Jhosua Kharis Elio M. (aka Joka-29)

Meet Jhosua Kharis Elio M., a rapid chess tactician whose rating rollercoaster could make even the most daring coaster enthusiast queasy. Peaking impressively at 685 in Rapid and 572 in Bullet during April 2025, Jhosua battles valiantly through every game, proving that sometimes you win, sometimes you learn... or get checkmated spectacularly.

Known online as Joka-29, this player has a penchant for the King's Pawn Opening and the obscure but sneaky Alekhine's Defense Maroczy Variation—which boasts his highest win rate of a solid 66.67%. But when faced with the mighty Scandinavian Defense or nimble Nimzowitsch Defense, even Joka-29 admits to a humbling challenge.

On the chessboard, Jhosua exhibits a distinctive style: he’s not afraid to resign early (a mere 9.52% of the time), but when he's in it, you're likely stuck enduring an endgame saga averaging more than 50 moves. His comeback rate after a loss is nothing short of impressive at 70.18%, making him a true fighter who refuses to surrender gracefully.

Psychologically, Joka-29’s tilt factor is relatively low (9), but every player has their kryptonite—10 AM chess is when Jhosua truly shines, boasting a win rate nearing 78% during that hour. Considering his preferred times, opponents beware if you face him just before morning coffee!

Recent Highlights:

• Latest win: A cunning victory over XsPAWER with a textbook defense and an early game abandonment, proving Jhosua’s strategic patience pays off.
• Toughest foes: While Jhosua dominates some opponents like xspawer and gokcesan with 100% win rates, others like alzidchess manage to keep Joka-29 in check.

Despite the occasional losing streak stretched to nine games (ouch), Jhosua keeps his spirits high and his mind sharp. With a heart of gold and a mind full of chess gambits, Joka-29 continues to hunt for that elusive rating spike and maybe, just maybe, a checkmate that will leave spectators gasping and opponents groaning.

One thing’s for sure: whether through bullet blunders or rapid ravings, Jhosua Kharis Elio M. is a name to remember in the chess world—mostly for his resilience, a dash of humor, and a surprisingly high amount of Polish Opening success (60% win rate, no less).
