Profile Summary: bjoostebo

Meet bjoostebo, a rapid chess enthusiast whose journey through the 64 squares is as dynamic as their rating swings! With a peak rapid rating of 302 achieved in May 2025, they've experienced the highs and lows of the chess battlefield, dropping as low as 101 and averaging a steady 191 over 70 games. It's a rollercoaster worth cheering for, full of brilliant comebacks and some humbling defeats.

This player’s style could best be described as resilient with a dash of clever unpredictability. With an impressive longest winning streak of 9 games and a not-so-small longest losing streak of 7 (because even the best have their “chess blues”), bjoostebo maintains a tactical edge with a comeback rate of 57.58% — proving they don't just fold under pressure; they bounce back with style.

Opening Repertoire & Performance

Loyal to the King's Pawn Opening King's Knight Variation, boasting the highest win rate of 75% in this setup, bjoostebo knows how to charge at the center. Other trusty weapons include the King's Pawn Opening Leonardis Variation and good old-fashioned Bishop's Opening.

Although not every gambit paid off (looking at you, Blackmar Gambit with a modest 33% win rate), they’re always ready to tinker and improve their arsenal—sometimes throwing opponents off with clever surprises!

Stat Sheets & Notable Quirks

• Overall rapid record: 33 wins, 36 losses, 1 draw.
• Prefers playing and winning with the white pieces (53% win rate) over black (42%), but don't underestimate the dark side!
• Games tend to be thoughtful, with an average of 58 moves per win—long battles of wits rather than quick skirmishes.
• Endgame appearances in nearly half of their games showcase their endurance and strategic patience.
• Likes late evening battles—with a magical best play hour at 9 PM where they never seem to lose a game.

Chess Personality

With a tilt factor of just 7 (translation: keeps calm most times), bjoostebo shows psychological resilience—although a few unfortunate quick losses have happened, including one brilliant but disastrous "Fool’s Mate" type checkmate. But hey, every chess journey has its “oops” moments!

Who’s on their radar? Recent wins against daan2812 and jayisepic7 give bjoostebo bragging rights, but watch out for feetsaregood, who's been a pesky thorn with a 0% loss rate against our player.

Highlight Game

One of bjoostebo’s freshest victories was a swift, strategic win using the Pirc Defense, where a relaxing pawn push turned into a tangled web of forks and traps, forcing the opponent to abandon the game after only 19 moves. A true demonstration of sharp tactics and patience!

In sum, whether storming the center, patiently outmaneuvering opponents, or shrugging off a few losses with a grin, bjoostebo embodies the scrappy spirit of rapid chess. Game on!
