Awonder Liang (rednova1729)
Grandmaster Extraordinaire
Meet Awonder Liang, a chess prodigy who has officially earned the title of Grandmaster from FIDE — the international gatekeeper of mind-boggling talent.
Since storming the chess scene around 2017, Awonder has consistently dazzled opponents across the board, racking up a blitz peak rating of a staggering 3288 in July 2023—proof that lightning-fast moves are their specialty. Not to be outdone, their bullet rating soared above 3100, and their rapid game peaked impressively at just over 3100 as well.
Awonder’s style? Think of it as a mix of steely nerves and tactical wizardry. With a come-from-behind success rate near 77% and an uncanny knack for turning losses into wins, this player laughs in the face of adversity. While some mortals ragequit early, Awonder’s early resignation rate remains a humble ~12%, because why give up when victory is just a brilliant move away?
Whether it's performing openings under the highest secrecy (the majority of games are lovingly categorized as "Top Secret") or expertly wielding defenses like the Queen's Gambit Accepted Old Variation, this grandmaster's repertoire is as eclectic as it is effective with a solid ~56% win rate in blitz games.
Their competitive record is nothing short of impressive:
- Blitz wins: 1878
- Bullet wins: 1845
- Rapid wins: 72
And just to keep challengers on their toes, Awonder boasts a longest winning streak of 55 games. Imagine winning 55 games in a row while your opponents wonder if your pieces possess minds of their own.
Awonder battles frequently with favorites like danielnaroditsky and 0gzpanda, forging rivalries that keep the chess world buzzing. While even grandmasters have off days, Awonder's tilt factor stands at a respectable 27 — far from the hot-headed amateur yelling at their screen.
Most recently, Awonder’s chess prowess was on full display during a game on May 31, 2025, when rednova1729 calmly outplayed Immortal_legend710 with a smooth Queen’s Gambit Accepted Old Variation, winning by resignation and leaving chess fans wondering if the opponent's king needed counseling.
So whether you’re here for jaw-dropping bullet speed, meticulous blitz strategy, or solid rapid play, Awonder Liang (aka rednova1729) is a grandmaster who continues to push the boundaries of chess greatness with just the right touch of brilliance—and perhaps a pinch of grandmaster mischief.
