Profile Summary: joelfisch

Meet joelfisch, a chess warrior navigating the battlefield of 64 squares with a flair for the unexpected and a knack for testing openings that make grandmasters raise an eyebrow. This player has a blitz peak rating of 313, and while the bullet rating might make some gasp with a peak at 1021 (which might be a glitch or rapid-fire madness!), it's his blitz and rapid games that tell the compelling tale of a fierce competitor who loves the speed and complexity of fast chess.

Playing Style & Strengths

Known for engaging often in the Van t Kruijs Opening—a choice befitting those who like to surprise their foes early on—joelfisch holds a near 50% win rate here, proving he’s no stranger to sharp tactical skirmishes. The trusty French Defense is another favorite, boasting a win rate over 57% in blitz, showing a flair for solid, resilient positions combined with tactical strikes.

His style features an interesting balance: while the average game length to victory clocks in around 41 moves, losses tend to linger just a bit longer—maybe he fights to the bitter end or simply enjoys drawing out the suspense! Joelfisch doesn’t shy away from the endgame either, with over 37% of games reaching that phase, revealing an appreciation for technical finesse.

The Psychological Battlefield

Every chess player faces ups and downs, and joelfisch is no exception with a tilt factor of 11. But this player knows best when to strike: evenings around 7 PM are his sweet spot for maximum brainpower and strategic clarity, boasting a nearly 51% win record at that hour. Paradoxically, his win rates dip a little on Thursday and Friday, possibly when weekend plans cause distraction—or maybe the coffee's just not strong enough.

Fun Facts & Rivalries

With over 1,990 games played across blitz, bullet, and rapid combined, joelfisch is a seasoned gladiator of the online chess scene—with a mixed record of 712 wins to 790 losses and a dabble of draws.
