Andre Joseph

Andre Joseph (andrejosep)

Andre Joseph is a chess player with a penchant for thrill, occasional heartbreak, and a dash of unpredictability on the 64 squares. With a Blitz rating peaking at 285 in 2023 and a Rapid rating reaching 229 the same year, Andre's journey is a rollercoaster ride that every opponent secretly enjoys (or endures).

Playing Style & Strengths

Known for a somewhat impulsive style, Andre has an early resignation rate of nearly 32% — because why suffer when you can dramatically bow out and plot your next surprise? He often battles deep into the game, averaging about 34 moves per win or loss, proving he's no stranger to gritty endgames, which he encounters roughly 28% of the time.

While black pieces grant him a slight edge (38% win rate vs. 36% as white), his tactical awareness is a highlight: a perfect 100% win rate after losing a piece! Talk about turning the tables when the odds look grim.

Favorite Openings & Quirks

Andre shows devotion to the King's Pawn Opening, achieving a solid 50% win rate over 28 Blitz games. The Bishop's Opening, however, is his secret weapon with a striking 67% success rate in Blitz. Meanwhile, he seems to have a love-hate relationship with the Englund Gambit, scoring zero wins from 4 Blitz attempts — a gamble that rarely pays off.

In Rapid games, Andre brings out some less conventional lines like the Kadas Opening Koola Koola Variation with a perfect 100% win rate in 2 games. Clearly, he's not afraid to experiment and keep opponents guessing.

Opponent Chronicles

Andre's recent adversaries include joker8890, helenawe, and drunkbishop89 — three names that apparently have his number, since he holds a 0% win rate against each. Conversely, he's undefeated against aycolpan11, boasting a flawless 100% winning record. It’s safe to say Andre’s relationships on the chessboard are anything but dull.

Timing & Trends

Turns out Andre prefers to play on Saturdays and mid-afternoons when his win rate hits a respectable 50%-60%. Playing after 9 PM is less lucky, with a mysterious zero percent win rate at 21:00 and 22:00 hours — perhaps a bedtime issue?

Fun Facts

• Longest winning streak: 6 games. Not bad for a fighter who knows how to bounce back.
• Has a tilt factor of 11 — meaning when things go south, emotions may follow. But hey, who doesn't get a little emotional over a lost queen?
• Impressively, Andre maintains a 29.7% comeback rate, showing resilience in the face of adversity.

In summary, Andre Joseph is a resilient, daring player who embraces the chaos of chess — capturing hearts and occasionally losing pieces, but always coming back with a clever counter. Opponents beware: even after a bad start, Andre might just have a trick or two left up his sleeve.
