About Arjun Jorumi (Armoon99)

Arjun Jorumi, also known by his chess handle Armoon99, is a tenacious blitz and rapid player who battles it out on the 64 squares with a blend of stubbornness and flair. With a peak blitz rating of 773 in 2024, Arjun has shown he’s not one to back down easily — though sometimes his rating likes to take a little rollercoaster ride from 183 up to the heights, before settling down around the mid-600s.

In blitz, Arjun has played nearly 1900 games using the Top Secret opening — no spoilers! It has netted him a win rate just shy of 49%, reflecting a style that’s equal parts aggressive and strategic. In rapid, though the sample is modest, his 50% win rate shows he can hold his own at slower paces too.

Arjun’s long winning streak of 16 games is the stuff of legend (ok, at least neighborhood legend). However, current streaks are zero, proving even chess warriors have their off days.

Playing Style & Psychology

• Has a remarkably low early resignation rate (just 2.9%), meaning he fights till the bitter end — or until his mum calls for dinner.
• Comfortable in endgames, diving into them nearly 60% of the time, with average wins after about 57 moves — a true marathoner rather than a sprinter.
• White pieces bring out his best with a 51.6% success rate, while Black tests his patience slightly more at 45.8% wins.
• Showing impressive tactical resilience, Arjun boasts a stunning 100% win rate after losing a piece — maybe he’s just great at convincing opponents they made a mistake!
• Though a bit prone to tilt with a factor of 12, his comebacks are epic, clawing back victory 71% of the time after setbacks.

Fun Stats

Oddly enough, his best win rate happens on Saturdays at nearly 55%, so don’t bother challenging him then unless you want your ego bruised.

His sharpest hour? 1 AM, with a shocking 80% win rate — apparently, Arjun transforms into a chess ninja when most of us should be sleeping.

Against opponents like zyndx and alexiiiius, he boasts a perfect 100% score, but watch out for usop_nakamura and friends — they’ve managed to keep Arjun winless so far.

When not slaying on the virtual board, Arjun is probably concocting new opening secrets or practicing those endgame tablebase memorization drills. Or maybe just binge-watching chess memes.
