Profile Summary: Jose Carlos (genialica)

Meet Jose Carlos, affectionately known in the chess world as genialica, a player whose journey through the 64 squares is as colorful as his opening repertoire. Whether blazing through blitz rounds or calmly plotting in rapid games, Jose Carlos never fails to bring excitement (and sometimes surprise) to the board.

Rating Rollercoaster

Jose has seen a whirlwind of ratings: peaking at 511 in Blitz, a mighty 910 in Daily games, and an impressive 711 in Rapid chess. Clearly, this is a player who’s comfortable both sprinting through fast time controls and savoring the long strategic battles.

Strengths & Style

With a comeback rate of 76.1%, Jose Carlos demonstrates resilience worthy of a rocking chair on a wild ride. When losing a piece, he still manages to win nearly 44% of the time, proving that he’s not one to throw in the towel early, despite a respectable early resignation rate of just 3.39%.

Jose’s average game length is around 45 moves when winning, stretching to nearly 58 moves in losses — looks like when Jose loses, he makes you earn it! His endgame frequency at 50% means he’s got plenty of endurance to see battles through to their final crescendo.

Opening Moves & Mischief

He’s a tactical tactician, fond of the Nimzowitsch Defense Kennedy Linksspringer Variation, where he boasts a cool 61.48% win rate in blitz — a tricky line for opponents to crack. Not one to shy away from classics, he also plays the King’s Pawn Opening Kings Knight Variation and the Center Game with nearly 50%+ win rates. His games can be a mix of solid strategy and cheeky gambits, keeping opponents on their toes.

Recent Battles

Recently, Jose pulled off a cunning checkmate victory against trepiutrev with a stylish attack in the Scandinavian Defense, demonstrating his capability to finish games with flair and precision.

Of course, like every mortal, he’s tasted defeat too — time trouble proved his nemesis in a clash versus thechesserj. But with a tilt factor of just 11, Jose bounces back quickly, proving that even chess warriors have good days and… less good ones.

Psychological Warfare & Habits

Jose's best time of day to play? 6 AM — clearly a morning bird who starts the day with a checkmate served fresh with coffee. His wins tend to favor playing White (50.85% win rate), but Black pieces don’t scare him either.

Opponent Nemeses & Fan Club

Jose has a mixed bag against frequent opponents, having beaten jeesking and bfg-wilde multiple times while facing challenges against others. Chess, after all, is a dance — sometimes you lead, sometimes you follow.

In Conclusion

Jose Carlos is a passionate chess adventurer, blending resilience, tactical flair, and a pinch of mischief in every game. Whether winning by a swift checkmate or losing in a marathon battle, Jose’s love for chess shines brighter than any rating number.

Keep an eye on genialica, because in the unpredictable world of chess, he’s always ready with a new surprise up his sleeve!
