Profile Summary: Jinx1996
Meet Jinx1996, a cunning International Master recognized by FIDE, who proves that chess is not just a game but a battlefield where kings and pawns alike quake before their strategic prowess.
Since 2022, Jinx1996 has dashed through thousands of Blitz games, climbing from a respectable 1830 rating to an eye-popping peak of 2855 in early 2025. Their bullet games aren’t just fast — they’re fearsome, with a top Bullet rating soaring past 2685, and their Rapid play holds a solid 2340 peak rating, showing versatility across all time controls.
A master tactician, Jinx1996's comeback rate is an impressive 84.78%, meaning when the chips are down, this player doubles down on the pressure and makes miracles happen. Their games tend to be rich and lengthy, averaging over 76 moves on wins, proving stubborn stamina and a long-term plan that exhausts opponents into blunders.
With a slight preference for playing white (winning nearly 58% of the time), they still hold their ground impressively with black pieces, winning more than half of those encounters too. Their favorite openings? Top secret, naturally—some secrets even they might not want to reveal!
Behavioral quirks? A mere 0.47% early resignation rate shows resilience, but a tilt factor of 12 means even this IM might occasionally grumble quietly at a surprise move or two. But don’t be fooled — their psychological game is strong, especially around 5 AM, their personally crowned hour of glory.
