Michał Walentukiewicz (aka Jadeit90)

Meet Michał Walentukiewicz, a determined Candidate Master by FIDE standards and a formidable presence on the chessboard, especially when playing under the playful username Jadeit90. Michał’s journey through the ranks has been nothing short of a rollercoaster with peak bullet rating soaring to an impressive 2733 in December 2022 and blitz rating peaking at a cool 2613 in late 2021. If chess ratings were a rollercoaster, Michał sure knows how to keep the adrenaline pumping!

Specializing in lightning-fast bullet games, Jadeit90 has played tens of thousands of games, with an admirable win count over 3,000 and an impressive long winning streak of 30 games—talk about momentum! Yet, like any epic chess saga, there are also some rugged patches, including the longest losing streak of 17. But fear not, resilience is part of the game—Michał's comeback rate is a staggering 87.7%, proving that even when pieces are lost, the fight is far from over.

Michał’s style? Well, this player clearly enjoys the endgame, with a penchant for grinding it out until just the last few moves—average wins clock in at about 83 moves, and even losses often drag on for nearly 69 moves. Early resignation? Not in this player's dictionary, boasting a modest early resignation rate of just under 2%. If patience is a virtue in chess, Michał is positively saintly.

Opening choices show a modern twist with a preference for the Modern Defense, King's Fianchetto Opening, and various English Opening variations—a versatile repertoire intended to keep opponents guessing. Oh, and did we mention? Michał seems to have a soft spot for the Agincourt Defense in the English Opening, yielding a remarkable winning rate near 57% in bullet games—like a secret weapon hidden up the sleeve.

Off the board, Michał’s psychological resilience is notable, with a tilt factor of only 17—which, in chess-player terms, means frustration is usually kept in check, although every saint has their limits. And when asked about the best time to challenge this Polish powerhouse, you’ll find early birds beware! Michał’s best time of day to play is at 8:00 AM sharp—so perhaps set that alarm and catch them before the first coffee kicks in!

Remember, behind the ratings and database stats is a player who dives deep into chess battles, toys with strategy, and never surrenders before the final move. Whether speed chess or a marathon endgame, Michał Walentukiewicz aka Jadeit90 brings passion, skill, and a touch of humor to the game. Up next, perhaps you?
