Edwin Jees

Edwin Jees: The Enigmatic Chess Adventurer

Meet edwinjees, a player whose journey through the 64 squares is as colorful as it is competitive. Starting quietly but determinedly in late 2019, Edwin jumped into the chaos of Bullet, Blitz, Rapid, and Daily chess with a mix of ambition and perhaps a sprinkle of confusion at times.

Early Days and Peak Moments

Back in November 2019, Edwin reached his peak Bullet rating of 1039 and Blitz rating of 1119, followed closely by a Rapid high of 1158 in December. These peaks represent the moments when everything seemingly clicked — the pawns marched fearlessly forward, and the knights danced with purpose.

The Stats Behind the Moves

• Played over 1200 Bullet games with a win rate hovering at about 47%. Spoiler: not all pawns make it to promotion.
• Blitz battles reveal a fighter with a gritty 41% win rate over nearly 900 games.
• Rapid chess performance shows that even amid slower, thoughtful play, Edwin keeps the pressure, maintaining a respectable 39% win ratio.
• Daily chess may not be his domain of dominance, clocking in a humble 13% win rate — reflective perhaps of a preference for quicker, adrenaline-pumping games.

Notable Traits & Style

Edwin’s games typically unfold with an average of about 54 moves per win, showing endurance and patience when the battle intensifies. His early resignation rate of ~15% suggests that when a tactic doesn't land, he knows there’s always another battle ahead (because who likes when the king gets mated, right?).

His strength? A comeback rate of 84% — yes, that’s right, comeback king. Losing a piece? No problem, Edwin fights back with tenacity and regains control nearly half the time.

Timing Is Everything

Edwin plays best around 7 PM, with win rates soaring over 60% during this hour. Maybe the 7 PM coffee or sheer evening motivation primes the mind for pioneering chess exploits.

Curiously, his win rate at midnight and 9 PM drops to about 25% and even zero at 9 PM on some days, hinting that even chess warriors need their sleep (or at least less caffeine).

Openings? A Top Secret Affair!

When it comes to openings, Edwin keeps opponents guessing. His “Top Secret” strategy spans the widest range of games, though he’s dabbled successfully in classical variations like Petrovs Defense and the Kings Pawn Opening. We suspect some openings might be encrypted in chess code only he fully understands.

The Rivalry Chronicles

From fierce battles against foes like ap8055 and unleashes_007 to recent clashes with mikaelawins and nonoxio1, Edwin's competitive spirit is undeniable. His record shows resilience, with many opponents beaten multiple times and a few holding their mysterious edge.

Recent Adventures

In his latest victory against mikaelawins, Edwin demonstrated his tactical prowess, winning on time in a heated battle with the Petrovs Defense Classical Variation—a fitting end to a carefully fought game.

Of course, no chess journey is without bumps. As recently as May 2025, Edwin faced tough losses, including a rapid game against the cunning ironman406, which ended abruptly but surely provided valuable lessons for future encounters.

In Conclusion

Edwin Jees isn’t just another username on the leaderboard; he’s a narrative of perseverance, comebacks, occasional sacrifices, and a good dash of humor. Whether it’s blitzing through packs of pawns or cautiously navigating openings no one quite remembers, Edwin plays with heart—even if his pieces sometimes get lost in transit.
