Jérémy "Stawow" Stawowczyk
Meet Jérémy Stawowczyk, a rapid chess enthusiast whose game swings through epic highs and humbling lows — a rollercoaster worthy of a thriller! Known simply as Stawow on the board, Jérémy embraces the chaos of the rapid format, where every second counts and panic can turn a sure win into a queen-hunting adventure.
Rapid Rating Rollercoaster
Jérémy’s journey through rapid chess ratings in 2025 is the stuff of legends. Starting modestly at 234, he soared to a peak rating of 420 by June — proving that some heroes wear robes, others just wield pawns with unmatched passion. This upward climb wasn’t without setbacks, facing more losses than wins at times, but his resilience shines through with a comeback rate of over 73%—because giving up early just isn't in his playbook.

Variety is the spice of Jérémy’s chess life. With a spicy Van t Kruijs Opening boasting a staggering 90% win rate, he’s not afraid to dive into less trodden paths. He also flexes impressive skills in the Alekhine's Defense with a solid 75% win rate and maneuvers the classic King's Pawn Opening with a close to 50% success score.
Let's just say his opponents never quite know what to expect — whether it’s a stealthy Scandinavian or an aggressive Leonardis Variation, Stawow plays with the style of a grandmaster and the spirit of a gambit-loving pirate.
Battle Scars & Victories
Streaks? Oh, he has them! His longest winning streak is a solid 6 games, proving his ability to heat up the board. On the flip side, longest losing streak hits 8, reminding us even the best fall off the horse before galloping again.
Psychological Warfare & Playstyle
Stawow’s brain gets supercharged at 6 AM—his best time of day to unleash tactical wizardry. While he's got a tilt factor of 8 (because who hasn’t flipped a virtual board?), his average game length stays impressively long at nearly 70 moves, showing a fondness for epic endgames where patience and nerves of steel reign supreme.
Fun fact: his early resignation rate is under 3%, proving he fights for every pawn and square like his life depends on it.
Head-to-Head Highlights
Despite occasionally struggling against highly rated foes, Stawow’s record against frequent opponents like zbanzzzu9 might be a bit rocky (12% win rate), but against many others, he’s a nightmare — boasting 100% win records against an impressive list of adversaries. Clearly, some opponents just aren’t ready for his rapid-fire attacks.
Signature Victory
One of Stawow’s recent masterpieces ended with a glorious checkmate against 1313nermin, crowning a tense 65-move duel in which he danced through exchanges and survived attacks to deliver the final queen-led smackdown.
In the kaleidoscope world of rapid chess, Jérémy Stawowczyk proves that passion, persistence, and occasional mad tactical flair make the game much more colorful — and way more fun. Keep an eye on Stawow, the rapid phoenix rising from checkmates and blunders alike.
Feedback for Jérémy Stawowczyk
Jérémy, reviewing your recent games, I see some clear strengths as well as areas with potential for improvement. Let's go over some key points:
Strengths
- Opening Play: You often start with solid and classical openings such as the Four Knights Game and King's Pawn openings. This provides a good foundation and balance between development and control. Maintaining this consistency is excellent.
- Attacking Skills: You have demonstrated sharp attacking combinations and tactical awareness, often leading to checkmate or decisive material gain. The game against Mjpl8 where you delivered a checkmate on move 28 shows you know how to capitalize on weaknesses effectively.
- Patience in Endgames: Your recent win with a precise king and queen maneuver leading to checkmate indicates good endgame technique and focus.
Areas for Improvement
- Defense Under Pressure: Some losses indicate vulnerability when opponents launch aggressive attacks early on. For example, in the loss against Manjiirooo, a quick mating net was executed against you after you fell behind in development. Focus on improving your awareness and defense in sharp positions.
- Opening Variations: While your choice of openings is solid, occasionally experimenting with mainline moves instead of quieter sidelines (like 2.d3) may improve your position and reduce early tactical risks. Studying common traps and typical ideas in your chosen openings can help you avoid pitfalls.
- Piece Coordination: There are moments where your pieces are less coordinated, particularly in complex middlegames. It's critical to connect your pieces actively, control open files, and avoid passivity.
- Time Management: In rapid or blitz games, you have spent a good amount of time early, but sometimes made hurried decisions in complex situations. Try practicing positions slightly slower to build intuition and avoid blunders when the clock is ticking.
Recommendations
- Review your losses carefully and identify if certain positions or patterns consistently cause problems.
- Practice tactics puzzles daily to sharpen calculation and spotting defensive resources.
- Deepen your understanding of your favorite openings with theory and typical plans using opening theory.
- Analyze grandmaster games in the openings you play, focusing on middlegame plans and transitions to endgames.
- Try to maintain a balance between speed and accuracy; if time permits, think through critical moves carefully.
Inspiration from Your Recent Win
Your last victory showed excellent handling of a complex position and precise tactical execution culminating in checkmate. Keep reinforcing that strong sense of timing and visualization — it’s a hallmark of improving players!
Keep up the great work, stay consistent with training, and enjoy your chess journey!
