José Antonio Gutierrez Herrera (Josetono) - International Master
José Antonio Gutierrez Herrera, or simply Josetono to friends and foes alike, is an International Master known for mixing brilliant tactics with a dash of unpredictability. With a love for the game that’s as deep as a rook’s reach and a psychological tilt factor of just 5 (because frustration is for pawns), Josetono has carved out a reputation for his impressive comebacks—boasting a staggering 75% rate of turning games around even after losing a piece.
In rapid chess, Josetono dances between highs and lows, peaking at a solid 2290 before gracefully dropping to 2138, proving that even the best sometimes take a tactical coffee break. Blitz is where things get spicy, with 19 fierce battles fought and a peak rating of 2039. Bullet? A quick one-game blitzkrieg at a steady 1800 rating, showing that while speed is fun, Josetono prefers a bit more room to calculate his genius moves.
Strategically, Josetono enjoys long, drawn-out endgames, with over 68% of games progressing to this stage—forget quick mates, he savors the chess marathon. Average game lengths of around 50 moves for wins and nearly 79 for losses suggest an iron will, often outlasting opponents in grueling battles of wits.
He tends to perform better with the black pieces, where his win rate rises to 45.45%, proving it's not just the first move advantage but cunning strategy that wins the day. White pieces see a humbler 27.27% win rate, but Josetono’s tenacity is always evident.
Facing a variety of opponents—from "yemiabioye" to "kraspedakusta"—Josetono has a mixed bag of results, but his signature lies in never backing down. While some rivals have escaped with elusive wins, many have succumbed to his clever tactics and resilience.
When it comes to timing, Saturdays are golden, with a perfect 100% win rate—maybe it’s the weekend vibe, or maybe Josetono just knows it’s time to bring the heat. Late nights around 11 PM (23:00) also seem to trigger his sharpest moves, winning a solid 75% of games played then.
In summary, José Antonio ("Josetono") is an IM who combines tactical brilliance, stubborn persistence, and just the right amount of humor—because after all, if you can’t laugh at losing a queen, what’s the point?
