Profile of johnywoo3: The Underdog Wizard of the Board
Meet johnywoo3, a spirited chess adventurer currently paving their path in the year 2025. With peek blitz ratings reaching a modest but respectable 324, and a rapid peak soaring to 572, johnywoo3 exemplifies the never-say-die attitude of an enthusiastic player who knows that every piece counts — even if sometimes that piece is lost!
Chess Journey & Stats
johnywoo3 has a rather interesting win/loss record, especially in blitz where they've dived headfirst into 113 games in May alone, balancing 55 wins against 54 losses. Talk about keeping it suspenseful! Rapid games show a similar story of perseverance, with hundreds of battles fought (~671 games total), winning nearly half.
Favorite Openings — And Those Not So Favorite
Armed with a tactical arsenal, johnywoo3 favors solid defenses mixed with dynamic counterattacks. Their best blitz success rates come from the Ponziani Opening where they've won almost 78% of games. Stunningly, the Scandinavian Defense boasts a perfect 100% blitz win rate over 4 games — a small sample but impressive nevertheless!
However, not every defense is sunshine and checkmates. The Caro Kann Defense has been a bit of a rollercoaster with only a 31.58% win rate in blitz. Like any true chess player, johnywoo3 embraces these struggles as learning opportunities (and probably a few funny memes).
Playing Style & Peculiarities
- Wins by resignation: 213 (because sometimes your opponent just can't handle the pressure)
- Longest winning streak: 9 (a glorious run worthy of a mini champion)
- Comeback rate: an impressive 79.55%, proving johnywoo3 believes in the power of "it's not over until the king falls."
- Average moves per win: about 56 moves, showing a patient and strategic approach — or just a tendency to drag out the drama!
- Early resignations: kept low at 5.64%, so johnywoo3 doesn’t throw in the towel without a fight.
Best Playing Hours
If you want to catch johnywoo3 at their peak, set your clocks around 9 AM — their psychologically favored time to play. Surprisingly, they shine brightest in the chilly morning hours, and have a peculiar 100% win rate at 9 AM, and generally perform well mid-afternoon and evening too!
