Profile Summary: jonners79

Meet jonners79, a rapidly ascending chess enthusiast who’s been shaking up the chessboard since at least 2024. With a Peak Rapid rating of 507 achieved in May 2025, jonners79 proves that slow and steady can indeed climb the ranks – especially when "slow" means averaging games with around 50 moves per win!

Playing Style & Strengths

jonners79 enjoys the long haul, favoring endgames with an endgame frequency of 58.4%. A chess marathoner, their average winning game lasts about 55 moves, while losses tend to drag on a bit longer – probably just trying to squeeze out one more chance. Early resignation is rare, with only 5.5% of games ended prematurely, showing some serious stamina and hope.

With a comeback rate over 60%, jonners79 refuses to give up even after taking a hit – resilience is their middle name! And although winning after losing a piece comes less than 40% of the time, this player’s spirit means they fight tooth and nail until the final checkmate or resignation.

Favorite Openings

When it comes to openings, jonners79 is a fan of the classics and some sneaky twists. The Van't Kruijs Opening is a personal triumph ground, boasting a win rate over 62%! Other trusted favorites include the King’s Pawn Opening with nearly 50% win rate and the Alekhine’s Defense, which delivers victory more often than not at 60%. However, the King’s Pawn Opening Kings Knight Variation might be a nemesis, with just a 19% win rate, proving that even seasoned players have their kryptonite.

Performance Highlights

  • Rapid games played: over 600, with a respectable total record of 347 wins, 325 losses, and 35 draws.
  • Bullet chess is currently a less successful adventure, with a max rating of only 134, but hey, everyone has their comfort zone!
  • Longest winning streak: 12 games – a mini chess empire!
  • Most frequent opponents include al-makov and kingsiroos, but beware: jonners79 shows mixed results here.

Psychological Quirks

A tilt factor of 8 suggests the emotional rollercoaster rides can get intense – but nothing a solid cup of coffee and a break won't fix. Best time to challenge them? Around 2 a.m., when their win rate soars past 80% – nocturnal knights becoming true warriors.

Memorable Recent Battles

johners79 recently showcased masterful and cheeky attacking skills in live games, including a devastating Queen maneuver that led to a swift resignation by opponent Vlad_Qtko. Sometimes, the Queen just wants all the fun – and apparently all the pawns too.

Not every game is a fairy tale, though. jonners79 has experienced a few tough losses, including one where the clock ran out unexpectedly. As every chess player knows, the timer is a merciless beast, especially during those nail-biting endgames!

In summary:

jonners79 is a persistent, resilient rapid chess player who balances classic opening theory with a fighting spirit. Whether quietly grinding in the endgame or dazzling with daring Queen sorties, this player turns every game into a story worth watching (or chuckling about when a blunder slips in). Keep your eyes on jonners79 – the board’s adventure is never dull!
