Jan Murawski - Candidate Master Extraordinaire
Meet Jan Murawski, a chess virtuoso cheekily known as JanMur7 in the digital arena. Awarded the prestigious Candidate Master title by FIDE, Jan is not just your average piece mover — Jan is a tactical wizard weaving intricate webs on the 64 squares.
A Journey Through the Ranks
Starting from humble beginnings with a blitz rating of around 1300 in 2018, Jan's rating graph looks less like a flat line and more like a thrilling rollercoaster — with a steep ascent peaking over 2400 in blitz by 2025! Bullet ratings have exploded too, reaching nearly 2460, while rapid play isn't left behind, peaking just above 2030.
Style and Strategy
Jan plays a solid yet adventurous game. With a White win rate nudging over 53%, attacking from the front lines is a favorite pastime. The Giuoco Piano Opening is Jan's playground, boasting win rates approaching 70% in blitz format, while the versatile Indian Game also makes frequent appearances. But beware the Top Secret opening - Jan's less pampered strategy (just a 9% win rate there) reminds us even masters have their Kryptonite.
Psychology and Play Patterns
Jan’s brain runs hottest around 8 AM, with a peak win rate at the crack of dawn — perfect timing to start your day checkmating foes before breakfast. Speaking of resilience, a remarkable comeback rate of 58% means Jan never throws in the towel early, even when down material. However, a 'tilt factor' soaring at 85 suggests emotions can make this maestro passionate, if not occasionally impulsive.
Recent Battles
As recent as June 3, 2025, Jan dazzled opponents with razor-sharp play. In blitz duels, Jan routinely wins by resignation, showing a psychological edge by pressing opponents until they concede defeat over the board. Whether against "ChessVegaAcademy" or "grandcoach," Jan’s combination of strategy and nerves of steel entitled victory.
Fun Facts & Trivia
- Longest winning streak: 46 games — a nearly mythical run!
- Average game length: around 52 moves per win — why rush greatness?
