Meet jonotarnai: The Chess Adventurer

In the vast kingdom of online chess, a legend known as jonotarnai has been quietly carving a niche for themselves with a mix of gritty determination and unexpected flair. Starting their rapid chess journey with a modest rating of 373 in 2023, jonotarnai soared up to an impressive 947 by 2025. That's like going from pawn to queen on a caffeine-fueled quest!

While their blitz rating is humble (peaking at 750 from single-game entries in 2024 and 2025), their rapid games tell a tale of persistence and growth. Over 3,600 rapid games played with a respectable win rate just shy of 48% suggests someone deeply dedicated—either that or they just really love the thrill of the fight.

Style & Strategy

jonotarnai isn't one to quit early, resigning only about 3.75% of their games prematurely. They enjoy forging epic battles, averaging over 60 moves in their wins, proving they are a fan of the long haul rather than quick finishes. With a White win rate near 52% and a Black win rate close to 44%, they show fairly balanced prowess regardless of color, though White seems to bring a slight edge.

Endgame wizardry? Absolutely! They dive deep into endgames over half the time, embracing the ultimate test of chess mastery. And if they lose a piece, watch out. Their comeback rate stands at a staggering 68.7%, with a flawless 100% win rate after losing a piece—evidence that jonotarnai turns adversity into advantage like a true chess ninja.

Psychological Toughness

Beware their tilt factor—rated at 10—which means they occasionally let frustration peek out, but nothing too dramatic. It’s probably just their way of saying, “Bring on the next challenge!”

Rivalries and Records

jonotarnai has battled a broad spectrum of foes, from the frequent three-time opponents like juliusdelicious and tacodoc, to a diverse cast of nearly 1,800 wins in rapid play. Their overall record reads like a rollercoaster: 1772 wins, 1704 losses, and a few dozen draws, but the wins keep coming.

Fun Fact

At 8 moves into a game, jonotarnai has a perfect 100% win rate... okay, this might be a statistical blip, but who wouldn’t want to believe they have a magic "early moves" button?

Whether they are quietly plotting their next big tournament upset or amusing themselves with long tactical scrambles, jonotarnai represents the spirit of every chess player who knows that the journey is just as thrilling as the checkmate.
