Player Profile: kerwack

Once a hopeful chess adventurer starting in 2019 with a Blitz rating just shy of 1000, kerwack has journeyed through the ranks with the determination of a grandmaster stuck in traffic.

Rating Rollercoaster

Kerwack’s playing strength has seen many twists and turns across all formats:

• Blitz: Peaked early at 1077 in 2019, then faced the harsh realities of rapid decision-making with ratings bouncing mid-400s to 500s in recent years.
• Rapid: Their shining format, with a peak rating of 818 in 2024 and a respectable average hovering around 700 since 2022—clearly the stage where kerwack battles most fiercely and often triumphs.
• Bullet: The high-speed adrenaline rush format saw highs above 1000 in 2021, but lately kerwack prefers to take it slower, averaging in the 400-600 range.
• Daily Chess: A modest experiment with just two games, resulting in humble beginnings and two losses. Slow and steady might not be their game!

Playing Style & Personality

kerwack is a strategic escapist who knows when to capitulate early with an early resignation rate of 8.4% (because who wants to suffer?!) but battles on with gritty endgames nearly half the time.

With an average of about 50 moves per game regardless of win or loss, they clearly enjoy the mid-game dance and tactical fireworks.

Speaking of tactics, their comeback prowess is admirable—over 60% when trailing, and an almost mythical 98.5% win rate after losing a piece. Let’s just say, kerwack doesn’t give up the ghost easily.

Battle Record and Rivals

Kerwack’s overall Blitz record is a perfect tie: 95 wins and 95 losses, a true equal-opportunity competitor. Rapid chess reveals a positive tilt with 224 wins vs 199 losses. Bullet… well, let’s say they’ve had some spicy adventures (26 wins to 49 losses).

Favorite opponent? nissan4e, against whom kerwack holds a perfect 100% win rate in recent matches, though some foes like scoogeiada have proven less welcoming (0%).

Secret Openings and Mysterious Strategies

While the specific openings remain top secret (perhaps even to kerwack themselves), the win rates hover around 50% in Blitz and Rapid—solid but leaving room for surprise moves and underdog victories.
