Jeungjo - The Chess Maverick
Meet Jeungjo, a rapid-fire tactician and strategic thinker with a style as unpredictable as an espresso shot at midnight. As of 2025, Jeungjo’s peak Rapid rating soared to an impressive 389, while their Blitz peak reached a dazzling 451 — not bad for someone who sometimes resigns early about 24% of the time. Talk about keeping opponents on their toes!
Career Highlights & Playing Style
Jeungjo tends to shine brightest in the Rapid category, boasting a commendable win record of 128 wins to 104 losses, and a knack for closing out games by resignation (85 wins by resignation!). Not one to shy from risk, their average moves per win is around 49 moves, proving patience is indeed a virtue. However, they’re no stranger to setbacks, having endured a longest losing streak of 9 games — but bounced back with an impressive current winning streak of 11.
When it comes to openings, Jeungjo’s favorite tricks include the King’s Pawn Opening with a solid 50% win rate in rapid play, and the Alekhine’s Defense, where their game seems particularly sharp with a 60% success rate. The Scandinavian Defense, however, appears to be their nemesis, with a mere 12.5% win rate in Rapid and zero wins in Blitz and Bullet formats — maybe a future training project!
The Psychological Battlefield
Chess for Jeungjo is a mental marathon. Their tilt factor is just 9, implying a poker face that rarely cracks under pressure. The sweet spot in their daily rhythm is around 6 PM, where wins skyrocket to nearly 85%! Late-night blitz? Not so much, with win rates dipping below 25% in some hours. Timing, it seems, is everything.
Win-Loss Drama
Jeungjo dominates certain opponents with a perfect 100% win record against players like pastis2marseille and nzuzondlovu. Yet, some challengers, including jackliverman and bonnie2108, remain unsweetened foes, causing losses that are memorable (sometimes by resignation and sometimes on time). But hey, every king has their nemesis!
Recent Triumph
On June 3rd, 2025, Jeungjo dazzled fans with a brilliant checkmate against pastis2marseille in a Petrovs Defense Classical Variation, showcasing not only skill but an unbeatable flair for dramatic finishes. The game concluded with a well-timed Rook checkmate after 37 moves — truly a masterclass in turning pressure into victory.
Fun Facts
- Jeungjo’s average moves per victory hover around 49 moves, but losses tend to be quicker, averaging 37 moves — maybe a sign of short but sharp battles!
- They aren’t afraid to call it quits early: a 23.6% early resignation rate means they know when to save energy for the next fight.

In a nutshell, Jeungjo is a chess player who blends tactical audacity with strategic patience, lights up the board during prime time hours, and never shies away from a thrilling comeback — watch out, chess world, Jeungjo’s next move might just be a killer!
