James R Adair - International Master
Meet James R Adair, a chess warrior who has earned the esteemed title of International Master from FIDE—because clearly, just being good at puzzles wasn’t enough. Over the years, James has blitzed, bulleted, and battled daily to chess glory, demonstrating a style marked by tactical cunning, psychological grit, and an uncanny ability to snatch victories from the jaws of defeat.
Rating Rollercoaster
Starting life at a Blitz rating just over 1300 back in 2011, James soared to a peak Blitz rating of an eye-popping 2792 by 2024—one move away from superhero status. His Bullet rating didn’t slouch either, peaking near 2673, making his fingers twitch lightning-fast across the board. A Daily player too, James enjoys a more leisurely pace but still keeps the win rate respectable, topping out around 2439.
Chess Style & Panache
James is not just a player but a master tactician: a comeback rate of 89% and a stunning 100% win rate after losing a piece show that giving up isn’t in this player’s dictionary (nor is early resignation—less than 1%!). Averaging about 78 moves per win and not fearing the long grinds (endgames occur in over 80% of his games), James thrives in the battlefield of brains and patience. Oh, and White pieces? 63% wins. Black? Still a solid 57%. So, no matter the color, James is a force.
Record-Breaking Streaks
With a longest winning streak cracking 25 games, James has had runs that make even computers jealous. Although current streaks might be on pause, the fire burns ready to reignite anytime.
Arch-nemeses & Recent Opponents
From battling “gaprindashvilivaleri” to facing “kingpanda13,” James’ recent opponents cover a colorful spectrum of chess personalities. Some opponents have been stubborn foes (win rates at zero!), while others have fallen like dominoes. The player has faced “somepatzer” a whopping 67 times, proving persistence is key.
Secret Weapon: The "Top Secret" Opening
James’s opening moves? Well, let’s just say they're Top Secret. This mysterious approach has yielded him a stellar Blitz win rate over 57%, and an even sharper Bullet win rate of over 67%. Daily games? An astonishing 72% success—but shh, don’t tell the competition.
