Scruffy The Janitor

Scruffy The Janitor (aka R37nWy)

Meet Scruffy The Janitor, a legendary knight from the digital chessboard battlefield, armed not with a mop, but with a trusty mouse and an uncanny knack for checkmate. Known in the realm of chess.com as R37nWy, Scruffy is the janitor who cleans up on the leaderboard rather than the floors.

Rating and Style

Scruffy's bullet chess rating has soared impressively over the years, peaking at 1764 in April 2019, with blitz and daily play not far behind—blitz maxing out at 1730 and daily hitting a solid 800. His style? A blend of stubborn endgame persistence (boasting a 73.6% endgame frequency) and tactical comebacks with a mind-boggling 85.7% comeback rate. Early resignations? Only about 4.4% —the janitor doesn’t quit on the job!

Playing Personality

Scruffy embraces the queen’s gambit like a boss, consistently wielding the Queen's Pawn Opening Zukertort Variation with a winning edge of over 52%. When life (and opponents) throw him a curveball, he rallies back with nearly a 49% win rate even after losing a piece. If Scruffy were a superhero, his power would be "The Resignation Reverser." His psychological tilt factor hovers at a manageable 15, which means for Scruffy, tilt is only something you do on an office chair, not on the chessboard.
