JeanQuing: The Unconventional Chess Journey

Meet JeanQuing, a chess player whose rating graph looks more like a rollercoaster ride through rapid, blitz, and daily formats – except the rollercoaster likes to surprise you better than any theme park ever could. With a peak rapid rating of 485 in May 2025, JeanQuing has battled across 59 rapid games, emerging victorious 31 times, narrowly escaping defeat 27 times, and slyly drawing once. Their blitz and daily ratings might look humble by grandmaster standards (219 and 400, respectively), but every player starts somewhere — plus, a single blitz bout ended in a loss, proving even the best have off days.

When it comes to openings, JeanQuing is a versatile tactician. The "Four Knights Game Scotch Variation" and "Petrovs Defense Three Knights Game" are safe bets with a flawless 100% win rate in rapid. But beware the "Van't Kruijs Opening" and “Vienna Game Max Lange Defense” — JeanQuing hasn’t found the charm there yet, with zero wins across multiple attempts. A true chess adventurer, they mix aggressive King's Pawn moves, sneaky Queen’s Pawn variations, and even niche lines like Mikenas Defense.

Streaks? JeanQuing's longest winning streak is a respectable 6 games, but they also experienced a matching losing streak of 6 games. The good news? They bounce back — boasting an impressive 81.25% comeback rate after losing a piece. Like a phoenix rising from the ashes, JeanQuing throws one of the sharpest "tilt factors" around, scoring a modest 6 on the psychological meltdown meter, indicating there's still some emotional chess drama in play.

Fun fact: JeanQuing’s best time to play is 5 PM, where tactical awareness peaks and the wins flow like a well-executed Sicilian Defense. Their win rate shines brightest on Tuesdays and Thursdays (72.73% and 100%, respectively) — obviously, these are the days to challenge them if you dare.

White pieces or black, JeanQuing prefers the battle. They've got a White win rate of 58.62%, but don’t underestimate their dark-side prowess with 46.88% wins playing Black. Their average win comes after about 41 moves — long, thoughtful games with grand plans in mind — while losses tend to drag on to around 62 moves, maybe waiting for a chance that never quite comes.

JeanQuing’s recent masterpiece was a checkmate victory against thomas-4-ever in a King's Pawn Opening. The final move? A swift Ra1#, sealing the game and sending spectators home thrilled. Even in losses, JeanQuing battles fiercely — sometimes resigning only after a heroic fight, or occasionally forfeiting on time, reminding everyone: even the best forget to hit the clock.

Beyond the numbers, JeanQuing is the kind of player who embodies the spirit of chess: learning, adapting, sometimes stumbling, but always aiming for that perfect combination. With a collection of unique and sometimes unorthodox opening choices, and a willingness to engage in complex battles, JeanQuing reminds us that in chess, as in life, it's not about the rating but the journey — and having fun while doing it.
