Player Profile: josefcinar

Meet josefcinar, a blitz warrior armed with a trusty Bishop and a penchant for the Nimzowitsch Larsen Attack. With a peak blitz rating soaring up to 760 in April 2025, josefcinar has demonstrated remarkable growth—from a humble 243 in late 2023 to a speedster smashing nearly 600+ in 2025. Not bad for someone who sometimes feels the urge to resign early (only about 2.8% of games, phew!).

The Style

Known for an endgame-heavy arsenal, josefcinar’s games typically run long—winning games last on average 53 moves, while losses extend beyond 61 moves, proving true stamina on the battlefield.

Armed with a comeback rate of 72%, this player rarely gives up without a fight. Even after losing a piece, josefcinar manages to claw back with a 43% win rate. It’s like that squirrel you underestimated—incredibly scrappy and persistent.

Blitz Battles and Not-So-Bullet Enthusiast

josefcinar’s favorite playground? The blitz arena, with nearly 3,700 games played, boasting a success rate of just under 50%. Bullet speed chess? Let’s say preference leans toward careful blitzing—with a modest peak bullet rating of 279 and just a handful of bullet clashes.

Openings Navigator

  • King's Pawn Opening: A solid go-to, with a win rate around 49.2% after nearly 1,000 blitz battles.
  • Van ’t Kruijs Opening: Slightly luckier here, winning over 50% of the almost 800 blitz games.
  • Nimzowitsch Larsen Attack (Modern & Classical Variations): Special sauce! josefcinar has nearly 900 games combined in these, hovering at about a 49–50% win rate — an opening signature that’s proven resilient and effective.
  • French Defense Knight Variation: Surprisingly successful with a 52% win rate over 230+ games. Talk about keeping opponents on their toes!

Recent Triumphs & Epic Battles

The latest triumph was a cunning victory over “Achsooo” on June 3, 2025, where josefcinar used the Nimzowitsch Larsen Attack Modern Variation to claim a victory after just 31 moves—opponent apparently decided it was time to pack up and go!

However, not every day is a royal feast—recent defeats against opponents like "UJr91" and "sphyro47" remind us that even knights fall, but the fight continues.

Psychological Edge & Time Machine

Beware playing josefcinar around 1 AM UTC, his prime chess hour. This is when the tilt factor is at a low (12 out of a 100-ish scale) and win percentages peak—he's basically a chess vampire at this dead hour, craving boards instead of blood.

Winning Against the Odds

When the odds are stacked:

  • Against higher-rated foes: Success is tough, with a 17% win rate (but hey, 17% means every 6th attempt could be glorious!).
  • Against lower-rated challengers: josefcinar shines with an impressive 80% win rate. No mercy for the rookies!
  • And equally matched opponents? The score is near-even, with a slight edge to the opposition.

Opponents Beware

josefcinar’s opponent record shows some nemeses with 0% success rate against him (sorry, “ujr91”, “sphyro47”), while also delivering checkmates like a seasoned boss (just ask “jeff37”). To sum up: josefcinar doesn’t just play chess, he sometimes makes it look like checkmate is a casual stroll in the park.

Fun Fact

Despite all the serious numbers, if josefcinar were a chess piece, he’d likely be a sneaky bishop—always maneuvering for positional dominance and delivering unexpected surprises. This player is proof that in chess, patience, endurance, and tactical grit can outshine luck any day.

In summary: chess lover, endgame grinder, and the midnight menace of blitz chess arenas worldwide.
