Player Profile: Pawlo7278
In the vast world of online chess, Pawlo7278 has carved out a distinctive niche, not just with his keen strategic mind but also with a knack for surviving nerve-wracking endgames and outwitting foes through relentless tenacity.

Playing Style & Strengths
Pawlo7278 might just be the king of comebacks. With an incredible 85.65% comeback rate, he often transforms seemingly doomed positions into moments of glory. Sure, sometimes the inner chess devil tempts him to make early resignations (only 2.96% though, respectable!), but your typical Pawn Promoter compensates with high-level play buoyed by an average of nearly 87 moves per win — that’s stamina and commitment for you!
He prefers to mix his poison in blitz games (Preferred Time Control: Blitz), where his dynamism shines. Close inspection shows his cool-headed tactics allow him to maintain a balanced win rate across different days and hours — although you might catch him at his absolute best after the 5 pm tea break, as 17:00 is his BestTimeOfDayToPlay. Move over, Magnus, there’s a new time-of-day terror in town.
