Player Profile: jamesiiiipp

Meet jamesiiiipp, a fearless explorer of the chessboard with a rating rollercoaster that would make even the most daring thrill-seeker jealous. Kicking off in 2023 with a modest Rapid rating of 618, jamesiiiipp dove headfirst into the game despite a rocky start—losing the very first recorded rapid match! But hey, every grandmaster begins somewhere, right?

Fast forward to early 2025, and jamesiiiipp has steadily climbed back up the ladder, reaching an impressive peak rapid rating of 737 in December 2024. That’s right, from humble beginnings to outfoxing opponents across hundreds of rapid games with a solid win/loss record teetering just above 50%! It turns out resilience is the true queen of the board here.

When not battling it out in Rapid, jamesiiiipp dabbles in Blitz and Bullet, where speed and instinct take the front seat. While their ratings here hover under 320 points, these fast and furious formats are more like warm-up rounds—practice for the strategic deep dives where their rapid rating reigns supreme. After all, the opening moves often involve the mysterious Scandinavian Defense and good old King’s Pawn Opening, showing a fondness for both classic and offbeat lines.

Speaking of style, jamesiiiipp is the kind of player who favors long, grind-it-out battles—averaging about 53 moves per win and nearly 61 moves per loss. That’s a ton of thinking, plotting, and probably some nail-biting suspense. The games are rarely short, and the middlegame-endgame dance is clearly their favorite show, appearing in over half of their matches!

Quick to admit when the going gets tough, jamesiiiipp has a respectable early resignation rate of just over 5%, sparking the suspicion they might know when to fold ’em (or just need a break). Their comeback rate is a solid 54%, meaning they’re never out until the chess clock says so—but losing a piece does put a damper on their chances, dropping their win rate to about 37% after such setbacks.

Noteworthy Achievements & Highlights

• Longest Winning Streak: 10 games — proving persistence pays off!

• Favorite Openings: Kings Pawn Opening, Scandinavian Defense (including Mieses Kotrc and Closed variations), with some sneaky Englund Gambit thrown in for flavor.
• Preferred Time to Play: 10 PM sharp, when the brain is firing on all cylinders (or at least that’s what the win rates suggest).

Fun fact: jamesiiiipp isn’t just about crushing opponents; they also seem to have a love-hate relationship with timeouts—winning 142 games on time but losing 442 this way. Perhaps a future grandmaster-in-training with an ongoing battle against the clock!
