Profile Summary: shavow81

Meet shavow81, a chess adventurer navigating the 64 squares with a flair for the unpredictable and a penchant for the dramatically timed resignation. With a peak blitz rating of 887 achieved in April 2025 and a rapid best of 1083, shavow81 is no stranger to the rollercoaster of rapid battles and blitz duels, proving that consistency may be overrated when you can keep your opponents guessing.

Blitz might be their battlefield of choice, logging over 1,700 games with a balanced tally of wins and losses that shows resilience and a stubborn refusal to give up — unless it’s a swift resignation, which happens about 9.3% of the time. Endgames are quite their thing, showing up in over half their games, making shavow81 a player with stamina and patience for the long haul.

Their opening repertoire spans from cryptic “Top Secret” lines to beloved classics like the King’s Pawn Opening Knights Variation boasting over 60% win rate, and sneaky tactics in the Scandinavian Defense Mieses Kotrc Variation. However, a venture into the Italian Game or the Scotch Game might feel a bit like trying on shoes two sizes too small, with win rates hanging around 20-30%.

A seasoned tactician, shavow81 boasts a remarkable 72.7% comeback rate after setbacks and nimbly bounces back with a nearly 43% success rate even after losing a piece — like a phoenix rising from the ashes of blundered pawns and forgotten forks.

In a perfect world, their best moves emerge around noon, where they hit a sweet spot boasting their highest win rate by hour — chess lunch break, anyone? However, beware their tilt factor of 11, hinting that even the strongest warriors can get a little salty when the board isn't quite cooperating.

Off the board, shavow81 is a sharp competitor with a streaky streak history: 17 games winning streak at their zenith, balanced by a humbling longest losing streak of 11 rounds. They've bested a long list of opponents, including the mysterious “bvcder567” and the ever-challenging “mjau31”, with some rivalries pushing win rates to 100% and others tempering their record.

When it comes down to the wire, shavow81 often closes their games with a good old-fashioned resignation, preferring to retreat gracefully rather than dance endlessly in precarious positions. Yet they also clinch decisive victories by checkmate and timeout — proving adaptability even when the clock ticks menacingly.

In short: shavow81 might not always dominate the leaderboard, but they play with the heart of a gladiator, a love for variety in openings, and a talent for making every game an unpredictable spectacle. Here’s to many more battles on the chessboard, wins, losses, and all the unexpected glory in between.
