JohnDoesIt: The Chess Player Who Does It All (And Then Some)
JohnDoesIt is a chess enthusiast whose journey through the 64 squares reads like a rollercoaster built by a mad genius with a penchant for drama. Known for his rapid-fire moves and unexpected tactical twists, John’s games are less about steady climbs and more about wild swings: he loves climbing to peaks of brilliance like his Rapid peak rating of 1088 but isn’t shy to tumble down to lows that keep spectators on their toes.
Early Years & Rise
Starting with a Blitz rating around the 700 mark back in 2020, JohnDoesIt showed an eagerness to take on more games rather than just hang around comfortably. Despite a tough start with a few losses, he returned in 2025 with undeniable persistence, playing hundreds of matches in Blitz, Bullet, and Rapid time controls—racking up over 600 wins in Blitz alone. The man doesn’t do half measures.
Playing Style
John’s style can be summed up as “strategic chaos.” He’s known for a high Comeback Rate of nearly 73%, meaning even when his position looks grim, John pulls rabbit moves out of his chess hat to snatch victory from the jaws of defeat. His games tend to have an average of 60 moves per win—no quickies here! His Tilt Factor sits at 12, suggesting the occasional bout of frustration, but hey, who doesn't when the queen keeps getting captured?
Favorite Openings & Signature Moves
JohnDoesIt enjoys a smorgasbord of openings, but has quite the love-hate relationship with the Modern Defense and the Queens Gambit Declined - Marshall Defense, the latter boasting a stellar 68% win rate in Blitz. He’s also fond of the Englund Gambit, convincing many opponents that he means business with an aggressive 59.55% Blitz win rate.
Notable Stats & Quirks
- Longest Winning Streak: 10 games (because sometimes, John really does just do it!)
- Longest Losing Streak: 12 games (proof that losing builds character... or at least humor)
- Preferred Time Control: Rapid, where he has dazzled with a peak rating of 1088.
- Win Rate vs Weaker Opponents: A confident 80.09%, no mercy given!
- Blitz Resignations: Responsible for 463 wins and 581 losses by resignation — sometimes the quickest way out is just admitting defeat and gearing up for the next game.
Recent Games: The Sweet Taste of Victory
One of John's most recent victories was a time win against pppppppppo90, where he dazzled his opponent in a stunning battle of the Queens Pawn Opening - Mikenas Defense. The game featured precise positional play and ended as a clean time victory — no checkmate needed when you’re ahead on the clock!

A Social Player
JohnDoesIt has faced a staggering variety of opponents, from the fiercely competitive pandofish (20 games) to local legends like pawanjotsinghbedi. His highest win rates often come when he plays with the bossy confidence of a grandmaster... or at least someone who’s had a few too many cups of coffee.
In Conclusion
If you’re looking for a player who embodies persistence, tactical cunning, and the spirit of “let’s give it our best shot,” JohnDoesIt is your guy. Whether winning in flashy style or learning from brutal defeats (cue the longest losing streak), he’s a true entertainer of the chessboard—a player who truly, unapologetically, does it.
