Profile: Jhfler

Meet Jhfler, a relentless rapid chess enthusiast whose rating rollercoaster would make any amusement park jealous. Starting around 421 in early 2023, Jhfler skyrocketed to a peak rapid rating of 820 by the end of that year. Though the journey wasn't all smooth sailing — with losses nearly matching wins (1053 wins to 1048 losses) and a respectable 149 draws — this player's resilience is evident. Their comeback rate? A hearty 57.7%, proving that losing a piece doesn’t mean the game’s over, it just means the plot thickens.

Jhfler enjoys a tactical battlefield, favoring solid openings like the King's Pawn and Bishop's Opening in rapid games, boasting near 50% win rates in these classic lines. The player’s endgame frequency is impressive at 54.7%, showing patience and endurance in longer battles. However, the tilt factor of 16% suggests some emotional investment, especially when the clock ticks past midnight — but hey, that’s the passion of a true competitor!

Whether playing as White or Black, Jhfler performs favourably, with a slightly better win rate when holding the white pieces (49.55%) than black (44.02%). The average match lasts roughly 57 moves for wins—plenty of drama, strategy, and probably a dash of coffee-fueled determination.
