Maiwaruwu: The Relentless Chess Warrior

Maiwaruwu is not just a chess player; they are a rollercoaster of tactics, resilience, and occasional misfortune—for the opposition, of course. With a peak rapid rating of 1787 reached in April 2025, Maiwaruwu’s journey through the 64 squares is filled with dramatic comebacks, stubborn losses, and enough sacrifices to make a bishop weep.

Style & Strengths

Maiwaruwu’s games often resemble epic sagas: they don't shy from early resignations (1.07%, because sometimes it’s strategic!), and their endgame appearances are frequent (nearly 69%), showing a love for deep battles that go beyond the opening fireworks. Fans might admire how Maiwaruwu can sometimes stretch a loss into a marathon of 73 moves on average, while wrapping up wins in a neat package after about 53 moves.

One of the quirks that make Maiwaruwu stand out is the psychological rollercoaster: a 14% tilt factor hints that losing *may* provoke some dramatic keyboard storytelling, but the comeback rate hovers impressively around 69%—clearly a fighter who refuses to give up, even when the board tries to betray them.

Opening Repertoire

Preferring tried-and-true defenses and openings, Maiwaruwu has logged the most games with the Scandinavian Defense, Mieses-Kotrc Variation (78 games) with a respectable 39.7% win rate—a classic “I dare you to break through” approach. The Queen’s Pawn Opening, especially Zukertort Chigorin Variation, is also a favorite, with nearly a 47% win rate across 51 encounters.

The player’s blitz results are less glorious, with a peak blitz rating of 873, reminding us that speed chess might just be their “fun time” rather than their forte.

Wins, Losses, and That Darn Clock

In rapid games, Maiwaruwu has racked up 206 wins against 277 losses, with just a handful of draws. Time management might be a challenge sometimes: 141 losses on timeout tell stories of heart-stopping clock races and tense finales. But every timeout and tactical skirmish is part of the saga.
