Profile: Iabsbw
Meet Iabsbw, a chess player whose rating journey somewhat resembles a roller coaster — but with a knight on every loop! Starting from a modest Blitz rating of 130 in late 2024, Iabsbw rocketed up to a peak of 710 in early 2025, proving that perseverance and smart pawn pushes pay off. In Rapid chess, the star truly shines: a jaw-dropping peak rating of 821, showing that when given a little more time, the strategic mind really comes alive.
With over 300 Blitz games under their belt, boasting a solid win record (164 wins against 130 losses), and even more impressive Rapid stats, Iabsbw is no stranger to competition. Their playing style is a beautiful mix of patience and aggression — an average of about 54 moves before victory, suggesting a fondness for long, strategic battles (or perhaps a preference for plotting while waiting for opponents to blunder).
Speaking of blunders, Iabsbw’s tilt factor stands at a modest 9, which means losing a few games doesn’t send them spiraling into the abyss of rage — just a slight grimace, and they're back analyzing openings. Their favorite time to play? The magical hour of 18:00, where the win rate skyrockets to 100%! Perhaps they brew the perfect cup of chess-fuelled coffee just in time.
Opening Preferences
- Blitz: Queens Pawn Opening with a flawless 100% win rate. Yes, Queens DO rule here.
- Rapid: Sicilian Defense and Center Game Accepted shine with perfect win percentages.
- Bullet: They enjoy the French Defense Knight Variation, scoring a respectable 75% there, but steer clear of Van t Kruijs Opening (0% wins — caution advised!).
The Comebacks and Challenges
With a comeback rate of 65%, Iabsbw refuses to give up easily, rallying after setbacks like a warrior on a chess battlefield. Battles can be tough, though: when facing higher-rated opponents, wins drop to around 20%, but against lower-rated foes, they confidently take 85% of the spoils.
Recent Battles & Tales from the 64 Squares
In a recent Blitz encounter, Iabsbw triumphed over cbs358 by winning on time – a classic case of patience and clock mastery! Another shining moment was a Rapid victory by resignation, showcasing not just brute force but psychological prowess forcing opponents to concede.
However, not every day is a winning streak. In a recent game against the formidable MC-Crystal, Iabsbw found themselves checkmated — proof that even the greatest tacticians can be caught off guard. But look out opponents, Iabsbw’s longest winning streak is an impressive 9 games, so the good times often outweigh the tough ones.
