Jaouad Elouajtani (jawadeloua) - The Chess Maverick

Jaouad Elouajtani, better known by his chess handle jawadeloua, is a rapid chess aficionado who plays with a blend of bravado and occasional mischief. While his peak rapid rating soared to an impressive 348 in May 2024, Jaouad’s journey is anything but linear. Think of it as a rollercoaster with some sharp dips, unexpected climbs, and the occasional loop-de-loop.

Career Highlights & Style

With over 291 rapid games played, Jaouad maintains a nearly balanced battle record: 124 wins against 131 losses and 36 draws. He's got a knack for the Queen's Pawn Opening, where he boasts his highest win rate of approximately 56%. However, don’t let his love for ambitious openings fool you—the King’s Pawn Opening Leonardis Variation seems to give him a bit of a headache, with only about 32% wins.

Jaouad’s games often extend deep into the endgame, reflecting his resilience and stamina, averaging almost 47 moves to a win and over 62 moves to a loss. He’s not one to resign early, but does have a respectable almost 10% early resignation rate, proving he knows when to pick his battles.

Playing Patterns

His tactical awareness is both an adventure and sometimes a gamble. Jaouad shines with a 52% comeback rate when trailing, fighting back like a lion. However, dropping pieces early can dent his confidence, as wins after losing a piece sit at just above 30%.

He tends to play best in the morning hours - especially around 8 AM (his "best time of day to play") - and oddly struggles during the witching hours of 2 AM. His favorite time to score? Tuesday afternoons and early evenings, where he racks up an impressive near 63% win rate.

Favorite Openings & Quirks

• Queen’s Pawn Opening: A fan favorite, where Jaouad executes strategic play with a solid 56% win rate.
• Scandinavian Defense: His sneaky weapon with a 67% win rate in a handful of games.
• Englund Gambit: A bit unorthodox but Jaouad’s performance here is surprisingly stout at 44% wins.
• Chess-comedy moment: Jaouad's most recent win was a stunning checkmate against "AdamMadrid14", showcasing his flair for dramatic finishes.

Against Opponents

Jaouad’s battle record against some rivals is nothing short of legendary: a 100% win rate against players like s_hakobyan and adammadrid14, demonstrating that when he’s locked in, he locks down. Conversely, he’s also faced tough times against others, showing us that even chess warriors have their nemeses.

Personality on the Board

Despite some tough losing streaks (his longest losing streak is 7), Jaouad’s tilt factor remains low at 7%, a testament to his cool temperament under pressure. He might tilt only as much as the average chess player stamping their feet after a blunder... or maybe slightly less. His resilience keeps fans intrigued and opponents wary!

Fun Fact:

While his early games can be a bit chaotic, with tricky queen maneuvers and bold gambits, Jaouad’s recovery skills and tactical awareness ensure he's always an entertaining player to watch — you never know if he’ll blunder spectacularly or deliver a cunning checkmate.
