Maxpowersmag hit a daily peak rating of 1396 back in October 2012, proving early on that they had spark. Although the rating has ebbed and flowed since, the passion remains steady. Blitz ratings peaked shy of 1040, while Rapid play saw a zenith at a respectable 1198—no slouch in any time format!

Recent Notable Games

Just recently, maxpowersmag executed a beautiful checkmate in a blitz battle using the Scandinavian Defense (ECO B01). Another highlight shows mastery in a Queen’s Pawn Opening — claiming victory with a swift mate finish.
