Joseph Paul - The AntillesPearl of the Chessboard

Joseph Paul is a chess enthusiast whose journey through the 64 squares is filled with tales of both glorious peaks and humbling valleys. Known online by his handle antillespearl, Joseph’s story reads like a rollercoaster fueled by a mix of bravado, resilience, and the occasional early resignation (we’re looking at that 23% early quit rate!).

Starting off strong in 2015 with a Daily rating hovering around 1300, Joseph’s peak was a commendable 1458 in his early years. However, like any epic saga, there were battles lost — often more losses than wins, but hey, who’s counting when you fight with heart? His current Daily rating in 2021 dipped to 770, proving even chess warriors face rough patches.

Joseph loves a good opening gambit, especially the King's Pawn Opening, where he boasts a respectable 50% win rate. Queens Pawn Opening is another favorite, shining with nearly 70% success—a true queen in his repertoire!

Though bullet and blitz are not his main stages, with just a handful of games played, Joseph embraces the slow game, relishing endgames almost half the time he plays. His wins usually take about 44 moves, but losses drag on longer—proof he battles until the very end… or until the clock runs out.

Joseph’s psychological makeup is fascinating: a tilt factor of 69 suggests a passion that can sometimes overwhelm, yet his tactical awareness shines with an impressive 50% comeback rate and a perfect 100% win rate after losing a piece. When life takes a chess piece, Joseph takes it personally and fights back fiercely.

His favorite time to play? Early mornings (midnight to 10 am) appear to bring out his best, with astonishingly high win rates, while Fridays also seem to favor his style. Perhaps his coffee is stronger then—or the opponents weaker.

Public enemy number one for Joseph appears to be the analytics of chess robots, but he remains undefeated against many online usernames, proudly owning 100% win records against opponents with names ranging from acefina to wickedchessmaster (well, names as colorful as “airocean1234” or “leboca-chess” anyway).

In short, Joseph Paul is a meme-worthy chess character. Armed with a knack for making comebacks, a love for strategic openings, and a tendency to occasionally surrender... but always with style. Whether he’s grinding through 50+ moves or dropping out early to preserve dignity, “antillespearl” remains a beloved figure in the world of casual chess warriors. Checkmate? Not yet!
