Meet joafan, a chess enthusiast whose rating journey reads like a thrilling rollercoaster ride through the blitz, bullet, and rapid arenas of the chess battleground. Starting 2025 with some cautious moves, joafan quickly amped up the pace, skyrocketing to a blitz peak rating of 786 by June and rocking a rapid rating high of 825 earlier in the year. Bullet chess hasn’t been a walk in the park, but with a max rating of 638, joafan proves they’re no stranger to rapid-fire tactical skirmishes.
While the stats say 954 wins in blitz and a respectable 315 wins in bullet, joafan’s style isn’t just about numbers. With an early resignation rate of just under 3%, this player rarely throws in the towel – unless the coffee’s gone cold. Famous for an impressive comeback rate of 59%, joafan specializes in turning seemingly lost positions upside down, much like a magician pulling a rabbit from a hat, or in this case, a queen from nowhere.
Their preferred openings are as intriguing as their game flair: nimble and tricky. The Nimzowitsch Larsen Attack in its many variations leads the charge, winning over 57% of blitz battles with it. The Owens Defense and the Reti Opening Queenside Fianchetto also make frequent appearances in the repertoire, setting the stage for games that dance delicately between strategy and surprise.
Fun fact: joafan’s best hours to flex those tactical muscles are afternoons around 14:00, where their winning rate peaks to almost 63%. Beware foes who challenge them at this hour – you might just be signing up for a tactical showdown sprinkled with a dose of psychological warfare, given a tilting factor of 7 (yes, even knights can have mood swings).
And speaking of drama, joafan's longest streak of victory stands at a solid 12 games – a feat many envy, and a losing streak capped at 7 showing resilience (more like a phoenix rising rather than a blundering pawn). Despite a few bumps along the way, this player knows how to wrest victory from the jaws of defeat and keep the audience guessing.
Their most recent triumph? A dazzling checkmate delivered in under 30 moves, unleashing the Nimzowitsch Larsen Attack - Classical Variation to perfection. Opponents beware – whether it’s bullet, blitz, or rapid, joafan’s the cunning tactician ready to make every move count.
Simply put, joafan is chess played with flair, grit, and just the right amount of cheeky swagger.
