Jeffrey Amos (btijjamos) - The Rapid Rollercoaster

Jeffrey Amos, known online as btijjamos, is a rapid chess enthusiast who has boldly navigated the thrilling ups and downs of the chessboard with a peak rating of 222 in September 2024. With a career sprinkled with a modest 111 wins against 187 losses and a handful of draws, Jeffrey's journey is nothing short of a spirited rollercoaster ride — because who wants a boring, straight climb anyway?

Opening Moves & Quirks

Jeffrey has a taste for the dramatic and unorthodox openings. While his record against the conventional King's Pawn Opening (47 games) is a bit rocky (just 13 wins), he shines spectacularly in the Englund Gambit, boasting an 80% win rate out of 10 games — proving he can take big risks and sometimes get lucky! The Undefined openings also seem to be his secret playground, where he clinches over half his games.

The Streaks: From Hero to Zero and Back

• Longest Winning Streak: 5 games (a brief moment of glory)
• Longest Losing Streak: 11 games (the true test of courage)
• Current Status: Riding a modest 2-game winning wave

Playing Style & Personality

Why resign early when you can keep your opponents guessing? Jeffrey has an early resignation rate of about 21%, which probably means he knows when to hold 'em and knows when to fold 'em (or maybe just folds early to preserve some dignity). His games tend to be longer when losing (average 27.5 moves) than when winning (about 19 moves), suggesting he fights tooth and nail even when the chips are down.

Psychologically, Jeffrey is a resilient player with a tilt factor of 11 — so yes, a little frustration sometimes, but nothing the next cup of coffee can't fix. Interestingly, his best time to play chess is at 1 AM. Night owl or just seeks the quiet calm of the wee hours for brain power? You decide!
