King_Anwar: The Underdog with a Gambit and a Smile
Meet King_Anwar, a chess player whose rating might not topple grandmasters yet, but whose heart, humor, and tenacity light up every board he graces. With a peak Rapid rating of 573 earned in early 2025, Anwar’s journey is a rollercoaster of exhilarating wins, tough losses, and the occasional brilliant comeback.
Chess Style & Personality
Known for an early resignation rate of just under 10%, King_Anwar is not one to give up easily, always hunting for that last chance to turn the tables. With nearly half of all games ending in a fierce endgame (about 50%), it’s clear Anwar likes a good, strategic tussle rather than a quick skirmish.
His games average around 45 moves for wins, and an even longer 53 moves for losses — proving he fights tooth and nail until the very end. When behind, he pulls off stunning comebacks with a remarkable 75% comeback rate, showing that losing a piece doesn’t mean losing hope.
Favorite Openings: The Fighters and the Mavericks
- Rapid's Star: The Scandinavian Defense – Anwar's favorite battlefield here, boasting an impressive 71% win rate across 14 games.
- Also in the arsenal: The classic King's Pawn Opening, where he holds his own with a respectable 41% win rate despite fierce opposition.
- Bonus fantasy: The Englund Gambit (yes, the risky crowd-pleaser), with sneaky traps and an occasional 37.5% win rate that keep opponents on their toes.
Notable Stats & Quirks
- Longest winning streak: 6 games – enough to make you think King_Anwar is on fire.
- Longest losing streak: 9 games – hey, even kings have their off days.
- Psychological resilience: A tilt factor of just 9 means he doesn’t throw his queen out of frustration often.
- Best time to play: 2 PM sharp – probably after a strong coffee and some good vibes.
- Performance by day: Thursdays are lucky (57% win rate), while Wednesdays sneakily bring a challenge (just 22%).
Recent Highlights

On the flip side, not every day is game-day glory: his latest loss came from a quick and crafty defeat by na-the-monk. But knowing Anwar, he's already plotting his comeback with a fresh Scandinavian Defense in his arsenal.
Versatility Across Speeds
Whether blitzing or bulleting, Anwar adapts with eagerness and robust spirit. While his Blitz peak rating is 348 and Bullet tops at 504, it’s the sheer love for the game and endless hours on the clock that truly define him.
