Profile Summary: cjhopski

Meet cjhopski, a relentless chess adventurer who navigates the 64 squares with a mix of tenacity, occasional blunders, and a dash of strategic flair. Rated around the humble yet spirited Rapid peak of 595 and a respectably puzzling Daily max of 917, cjhopski's journey is less about grandmaster glory and more about the thrill of the game—and sometimes the agony of defeat.

With a nearly even lifetime record in Rapid chess (162 wins vs. 163 losses), and a slightly tougher time in Daily games (2 wins, 10 losses), cjhopski embodies the classic underdog spirit: never giving up, often resigning early to save dignity (early resignation rate ~10%), yet showing remarkable endurance with an average of almost 52 moves per win. When the going gets tough, this player fights back impressively, boasting a solid 70% comeback rate—the eternal phoenix rising!

Opening Repertoire Highlights

• Scandinavian Defense: cjhopski's secret weapon with a respectable 65.85% win rate, proving that sometimes unconventional openings can pay off.
• Queen’s Pawn Opening: Also a favorite, with an impressive 70% win rate, showing a flair for controlling the center.
• King's Pawn Opening: Played frequently, though with mixed results (38.89% win rate), reflecting a willingness to engage in classical battles and learn from every setback.

Interestingly, cjhopski tends to shine brightest around noon (best time to play: 12:00 PM) and prefers crafting victories as Black (Black win rate ~49.4%), sneaking wins when opponents least expect it.

Notable Streaks & Rivalries

This warrior once enjoyed a 10-game winning streak, proving that consistency can happen—even if briefly. Currently riding a modest 3-game streak, cjhopski remains poised for more. Among notable opponents, cjhopski has a perfect record against matii_0104, julian_lr, and raven1991, adding a bit of swagger to those matchups.

Recent Battles

The latest victory was a brilliant checkmate over matii_0104 in a Queen’s Pawn Opening clash, demonstrating patience and tactical awareness. On the flip side, recent losses to tough adversaries like ashrafXOX and imm_tsuki remind us that even the best stumble—often spectacularly.

A Few Fun Facts

• Average game lengths hover just shy of 50 moves, because giving up early is for quitters (unless strategically necessary).
• White pieces yield slightly fewer wins (44.57%) than Black, so cjhopski might just be the ultimate counter-puncher.
• Despite a tilt factor of 9 (yes, the occasional frustration is real), comeback skills are top-notch, showing admirable resilience.

In short, cjhopski is not just playing chess; they're on a quest filled with learning, laughs, near-misses, and sometimes sweet victories. Whether you're a grandmaster or a casual fan, watching cjhopski’s games is a reminder that chess is as much about heart as it is about moves.

Long may their pawns advance and queens dance across the board!
