Jashan (Username: jatthoul) - The Cautious Conqueror of the Chessboard

Meet Jashan, a chess enthusiast whose journey through the 64 squares is a curious blend of fierce determination and occasional humble retreats. With a peak rapid rating of 694 as of December 2024, Jashan has battled through nearly 300 rapid games in early 2025 alone, proving that persistence is indeed a player’s best weapon—even if victory doesn’t always come easy.

Jashan’s style could be described as thoughtfully cautious; while the average moves per win hover around 59, losses tend to come faster, averaging 46 moves. Early resignation is seen in about 16% of games, suggesting a healthy dose of realism—or perhaps an uncanny ability to sense when the chess gods have turned their backs.

Not one to stick to just one opening repertoire, Jashan dabbles in everything from the King’s Pawn Opening (win rate around 34%) to the intriguingly effective Queen’s Pawn Mikenas Defense boasting an impressive 75% win rate. The Scandinavian Defense Closed also seems to be a personal favorite, with a respectable 57% winning rhythm.

Despite a modest bullet rating of 100 and blitz of 124, Jashan’s rapid numbers reveal the true battlefield where tactics and patience collide. The comeback rate—nearly 70%—is testament to a never-say-die attitude, and the psychological tilt factor is impressively low at 10%, suggesting that even losing streaks aren’t enough to rattle this player’s calm.

Jashan shines brightest in the evenings, especially at 7 PM when win rates peak at almost 69%. Perhaps it’s the chessboard’s equivalent of "prime time." Mondays are their lucky day, with over 57% wins, while Saturdays might be best reserved for Netflix binges, given a sober 20% win rate.

When it comes to opponents, Jashan boasts a mixed bag of friendships and rivalries. Some foes get a 100% win record against them—names like urjakale and antonklanfar clearly dread the next encounter—while others provide more of a challenge (looking at you, ibeatbryan0000, with a solid 60% win rate in their battles).

The most recent victories showcase a knack for perseverance and fine endgame technique—whether it’s delivering a checkmate or winning by resignation, Jashan seems to know how to seal the deal. And even in defeat, the games tell tales of close calls and strategic battles rather than quick dismissals.

In summary, Jashan is the embodiment of a passionate player who’s still climbing the chess ladder, armed with strategic patience, a solid opening arsenal, and a sincere love for the cerebral sport. Whether it’s a comeback from a lost piece or plodding through a marathon game, this player proves it’s not just about winning—it’s about how entertainingly you play the game.

“Chess is 99% tactics.” — Jashan’s unofficial motto, probably.
