Joshe Carrasco (jojojo5568)
Meet Joshe Carrasco, an adventurous soul in the realm of chess, known online as jojojo5568. His preferred battlefield? The Rapid time control, where he’s proven to be a formidable opponent with a peak rating of 759 achieved in December 2021. If speed and sharp tactics are what you crave, Joshe’s games are an entertaining ride—sometimes he shines brilliantly, and sometimes, well, the pawns just didn’t feel like cooperating.
Playing Style & Strengths
Joshe plays like a charming underdog who loves to turn tables with a 56.43% comeback rate—he’s the kind of player who refuses to fold when down a piece. He has a slightly higher win rate playing Black (49.81%) than White (42.15%), suggesting he’s quite comfortable counterpunching rather than always leading the charge.
But beware: Joshe's tilt factor is around 11, so if you get under his skin, he might resign early (at a modest rate of 8.68%). On the brighter side, his average of over 54 moves to victory reveals he’s not just about quick wins—he enjoys the long strategic grind.
Opening Repertoire
Joshe favors classical, well-tested openings with a twist. The King's Pawn Opening and its King's Knight Variation top his charts, boasting win rates just north of 50%, and his little secret weapon is the Van 't Kruijs Opening, where he waves a 70% success rate! He’s not shy to mix in defenses like the Petrov's Defense Classical Variation and the Scandinavian Defense, showing a taste for solid, somewhat offbeat but effective choices.
Fun Facts & Quirks
- Joshe's best time to catch a win streak? Mornings at 9 AM, clocking a 65.22% win rate around then. Early birds do get the chess worm!
- His longest winning streak stretches to 6 games, but beware his 11 game losing streak — every hero has their dark days.
- He loves delivering checkmates but also resigns when the going gets tough—your move, psychological warfare.
