Profile: Joemaamaaa

Meet Joemaamaaa, a plucky rapid chess enthusiast who approaches the game with equal parts tenacity and a pinch of humor.

Playing Journey & Stats:

Starting off with a rollercoaster rapid rating journey — from a shaky low of 133 to a peak performance of 676 in October 2023 — Joemaamaaa has proven to be quite the resilient competitor. With nearly 900 rapid games under their belt, boasting a close-to-even win-loss record (393 wins, 395 losses, and 66 draws), this player’s tenacity is unmatched. Blitz, Daily, and Bullet formats are less traveled but no less fierce, though rapid is clearly their battlefield of choice.

Favorite Openings and Style:

Joemaamaaa plays aggressively and strategically, showing a special fondness for the Alekhine’s Defense with an impressive winning rate near 70%. The trusty King’s Pawn Opening also makes regular appearances, leading to nearly half wins in those duels. Despite a fondness for some quirky openings like the Van't Kruijs Opening (with room to grow at a 23.81% win rate), Joemaamaaa doesn’t shy away from battle, often throwing opponents off balance.

Memorable Moments:

The longest winning streak of 7 games demonstrates moments when Joemaamaaa’s genius truly shines. Conversely, an 8-game losing streak reminds us that even the best have their off days — but with a tilt factor of just 8%, they keep calm under pressure like a grandmaster-level zen master.

Playing Characteristics:

• Average moves per win: 51 — patience and careful planning pay off.
• Average moves per loss: 46 — fights until the bitter end.
• Tactical awareness shines through a 55% comeback rate — never count this player out!
• Known for a quick resignation rate (~14.5%) suggesting a pragmatic streak when the board spells trouble.

Peak Performances:

Joemaamaaa’s best rated games have come in rapid chess, peaking at 676 just last year. Their top Blitz rating is a modest 364, but hey, who’s counting when rapid is the prime sport? Daily clocks in at 400, and bullet peaks at 230 — solid efforts across various speeds.

Recent Matches Highlight:

One notable recent victory was fought with the Italian Game, where Joemaamaaa emerged victorious by resignation after deploying a clever Nd4 and Bf4 assault that ultimately broke the opponent’s defenses. The game showcased resilience and tactical sharpness, hallmark traits of this player’s style.

Psychological Insight:

The best time of day to challenge Joemaamaaa is around 2 AM — perhaps a nocturnal strategist, fueled by caffeine and sudden chess inspiration. Despite some ups and downs, this player keeps a balanced perspective on rated versus casual games, with only a ~6% difference in win rates.

Fan Fun Fact:

With usernames like xnaxns and larrychess5050 appearing as most frequent rivals, Joemaamaaa’s chess adventures are filled with familiar foes — some beaten often, others not so much. But just like a good series, every matchup writes a new chapter.

In summary, Joemaamaaa is the chess player who embodies persistence, a willingness to try all sorts of openings, and a hearty chuckle when things don’t go exactly according to plan. Here’s to many more thrilling battles ahead!
