A Bit of Quirk
Despite a tilt factor of 15 (which means j_mp1 sometimes takes losses personally), the player’s best time of day to strike fear into opponents is 19:00 — prime time for plotting world chess domination, or at least a cheeky victory over shadow24445 and other rivals. Their current moves per win hover around 58, proving that quick checkmates? Not really their style.
