Playing Style & Personality

Van Jugen is a fighter who doesn’t give up easily: a comeback rate of nearly 73% tells you that when the chips are down, this player bounces back to make the opponent sweat. Notorious for an average of over 45 moves per victory, they love a good long fight and have a patience that would make any monk proud.

Known for a low early resignation rate (only about 4.3%), Van prefers to grind down opponents rather than throwing in the towel – unless toast is involved, then all bets are off.

Psychological quirks? A tilt factor of 9 means some rage quits and facepalms have been seen, typically when the Wi-Fi decides to quit mid-game. Best time to challenge Georgeosss? Try the early morning hours around 7 AM when their win rate peaks – though you might better bring coffee.

Opening Preferences: The Swiss Army Knife Chess Player

Van isn’t stuck in one groove - they wield a diverse arsenal of openings. Notably, the Indian Game yields a smashing 71% win rate in rapid games, showing tactical comfort there. The cheeky Van t Kruijs Opening is a secret weapon, boasting a 75% success rate in rapid - great for those surprise blitz battles.

On the flip side, the Alekhine’s Defense is a known nemesis, with zero wins – proving that even Van Jugen faces their nemeses.

Memorable Recent Game
