Chloe Gaw - Woman International Master (WIM)
Known in the chess world by her fierce username kinghunter183, Chloe Gaw is no ordinary chess player. Having earned the prestigious title of Woman International Master from FIDE, Chloe combines tactical brilliance with a dash of flair – often leaving opponents wondering if they’re playing a grandmaster or a chess-playing ninja in disguise.
Rating Journey & Playing Style
From humble beginnings with a bullet rating of around 1165 in 2020, Chloe skyrocketed to a peak rating of 2546 in bullet chess by 2025. Her blitz and rapid ratings are just as impressive, consistently hovering above 1900 and even crossing the 2000-mark in rapid. In daily chess, her numbers might look modest, but don’t be fooled – she probably just prefers the adrenaline rush of the faster formats!
Chloe is the queen of comebacks, boasting an astonishing 87.18% comeback rate and a near-mythical 97.91% win rate even after losing pieces. If you snatch a pawn from her, prepare for an epic revenge. Her games often stretch to over 75 moves on average when winning, signaling a patient strategist who loves a good battle of attrition.
Match Record & Rivalries
Chloe’s overall win rates are delightful: winning over half her bullet games with a cool 53.88% and an even more impressive 57.73% in blitz. She has faced many opponents – some like “flubs” and “lbrahim-saber77” never stood a chance, as she sports a 100% win rate against them. However, some adversaries have been tougher nuts to crack. Still, few can deny her consistency and stamina across thousands of games.
Psychology & Quirks
Despite her ferocity, Chloe maintains a surprisingly low tilt factor of 19, proving she’s not only tactically sharp but mentally resilient. She plays some of her best chess early in the week, with Thursday bringing her an almost mystical 57.37% win rate. Fun fact: she’s especially dangerous around 9 am and 6 am (yes, she’s an early morning warrior) where her win rate spikes above 60%.
Fun Fact
With an “early resignation rate” under 4%, Chloe is a finisher. She’s not one for throwing in the towel, so be ready to grind deep into the endgame – where she thrives, participating in nearly 82% of her games.
In conclusion, Chloe Gaw’s chess career is a masterclass in tenacity, tactical prowess, and a sprinkle of playful cunning. Whether you’re a chess lover or a casual fan, watching Chloe’s games is like witnessing a thrilling series where the underdog refuses to stay down – and often claims the crown.
Coaching Feedback for Chloe Gaw
Hi Chloe! I reviewed some of your recent games and here is some constructive feedback to help you improve your chess skills.
Strengths
- Opening Choice & Development: Your use of the Nimzowitsch-Larsen Attack and some Scandinavian Defense lines shows you like flexible, dynamic openings. You develop pieces nicely and castle early, which is great for king safety.
- Active Play: You often push for active piece play and create attacking chances, such as pushing pawns to challenge your opponent's bishop or control center squares. This is important for keeping pressure on your opponents.
- Calculation and Tactical Awareness: In winning games, you capitalize on tactical opportunities effectively and finish with precise moves like the final checkmate in your last win.
Areas to Work On
- Handling Exchanges and Material: In some losses, exchanges (especially of bishops and queens) occurred that led to you giving up important control or losing tempo. Study when to exchange pieces and when to keep tension.
- Positional Planning: There are moments where pawn structure and piece coordination can be improved. For example, pushing pawns too early or creating weaknesses in your position allowed opponents to capitalize. Work on planning your pawn moves carefully and improving your pieces' harmony.
- Time Management: Some losses happened due to running low on time or in complex positions where better time allocation could help. Practice managing your clock in fast games, perhaps by identifying critical moments early and spending a few extra seconds thinking through them.
- Endgame Technique: In a few games, endgame technique could be strengthened, such as pushing passed pawns or activating king and rook more effectively. Reviewing basic endgame principles can help convert close games to wins.
Suggested Focus Areas
- Study opening lines you like to deepen understanding of typical plans and traps.
- Work on tactical puzzles regularly to sharpen spotting tactics faster.
- Practice strategic and positional concepts like pawn structure, outposts, and weak squares.
- Review classical endgames — king and pawn endings, rook endings — to improve conversion of advantages.
- Try longer time controls occasionally to give yourself time to think more deeply.

Keep up the good work and enjoy your chess journey!
