Johann Webersberger (aka Duratschok)

International Master of Chess

Meet Johann Webersberger, a chess maestro who holds the esteemed title of International Master from FIDE. Known in the chess circles as Duratschok, Johann is a formidable opponent whose tactical awareness and endgame prowess could make even the toughest grandmaster sweat.

Johann’s chess journey is a rollercoaster of brilliance. His blitz rating peaked impressively at 2559 in April 2020, showcasing his rapid-fire decision-making skills. Not to be outdone, his rapid and bullet ratings reached notable highs of 2321 and 2202 respectively, proving his versatility across all time controls.

Despite facing fierce competition, Johann has amassed a staggering 1,094 wins in blitz, often outwitting his opponents with a mix of crafty openings and relentless pressure. His favorite opening might just be a well-guarded secret, but with a perfect 100% win rate in daily games using this strategy (across seven games, no less!), he's clearly onto something!

Johann is known for his calm demeanor and rarely resigns early—his early resignation rate is a modest 0.78%, which means he fights for every pawn like a chess gladiator. His longest winning streak of 10 games speaks volumes about his consistency and hunger for victory.

Whether it’s grinding out a methodical endgame (he plays the endgame in nearly 80% of his games!) or bouncing back with impressive comebacks (an 85% comeback rate!), Johann’s games are a lesson in determination and strategic depth. His preference for playing some of his best chess late at night (best time to play: 03:00 AM) makes you wonder if he’s part chess player, part chess wizard.

Off the board, Johann's record against his frequent rival florianschwabeneder is a spirited saga of battles, peppered with close calls and thrilling finishes. While he might have a few rough patches, Johann’s resilience and tactical mind always keep him in the fight.

With countless wins under his belt, top-notch ratings, and a playful approach to a seriously intimidating game, Johann Webersberger is a chess player who proves that brains, grit, and a little bit of mystery can checkmate any challenge.
