Jeffery Sarwer: The Man Who Loved More
Jeffery Sarwer is a FIDE Master who plays online as LoveUMore, a username that sounds like a love letter until you lose to it. Since bursting onto the board in 2013 with a humble blitz rating, he has become a marathon English-style fighter, a daily-thinking practical organ genius, and one of the most luminous everyday players you will meet.
FIDE may have officially stamped his title from FIDE, but his actual weapon is volume: more games, more moves, more comebacks, and more love.
The Never-ending Career Arc
Sarwer went from a 1366 blitz player in the summer of 2013 to a blitz peak of 2725 (2026-03-23). That rise is not a straight line; it is a dramatic, undulating story of great moods, overnight sessions, and a near 88 percent comeback rate. This is the same profile with a longest winning streak of 18 and a longest losing streak of 12, which he treats as no more than a rest period.
Fans can watch the full shape of that climb with a single chart:
Opening Identity
Against the white pieces, Sarwer is not scared of turning the game technical. He has spent over 900 games in the King's Indian Defense]: Accelerated Averbakh, a taste that suggests he enjoys a good pawn tension and a quiet centre with blood hidden inside. Against black, he appears in records as a lifelong friend of the [[Link, suspiciously begins with f6 and lets opponents calculate everything by themselves.
Oldies overhearing his opening philosophy would still not prepare you for the odd facts about Benzero, since he also dives into Benko Gambit with sharp confidence. The more he plays, the more likely the game ends in an endgame, his profile shows endgames around 86 percent of the time; Sarwer does not run.
This little demonstration captures his most famous role of "black mo matter" style:
Rivalries and Repeat Clients
Sarwer's profile is built on long-term romantic rivalries. He has met Mark Kotliar 54 times, and the series is close enough to be an online chess soap opera: 25 wins for Sarwer, 27 for kot60, and only two handshakes. He has also locked horns 51 times with Mihai Ionescu, always bringing his tyre.
- Mark Kotliar: 25 wins, 27 losses, 2 draws.
- Mihai Ionescu: 26 wins, 19 losses, 6 draws.
- Nebojsa Djordjevic: 14 wins, 21 losses, 7 draws.
Every rival receives the same LoveUMore treatment: complete attention, no apology, and plenty of late-night chess.
Daily Life
Even though his blitz schedule looks like a marathon, Sarwer's profile marks Daily as the preferred time control. He is the strange player who hikers in a hurry, and then, when the clock becomes a day, he turns patient. His small Daily sample is almost dangerously strong, a reminder that he simply one more thought.
He is most powerful near 1 AM, and if you meet him there, love you more may not be a text: it may be a checkmate. Mostly, he is proof you don't need only time; you need the choice to love the board more.
