Jop Delemarre: The International Master of Top Secret Openings
Known in the chess realm as chesstrainerjop, Jop Delemarre holds the prestigious title of International Master awarded by FIDE, a badge earned not just through skill but undeniable tenacity.
Starting with a humble Daily rating of 1200 back in 2014, Jop's chess journey has been anything but ordinary. While the Daily games might sometimes reflect a laid-back vibe — with ratings dipping to 400 in 2022 only to rebound to 919 by 2023 — it's the Blitz battlefield where Jop truly shines. Between 2018 and 2021, ratings skyrocketed from 2013 to an impressive peak of 2400, showcasing lightning-fast thinking and a killer instinct.
Jop's secret weapon? Apparently, it's the mysterious “Top Secret” opening, boasting a consistent 60% win rate in both Daily and Blitz formats. The exact moves remain classified, probably protected by a 64-move-long winning streak — yes, Jop once won 11 games in a row! Opponents beware: whether it's cadonis or klasaodigraca, Jop has a 100% win rate against some rivals, while showing mercy and humility elsewhere.
Playing Style & Psychological Edge
With an Endgame Frequency of 65%, Jop embraces the long haul, savoring each subtle maneuver. The average game stretches over 60 moves, proving patience is more than a virtue—it's a winning strategy. The comeback rate is a staggering 79%, and when Jop loses a piece, the win rate jumps to a perfect 100%. It’s almost like the game's challenge fuels a burning desire to triumph.
Psychologically, Jop keeps a commendable tilt factor of 4, which in chess terms means if frustration was a chess piece, it would be off the board. Plus, a 7.78% higher win rate in rated games compared to casual play shows Jop turns the pressure into power.
