Jonaisteinnab: Chess Stats & Chronicles

Once just a humble pawn in the grand scheme, Jonaisteinnab has navigated the 64 squares of chessdom with the persistence of a rook and the sneakiness of a knight. This player’s journey from the mild-mannered rating of 625 in Blitz back in 2020 to flirting with over 1100 by mid-2025 is nothing short of a tactical rollercoaster.

Current Form and Style

Preferring the slightly civilized rhythm of Daily chess games, Jonaisteinnab’s approach is a blend of patience and strategic flair. With an impressive longest winning streak of 11 games, complemented by a vexing 12-game losing streak (because triumph tastes best with a sprinkle of despair), this player keeps the chess gods on their toes.

On average, their games last around 66 moves, proving they like to battle it out until the very end—no “checkmate in 4” here; unless it’s by accident.

Opening Repertoire

Opening theory? Jonaisteinnab’s philosophy might be summarized as: “Variety is the spice of chess life.” This player has danced through numerous openings with a special penchant for the Queens Pawn Opening and Philidor Defense. Despite some ups and downs, their win rates in these openings cling somewhere around 50-55%, showing just enough consistency to make opponents nervous.
