Jongheonyun: The Rising Strategist of the Chessboard
Meet jongheonyun, a rapid chess aficionado whose journey resembles an epic novel more than just a series of pawns and knights battles. Starting in 2022 with a humble Rapid rating hovering under 1100, jongheonyun has been steadily climbing the ranks—like a knight on a quest to rescue the princess of Elo points—and in 2025 proudly holds a Rapid rating exceeding 1200. Not bad for someone who probably still wishes they knew all the chess openings by heart!
While bullet chess might be the favorite playground for chess gods, jongheonyun's bullet games reveal a player who takes their time—even if “bullet” implies speed. After a shaky start with a rough 0-5 in 2023 bullet, jongheonyun bounced back in 2024 with a bullet win rate close to 67%, proving that persistence beats panic moves. And don’t ask about blitz—there’s a bit of mystery there, as jongheonyun’s blitz rating seems to hover around a steady (and slightly stubborn) 775, possibly perfecting the art of the dramatic blunder.
A Performance Built on Tenacity
- Longest Winning Streak: 10 games — that’s more perseverance than a pawn marching to promotion!
- Current Winning Streak: 1 (keeps things humble)
- Comeback Rate: 72.46% — a true Phoenix of the chessboard, rising from the ashes of lost pieces.
- Win Rate After Losing a Piece: 100% — clearly, jongheonyun’s motto is “I may lose a bishop, but I won’t lose the game.”
- Early Resignation Rate: 7.38% — Sometimes you know when to throw in the towel, but not too early!
The openings remain a top secret as jongheonyun has played nearly 1500 rapid games with an almost 50% win rate. This could mean a well-hidden arsenal of moves or simply that their opponents never quite crack the code.
Psychological Warfare and Style
With a tilt factor of 13, jongheonyun clearly knows how to keep calm under fire, and enjoys a fairly balanced White (48.89% wins) and Black (49.54% wins) performance. Their average games tend to be a thriller with almost 62 moves per win—enough drama and suspense to keep you on the edge of your seat—and nearly 45 moves per loss, showing that defeat never comes without a fight.
Timing is Everything
Playing across days and hours, jongheonyun shines brightest in the afternoon and early evening, especially at 6 PM and 5 PM, where win rates hit a remarkable 77% and 83% respectively. However, 8 PM and 10 PM seem to be quite the challenge with below 25% wins, reminding us all that the chess brain might sometimes prefer an early bedtime.
In Summary
