Dr. Joerg Teumer, Candidate Master
Dr. Joerg Teumer, known online as Elbebiber, is a FIDE Candidate Master whose chess career combines serious calculation with an admirable willingness to press the clock button thousands of times. The statistics paint a picture of a determined, highly experienced online competitor with a particular fondness for fast chess.
A Blitz Specialist with Staying Power
Blitz is Elbebiber's natural habitat. Across 531 recorded blitz games, the score stands at 205 wins, 256 losses, and 70 draws. The games are rarely brief affairs, either: the average game lasts about 85 moves, suggesting that Dr. Teumer is perfectly happy to keep fighting long after many players have started eyeing the resignation button.
His playing style is especially notable for its endurance. Endgames appear in 86.78% of recorded games, while the average win lasts roughly 84 moves and the average loss about 85 moves. In other words, Elbebiber does not merely enter the endgame. He appears to move in permanently.
Opening Repertoire
With the white pieces, Dr. Teumer frequently begins with 1.d4 and regularly explores inventive systems. In blitz, the Scandinavian Defense has been especially successful, producing a 52.63% win rate. The Australian Defense has matched that percentage, while the Caro-Kann Defense has delivered a remarkably balanced record.
His repertoire also includes the Bird Opening, the Alekhine Defense, the Amazon Attack, and the Benoni Defense. The Benoni Gambit Accepted has been one of his strongest large-sample choices, exceeding a 51% win rate in the available statistics. Conventional? Not always. Entertaining? Almost certainly.
Tactical Resilience
Elbebiber's statistics suggest a player who is difficult to discourage. The comeback rate is listed at 84.2%, and the longest winning streak reached 12 games. There has also been an 18-game losing streak, proving that even Candidate Masters occasionally experience the chess equivalent of a weather system. The important point is that Dr. Teumer keeps returning to the board.
The rook is his most common checking piece, and he is first to give check in just over half of the analyzed games. When he gets the initiative, his win rate improves substantially, making active play and practical pressure central features of his online style.
