Jan Malek - The Grandmaster Known as forevery0ung

Jan Malek, who battles on the 64 squares under the username forevery0ung, is no ordinary chess player. Granted the prestigious title of Grandmaster by FIDE, Jan doesn't just play chess; Jan lives it — studies it, dreams it, and occasionally outruns opponents who thought they had the upper hand.

Starting with a steady climb through the ranks, Jan's blitz rating skyrocketed from modest beginnings around 1500 all the way to a peak flirting with the monumental 2968 rating in early 2025, a feat that sends shivers down the spines of even the strongest challengers. Not one to be pigeonholed, Jan's prowess extends beyond blitz, wielding solid performances in bullet, rapid, and daily formats as well, proving that speed and strategy can coexist beautifully.

Known for a tactical awareness that boasts an impressive 84% comeback rate, Jan thrives on turning the tables when the chips are down — or more fittingly, when a piece is lost. With an endgame frequency nearing 80%, opponents often feel the pitfall only after the final curtain call. And while Jan's psychological tilt factor may flirt with the average, resilience is never in question.

Versatile in openings, Jan takes both mystery and tradition seriously. Whether it’s the enigmatic "Top Secret" line or the classic French Defense, Jan maintains a win rate that hovers comfortably above 50%. The ability to wield openings like the French Defense Advance Paulsen Euwe Variation with a flawless 100% win record speaks volumes about preparation and adaptability.

What sets Jan apart is not just the numbers but the style: an average game length of around 75 moves, demonstrating patience and endurance — qualities as crucial as a sharp mind. White pieces bring a slight edge, with a win rate just under 50%, whereas with Black, Jan's cool-headed approach keeps opponents guessing.

And Jan’s recent games? A dazzling display of precise execution. Take the latest victory by checkmate after orchestrating a strategic assault reminiscent of a grandmaster’s symphony — it’s clear that forevery0ung doesn’t just play chess; Jan conducts a masterpiece every time they sit at the board.

Whether lighting up the board with tactical fireworks in blitz or grinding down opponents in longer formats, Jan Malek is a name chess enthusiasts respect and fear — a grandmaster whose youthfulness is eternal, but whose skills are timeless.
