Profile Summary: jcletus

Meet jcletus, a determined Rapid chess enthusiast navigating the intricacies of the 64 squares with a rating rollercoaster that’s as thrilling as a suspense novel. Peaking at a spicy 360 in January 2025, jcletus battles fiercely in every game, showing a classic underdog spirit with almost equal wins and losses — 155 victories to 156 defeats — and a modest collection of draws (6 to be exact).

Known for a mixed bag of openings, jcletus has a particular fondness for the Scandinavian Defense, boasting a respectable 56.52% win rate there, and the surprisingly sassy Englund Gambit with a cheeky 61.54% success rate. On the flip side, the Queens Pawn Opening Chigorin Variation tends to ruffle some feathers, with jcletus owning a 34.38% win rate — a reminder that even the best have their quirky weaknesses.

Gameplay style: unpredictable as a squirrel on espresso. With an early resignation rate of 17.31%, jcletus isn’t shy about waving the white flag when the going gets tough — but don’t be fooled! The comeback rate after losing a piece clocks in at an impressive 63.23%. Lost a rook? No problem. It’s all about the bounce-back, baby.

When playing as Black, jcletus seems to whisper to the pieces, coaxing a 55.06% win rate — outshining the slightly humbler 42.77% win rate when controlling White. Maybe it's the mischievous grin or the black coat that intimidates the opponents!

Speaking of opponents, jcletus has a love-hate relationship with them. Crushing some rivals like mateo01bleble, crawkid3166, and azetrrr with a flawless 100% win rate, while others like kcia2023 and mikumercy seem to have cracked jcletus’ secret code (resulting in zero wins against them). The current losing streak? A humble 1, but the longest losing streak was a memorable 8, a saga of trial and error.

Matches happen mostly at human-friendly times, with the best win rate hour being a surprisingly sharp 66.67% at 9 AM — so mornings are prime time for jcletus’ tactical fireworks. However, evening games at 23:00 bring just a 16.67% success rate. Bedtime blues, perhaps?

A winner once said: “Chess is life in miniature.” For jcletus, it’s also the stage for epic gambits, quick resignations, and stubborn comebacks. A typical winning game lasts about 41 moves, while losses tend to wrap up sooner — around 30 moves — showing that when jcletus falls, it’s often swift but never silent.

To paint the final picture: jcletus is a chess adventurer – equal parts fighter, strategist, and entertainer. So next time you face off against jcletus, expect the unexpected, enjoy the ride, and maybe prepare for some spicy Scandinavian Defense action. Or possibly an Englund Gambit surprise – just watch your back!
