Jonasz Baum - International Master Extraordinaire
Meet Jonasz Baum, the chess whiz who holds the prestigious title of International Master awarded by FIDE. Jonasz doesn't just play chess — they live it, breathe it, and occasionally make their opponents question reality on the 64 squares.
With a blitz rating soaring to an impressive 2796 in 2023 and almost touching 2800 in 2024, Jonasz dominates the fast-paced formats with breathtaking precision. Their bullet rating isn't far behind either, peaking at a staggering 2821 — proof that lightning-fast tactics are firmly in their playbook.
Jonasz is famous (or infamous) for a secret weapon: playing a mysterious, “Top Secret” opening that has baffled opponents and led to a solid winning rate of over 54% in blitz and just under 52% in bullet. Some say it’s a move only Jonasz knows, others suspect time travel.
Beyond their raw ratings, Jonasz appreciates the long, strategic battles — their endgame frequency is almost 88%, showing remarkable stamina and technique. With an average of 85 moves to win and nearly 93 moves when losing, every game is an epic saga.
Known for a nearly perfect comeback ability, Jonasz boasts a 100% win rate after losing a piece, turning adversity into advantage like a true chess superhero — no tilt, no tantrums, just cool calculation (their tilt factor is a mere 6, modest for a player of their caliber).
A tactician at heart but also a grinder, Jonasz's longest winning streak hit 10 games, and even when the streak ends, they bounce back swiftly — currently on a fresh winning streak of 1.
When does Jonasz shine brightest? Early morning matches around 9 AM see their highest win rates (a whopping 64%), while evenings around 8 PM offer another peak in performance. Mondays might be a bit rougher, but every other day is fair game for domination.
Whether facing frequent rivals like scarlet_fate (winning over 80% of their encounters) or going toe-to-toe with legends, Jonasz remains an ever-evolving force — a player who brings creativity, resilience, and just the right dash of mystery to the chessboard.
Fun fact: Jonasz’s opponents might consider investing in “How to Handle a Top Secret Opening” manuals, but for now, it's all part of the legend.
