Johan Roth (aka Johen3rd) - Chess Profile
Johan Roth, or as the online world knows him, Johen3rd, is a tenacious chess enthusiast with a rapid-fire passion for the game. Bursting onto the scene with a modest rating of 227 in Rapid chess, Johan quickly demonstrated the kind of grit that makes opponents nervously clutch their queen. By mid-2025, he soared spectacularly, peaking at an impressive 769 in Rapid and nabbing solid ratings across Bullet (413), Blitz (476), and Daily (480).
Playing Style & Personality
With an average game length of around 62 moves and a tendency to engage deeply in the endgame, Johan clearly prefers a battle of wits that tests patience and endurance. His games often last longer than his coffee breaks, and his early resignation rate is a humble 4.07%, proving he’s no quitter.
Notoriously hard to rattle, Johan boasts a comeback rate over 80%, meaning if he loses a piece, don’t count him out just yet—he fights back with nearly 50% success thereafter. Though his tilt factor stands at a manageable 7 (translation: humans get frustrated, and so does he), his best battlefield hour is the wee hours of 3 AM, when most mortals and their pieces alike are sound asleep.
Tactical & Opening Repertoire
Johan is a master of the Queens Gambit Accepted Central Variation, owning an 85%+ win rate there, and he isn’t shy about revealing his preferences for solid openings like the Caro Kann Defense and ventures into slightly cheekier lines such as the Englund Gambit with impressive success. He flexes his versatility switching between Rapid, Blitz, and Bullet formats — sometimes faster than you can say “Checkmate!”
Opening Favorites in Rapid:
- Queens Gambit Accepted Central Variation: 85% win rate
- Caro Kann Defense: 54.8% win rate
- Queens Pawn Opening Chigorin Variation: 57.9% win rate
- Englund Gambit: 57.1% win rate
Competitive Drive
Johan’s journey is packed with epic duels and relentless determination. With a longest winning streak of 9 games, he’s no stranger to momentum, though his current streak tells a tale of a recent hiccup with 4 losses. But hey, even champions have days when the pawns don’t behave.
His record against frequent foes is a rollercoaster: dominating some opponents with 100% win rates while others have him scratching his head. Fans appreciate his fierce battles especially against romsteackk (where he holds a dominating 67.9% win rate over 28 games) and s3emevoies (60.9% over 23 games). Tough rivalry or friendly banter? The chessboard decides.
