Playing Style & Tendencies

The average moves per win (around 55) compared to moves per loss (around 47) hints that Joan likes to grind down opponents in a marathon rather than rushing to a quick knockout.

Tactical Resilience

Opening Repertoire

Jiiiiq isn’t one to stick rigidly to theory. The Scotch Game is a favorite with a 50% win rate across over 150 games — balancing excitement and solid outcomes. The King’s Pawn Opening (Knights Variation) also gets plenty of love, with an impressive 56% win rate. And when feeling adventurous, the Van ’t Kruijs Opening yields a spicy 67% win rate — because sometimes chess should surprise even the player.

Psychological & Timing Quirks

Joan plays best around noon, which explains the peak win percentage at 12 PM — checkmates come easier with coffee in hand! A slight tilt factor of 9 suggests some frustration now and then, a human touch in a game of calculated logic.

Not every battle is won though — a recent tough loss came against emilsoininen in a Queen's Gambit Declined Exchange Variation. But hey, chess without losses would be no fun, right?
