Jojo Poivre: The Relentless Chess Adventurer

Meet Jojo Poivre, a chess player whose journey is as dramatic as one of their games. With a peak Rapid rating of 625 in April 2025, Jojo has demonstrated a flair for swift and strategic play. Although the Blitz and Bullet ratings hover around more humble numbers (531 and 194 respectively), they showcase a player who doesn't shy away from fast-paced challenges—even if the dice don't always roll in Jojo's favor.

Playing Style & Personality

Known for a tactical awareness that embraces comeback chances—recovering from lost pieces nearly 63% of the time—Jojo is never one to throw in the towel easily. That said, their early resignation rate of ~10.6% reveals the occasional philosophical surrender when the tides seem truly against them (hey, we all have our limits). With an average game length of about 49 moves per win, Jojo enjoys a good-long tussle that tests endurance and wits alike.

Jojo shines especially early mornings, with a staggering 75% win rate at 7 AM—clearly a champion for early risers and a nightmare for those still nursing their coffee. They perform best on Fridays, boasting a 57.14% win rate, making the start of the weekend a perfect time for opponents to be wary.

Chess Openings: The Good, The Bad, and The Unforgiving

Jojo’s opening repertoire is delightfully eclectic. The Kings Pawn Opening is their playground in Blitz, where Jojo wins a robust 75% of the time. Conversely, the Alekhines Defense Scandinavian Variation in Blitz is a humbling 0% win zone—an opening that seems to cruelly remind Jojo who’s boss. In Rapid games, the Three Knights Opening stands out with a strong 75% win rate too, proving that some knights really do have the moves.

Despite dabbling with a variety of defenses and gambits, some openings like the French Defense Normal Variation have yet to surrender a single win—perhaps a future battleground to conquer.

Record & Rivalries

Over 26 Blitz games, Jojo captured victory 9 times and learned from 17 defeats—a testament to perseverance! Bullet is tougher with no wins yet in 3 games, but Rapid is the true theatre of glory, with 61 wins out of 154 games.

Among many rivals, Jojo seems to have a love-hate relationship with some opponents — victories against sampurn7, labest234, and jasur_jasur are bright spots, while others like niczko2267 remain elusive foes.

Notable Games: Triumph and Trials

Jojo recently scored a swift and elegant win against sampurn7 in a Kings Pawn Opening battle, winning by resignation after just two moves – a true lightning strike!

Another highlight was a grueling 43-move checkmate victory against labest234, showcasing Jojo’s patience and endgame prowess in the Scotch Game.

But it's not always sunshine; losses against niczko2267 and others remind us that in chess, every defeat is a lesson wrapped in a puzzle.

In Summary

Jojo Poivre might not yet be a grandmaster, but their blend of tactical guts, early morning brilliance, and quirky opening choices makes them a beloved figure on the digital chess battlefield. With each game, they add chapters to a story of passion, resilience, and the timeless joy of outsmarting opponents—even if just sometimes.
