Profile Summary: sabat744 (aka jabigos)

Meet jabigos, a rapid chess adventurer navigating the 300-700 rating galaxy with a flair for dramatic checkmates and a stubborn refusal to surrender early — well, most of the time. With a peak rapid rating of 693 achieved in March 2025, jabigos may not be storming the Grandmaster halls yet, but they sure know how to keep opponents on edge!

Playing around 400 rapid games in 2025 alone, jabigos has a fairly balanced record of 167 wins, 180 losses, and 23 draws. Tombstoning into losses comes with the territory, especially when your longest losing streak hits 8 games — but don’t be fooled! Jabigos bounces back like a champ, boasting a comeback rate near 69%. Put simply: even if the knight gets taken, the game ain’t over.

Opening the Gates...

Jabigos enjoys a range of openings but seems to have a love-hate relationship with the Bishop’s Opening and its Berlin Defense variant. Winning nearly 56% of games with the Berlin Defense is impressive, much better than the Scandinavian Defense Mieses Kotrc Variation where winning is more like hoping (23%). When it comes to the King’s Pawn Opening (classic e4), jabigos walks the tightrope with about a 49% success rate — competent and balanced, if not spectacular.

Style & Strategy

Jabigos’s style can be described as a patient rollercoaster — games tend to last around 40 moves, with wins averaging slightly fewer moves than losses, a hint that their best chances come from outlasting, outthinking, and sometimes outlasting again. With an early resignation rate of 13.33%, jabigos loves to fight on rather than quit early. Interestingly, they perform best late in the evening — a 21:00 playing time is when the wits are sharpest, so don’t invite jabigos to a sunset duel unless you’re ready!

Moments of Glory

The most recent triumphant game saw jabigos dishing out a slick checkmate after just 24 moves using the Scandinavian Defense. Flashy queen moves and knight maneuvers culminated in a checkmate on the back rank — talk about finishing with style! Opponents beware: jabigos’s tactical awareness shines best when down material, clawing back victories with a respectable 39.5% win rate even after losing a piece.

The Opponent Report

Jabigos holds some peculiar records against friends and foes alike: unluckily, the “whychooseme” squad gets zero wins, but the “humangos7” camp is a clean 100%. Also notable — jabigos can score flawless wins against many opponents, truly a master of some secret sauce no one else tastes.

Off the Board

While jabigos might not yet feature in chess hall-of-fame conversations, their persistent spirit and tactical comebacks make them a fascinating player to follow — part warrior, part strategist, all heart. Whether it’s grinding through opponent after opponent or delighting in the drama of a sudden checkmate, this player embodies the joy of chess: passion over perfection.

So next time you face jabigos, remember: it’s not just a game — it’s an epic saga unfolding one move at a time.
