (rook-vs-pawn, basic mates). When ahead, trade queens and simplify—“When up, swap down.”
3. Opening snapshots
Below is a miniature from your latest win. After 9…Bg7?? you correctly grabbed the rook:
Great tactic—but note that by move 7 you had moved the queen five times while two bishops and both knights were still at home. Stronger players will seize that tempo bounty.
4. Practical study plan (next 4 weeks)
- Opening: Play the Italian (e4 e5 Nf3 Nc6 Bc4) as White for 20 games. As Black, answer 1.e4 with 1…e5 and follow Russian Petrov ideas—no early queen moves.
- Tactics: 15 puzzles/day focused on forks, pins, and back-rank mates. Aim for 70 % accuracy before moving up in puzzle rating.
- Endgames: Spend 10 minutes/session on rook-&-pawn endings; practise “Lucena” and “Philidor” positions.
5. Motivation corner
Your peak rapid rating so far: 941 (2021-12-14). Let’s set a short-term goal of +100 points. Consistency trumps perfection—track your progress here:

• Win rate by day →
6. Quick reference checklist before each move
- Are all my pieces safe? (no loose pieces hanging)
- Is my king safe / can I castle?
- What is my opponent’s last threat?
- Can I improve the worst-placed piece?
- If everything is secure, then look for tactics.
Keep enjoying the game, analyse every loss for one takeaway, and celebrate small improvements. See you at your next milestone!
