While the player is undefeated against some rivals (shoutout to opponents like mayankjain29 and morphylawyer sitting at 100% win rate), warartz also faces challenges in tough rivalries, highlighting a journey full of exciting rivalries and battles.

Recent Chess Drama

Fun Fact

Warartz’s win rates by hour can sometimes be surprising: for example, a perfect 100% win ratio at 4 a.m. (albeit from limited games) and a rather puzzling 0% at 5 a.m.—perhaps the coffee hadn't kicked in yet?

Whether blitzing or pondering in rapid, warartz’s journey is a testament to love, endurance, and a dash of time-pressure drama on the chessboard. Here’s hoping more epic battles await for this resilient contender!
