Jovana Srdanovic (joksijoksi)

Woman International Master

Meet Jovana Srdanovic, better known in the blitz battlefield as joksijoksi, a formidable Woman International Master (WIM) who dances gracefully across the 64 squares with a mix of calculated precision and charming unpredictability. Known for her resilience and tactical prowess, Jovana has amassed over 1,200 wins in blitz alone — enough to fill up an entire chessboard multiple times over!

Since her blitz debut in December 2019, starting from a humble rating of 968, she ignited her engines and rocketed her way to a stunning peak blitz rating of 2679 in early 2024, a level where mere mortals start considering resignations before the first move. Her bullet skills also sparkle brilliantly with a peak rating topping 2552, proving that at lightning speed, she’s a whirlwind nobody wants to face.

Playing Style & Strengths

Jovana’s average game length hovers around 80 moves for wins, reflecting deep strategic battles that showcase her endgame mastery — she finishes strong with over 81% of her games featuring endgames. She’s not only tenacious but also psychologically savvy, boasting a comeback rate of over 86% and a win rate after losing a piece close to 47%. In short, Jovana turns adversity into opportunity and thrives under pressure.

Early resignation? Not in her vocabulary: a mere 3.26% early resignation rate hints at her fighting spirit — she battles until the last pawn stands, unless it’s clear the opponent deserves the crown.

Chess Humor & Quirks

Off the board, Jovana might laugh at her own tilted moments (barely 11 on the tilt factor scale, thank you very much!), but on the board, she’s all business. Her winning streak once reached an impressive 25 games — a feat that surely sent opponents scrambling for their kings (and their sanity). And if you thought morning coffee was the best time for a wake-up, Jovana’s best time to play is actually at 6:00 AM — who says early risers don't claim the chess throne?
