Jaquemilio approaches chess with a unique blend of tactical awareness and stubborn resilience. With an impressive comeback rate of 65.73%, it’s clear that when the chips are down, they find new tricks up their sleeve. Known for long duels—averaging around 56 moves per win—they enjoy sifting through the deep end of endgames (played in more than 58% of their games).

Strengths and Quirks

When playing daily or rapid games, Jaquemilio is often at their best early in the morning around 2 AM (their best time of day to play), rocking a win rate of nearly 58% in those wee hours.

They also tend to resign early just under 3% of the time, meaning they rarely give up without a fight.
