Peter Kawar

Profile: Peter Kawar (aka KawarChess)

Once upon a chessboard, there lived a modest warrior named Peter Kawar, better known in the internet chess realm as KawarChess. Starting his journey in 2015 with a humble Rapid rating of just 1048, Peter has since faced thousands of battles—3,717 Rapid games to be precise—earning victories, defeats, and a few honorable draws along the way.

Peter’s timeline reads like a rollercoaster: from a single game in 2015 to an impressive 3717 Rapid matches by 2024, peaking at a respectable 1345 and averaging around 785. His Blitz adventures boast over 1,100 games with a high of 1318, while his Bullet career is a fast-paced sprint with fewer games but no less passion.

His most legendary moment? A jaw-dropping longest winning streak of 13 games, proving that when the stars align, nothing escapes KawarChess’s tactical grip.

Playing Style & Tendencies

• Endgame Enthusiast: Peter loves a long fight, with an endgame frequency of nearly 61%, savoring those delicate final moves.
• Patience Personified: Average moves per win hover around 58, but losses stretch longer at nearly 63 moves—because Peter never gives up easily.
• Resilience Hero: His comeback rate is an astounding 70%, and after losing a piece, he somehow wins 100% of the time. Apparently, losing a piece just motivates him more!
• Tilt Factor: A modest 11 out of 100 means he rarely lets frustration get the better of him—probably because he’s too busy plotting counters.

Victories & Opponents

Peter’s record is a near-balanced epic: over 2,000 wins and just under 2,140 losses in Rapid, showing he’s always willing to keep the fight going without fearing defeat. Against notable opponents, he’s got a mixed bag—slammed Steven101 with a flawless 100% win rate, but puunkaataja and raviakash remain pesky rivals with no wins yet.

Signature Openings

His opening repertoire remains a closely guarded “Top Secret,” spanning thousands of games. Whatever those moves are, they’ve netted him nearly a 48% win rate in Rapid and nearly 48% in Blitz, keeping opponents on their toes.

When to Challenege?

If you want to test your skills against KawarChess, he’s more successful in the wee hours—his peak win rate hovers around 62.5% at 10 AM, and he’s surprisingly fearless in the early mornings too (5 AM boasts a cool 53% win rate). Beware the mid-afternoon slump—somewhere around 1 PM, things get a little trickier for Peter.

In Summary
