Captain Yossarian

Captain Yossarian (AC5720) - The Enigmatic Blitz Commander

Meet Captain Yossarian, a chess warrior whose battlefield is the 64 squares and whose weapon of choice is the blinking clock. With a peak blitz rating soaring to a commendable 2386 as of July 2020, Yossarian navigates the chaos of fast-paced chess like a seasoned pilot dodging anti-aircraft fire.

Known by the mysterious handle AC5720, Captain Yossarian’s style is a cocktail of tactical daring and psychological resilience. His early resignation rate is a staggering 57.29%, proving that sometimes the best strategy is knowing when to live to fight another day. Yet, with an impressive 72.74% comeback rate, he’s the chess equivalent of a phoenix rising from fiery losses.

His blitz stats tell tales of valor: out of nearly 500 blitz-games, Yossarian holds a strong win majority with 336 wins, lagging behind only in a relatively low draw count (42 draws)—because, in his world, a draw leaves the fate undecided. Bullet matches show a war fiercer with a near break-even win-to-loss ratio, underscoring a relentless fighting spirit.

Yossarian’s peak rapid rating of 1897 with a crushing 93.75% win rate in selective encounters suggests that when he slows down, he’s almost unbeatable. His longest winning streak of 152 games might sound mythical—and maybe it is—but it speaks volumes about periods when he invincibly dominated the battlefield.

When playing times matter, Captain Yossarian thrives in the witching hour—3 AM to be exact—where his win rates touch a mythical 100%. Maybe it’s the quiet, or perhaps his opponents are just too sleepy to resist his onslaught.

A Tactical Snapshot:

• Comeback rate: 72.74% — because giving up is not in his vocabulary.
• Win rate after losing a piece: 67.24% — making losses look like mere tactical redeployments.
• Average moves per win: 65 — proving patience is a virtue, even in blitz chess.
