Player Profile: Joshi98
Meet Joshi98, a chess battler whose journey through the ranks reads like a rollercoaster ride with a chessboard twist! With a peak daily rating of 1058 achieved in May 2020, Joshi98 has proven they’re no stranger to the battlefield—though sometimes the battlefield looks hilariously unpredictable.
Chess Style & Strategy
Joshi98 prefers to keep opponents guessing, dabbling in everything from the eccentric Grob Opening (where victory came 2 out of 3 times, presumably confusing foes into submission) to solid defenses like the Petrov’s Defense Classical Variation, boasting a perfect 100% record in that line. They’re a fan of tactical scrambles, boasting a brilliant 90% comeback rate when behind—a true chess phoenix rising from the ashes. One might say Joshi98 thrives on drama, with an average of 70.5 moves per win proving endurance is key, even if it means occasionally hanging on by a thread.
Stats & Streaks
This player’s daily record paints a story of balance with exactly as many wins as losses (10 each), and a longest winning streak hitting five games. But beware, there was a time when the losing streak stretched to four in a row—chess is serious business, but Joshi98 keeps the humbling moments in check. Playing mostly casual daily games (20 played in May 2020), blitz has been a tougher nut to crack with a solitary game lost, proving fast-paced blitz might just be the great equalizer.
