Playing Style & Strengths
With an average game lasting about 57 moves for wins, jombie05 certainly fights it out until the endgame – nearly half of their wins involve navigating the complexities of the endgame (49.19%). Known for their tactical resilience, jombie05 boasts a remarkable 66% comeback rate, turning lost battles into tales of triumphant rooks and sneaky knights. Their perseverance is only rivalled by their willingness to occasionally throw in an early resignation—a modest 6%—because who likes suffering through a hopeless position?
Favorite Opening Gambits
- Rapid: Kings Pawn Opening (50.8% win rate) and Scandinavian Defense Mieses Kotrc Variation (53.6% win rate) are jombie05’s bread and butter, with a solid preference for classical, principled openings.
- Blitz & Bullet: Prefers the Pirc and Italian Game, experimenting bravely even in the chaotic seconds (though occasionally paying the price).
Competitive Stats

Psych & Performance Quirks
Jombie05’s "Tilt Factor" sits at 14—a polite way of saying they might mutter some choice words under the breath when the knight leaps onto their queen, but they bounce right back. Interestingly, their best time to snipe a win is around 8 PM, so if you see their clock ticking at that hour, bracing for battle is advised.
Memorable Matches
Case in point: a recent rapid triumph delivered by a checkmate in a dazzling attack employing the Vienna Game. jombie05 executed a queen-side ballet culminating in a decisive Qg7#—talk about a mic-drop finish! Conversely, losses often come by way of resignation when the opponent’s pressure becomes too much. But hey, every warrior knows some battles are lost to win the war.
