Profile Summary: joeyt0542

Meet joeyt0542, a relentless Rapid enthusiast whose journey in chess is as dynamic as his fluctuating ratings. With a peak Rapid rating of 471 achieved in May 2025, Joey dances on the 64 squares with a mix of stubborn defense and tactical bursts, often opting for the Queens Pawn Opening variations — especially the Zukertort Chigorin Variety, where an impressive 89% win rate makes opponents think twice before challenging him there.

While his Bullet and Blitz stats might raise some eyebrows — with peak Blitz rating soaring to a fiery 686 in early 2023, then taking a mysterious dip afterward — Joey refuses to back down. His Blitz games tally over 200 battles fought, showing that the adrenaline rush of faster formats fuels his love for the game, even if his win/loss ratio hovers around the edge of chaos (93 wins and 107 losses).

Joey's play style reveals a player who’s not afraid to resign early when the tides turn, clocking an early resignation rate of 18%, but compensates with a stubborn endgame presence (41.5% endgame frequency). His games usually last an average of 54 moves when victorious — a true sign of a patient fighter — but when things go south, the average shortens to around 40 moves. In other words: Joey prefers to keep his battles reasonably long, but knows when to call it quits before turning into Swiss cheese.

What's delightful about Joey is his uncanny ability for comebacks, boasting a comeback rate nearing 63%! When losing material, he still wins more than a third of the time, proving he's the kind of player who thrives on second chances. Just don’t ask him to perform perfectly under tilt — his tilt factor is a mild 7, meaning sometimes emotions do nudge his knight off course.

His psychological peak? Without a doubt, 8 PM — that's when Jamie (or Joey?) is sharpest, boasting a 69% win rate around that hour. So if you ever see a game queued up with joeyt0542 at night, prepare for a serious challenge.
