Jhonson Samosir (aka jhonsaut)
Jhonson Samosir, a formidable name on the chess battlefield, is the kind of player who makes pawns tremble and kings sweat. Known online as jhonsaut, he has been dazzling the chess world with strategic finesse and a sprinkle of humor since at least 2017. His journey from a Blitz rating just over 900 to peaking at a remarkable 2177 in 2024 tells a tale of relentless dedication and a touch of wizardry at the board.
Specializing in Blitz chess, Jhonson combines speed and strategy in a way that would make even the toughest opponents think twice before challenging him. Although not much is heard from his Bullet and Rapid exploits recently, his rapid rating peak early in his career hinted at the sharp instincts he would later refine.
