Profile Summary: A V M (maxpowersmag)

Meet A V M, also known by the fearsome username maxpowersmag. A chess enthusiast with a career spanning over a decade, maxpowersmag has seen peaks, valleys, and some truly entertaining battles on the 64 squares.

Rating Rollercoaster

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!

Playing Style & Personality

Known for a relatively patient approach, A V M averages about 52 moves per game, whether winning or losing. Not one to throw in the towel easily, this player’s come-back rate is over 74% —the ultimate underdog spirit in action! But beware, a tilt factor of 13 suggests a few fiery moments after tough defeats. Their best game time? Early morning at 7 AM —while most of us are battling snooze buttons, maxpowersmag is busy battling bishops and knights.

Opening Repertoire

When it comes to openings, maxpowersmag loves a good Queen’s Pawn Opening and isn’t afraid to dive into the adventurous Scandinavian Defense (with a spicy twist!). Win rates speak for themselves: solid results with some surprise gambits like the Englund Gambit boasting an impressive 80% win rate—talk about unconventional charm!

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. Losses happen, of course, but even defeats come with lessons, such as a well-fought Queen’s Gambit Declined Chigorin Defense loss, proving that every setback fuels future comebacks.
