Title: Candidate Master (FIDE)

Play Style & Strengths
Elbebiber loves to wrestle through long battles, showing tremendous stamina with an average of 83 moves per win and a strong penchant for endgames, as indicated by an 86.7% endgame frequency. Early resignation is rare, only about 0.45% of the time—because giving up early isn’t in Joerg's scientific method!
With a comeback rate of 84% after losing a piece, Joerg's resilience under pressure is as impressive as a queen-side castle. However, don’t be fooled by the occasional tilt factor (a modest 14), this player’s psychological endurance shines brightest in the witching hour around 1 AM — the perfect time to checkmate sleepy opponents.
Opening Repertoire
Joerg experiments with openings like a chemistry professor mixing potions:
- Bullet: Favorites include Alekhine’s Defense (Scandinavian Variation) and the Trompowsky Attack, balancing nearly 800+ games each with win rates hovering around 46-47%.
- Blitz: Master of Scandinavian Defense Modern Marshall Variation and the sneaky Torre Attack, boasting a sharp 66.7% win rate in the latter.
- Rapid: A killer with the Scandinavian Defense Modern Marshall Variation, winning the only recorded rapid game with it, and a solid peak rapid rating above 2300!
Recent Highlights
Elbebiber's recent victories include a grinding win with the Slav Defense's modern variations, out-timing opponents with surgical precision and defensive wizardry. A recent defeat came in a tense London System battle, proving that even this master faces the humility of chess gods from time to time.
Personality on the Board
Known as a tactician with a microscope eye for position, Elbebiber’s games often feel like grand experiments: patient, precise, and occasionally unpredictable (like when choosing the Englund Gambit – a true mad scientist’s gambit!). With nearly 14,000 bullet games logged, Joerg is no stranger to the fast-paced chaos of online chess, maintaining composure and focus despite the rapid-fire blitz and bullet birds circling around.
So, whether you face Joerg over the board or online, expect a thoughtfully brewed concoction of science, strategy, and just a hint of beaver-like tenacity — watch out for those gnawing attacks!
