Heinz Fuchs

Heinz Fuchs (aka Joss-Fritz)

Heinz Fuchs, better known in the chess circles as Joss-Fritz, is a formidable blitz specialist who dances on the 64 squares at breathtaking speeds. His rating journey has been nothing short of a rollercoaster—with a peak blitz rating soaring up to 2489 in August 2024, proving he’s no stranger to the upper echelons of online chess play.

Blitz Brilliance & Rapid Rise

With a blitz game count topping over 4,000 matches, Heinz boasts a solid win rate of 54.36%, a testament to his consistent clutch performances. His rapid rating peaked recently at 2006, where he dominates with an eye-popping 87.5% win rate in that format—clearly, slow motions just aren’t his style!

Playing Style: Tactical Wizardry With a Dash of Drama

Known for his early resignations being only 1.11% (barely a "tilt" in sight), Heinz thrives in the endgame phase, with an impressive frequency of 82.04%. Average moves per game are around 77, which means he’s comfortable waging long tactical battles but also ready to strike decisively. His psychological resilience is noteworthy, with a “tilt factor” kept at a mere 7 (for a blitz fanatic, that’s serene), and a spectacular 82.77% comeback rate after being down—a true phoenix in chess boots.

Favorite Times & Opponents

The crack of dawn is Heinz’s prime time; 07:00 hours is when his brain is firing on all cylinders, winning more than 63% of his matches around this hour. His top foes include names like aleksander555 and sinisa75, whom he’s battled ten times each—proving rivalry breeds excellence.

Recent Career Highlights

Among his recent triumphs, a spectacular checkmate in just 13 moves against "JustAJit76" in a Chess960 match shines bright—a masterclass in swift and elegant offense. Although even Heinz stumbles occasionally, like a recent loss to “alaqabi,” his ability to dust off and keep playing sets him apart.

Fun Fact

If chess were a sprint, Heinz would be Usain Bolt. Yet, he secretly enjoys long tactical marathons—an unusual combo that keeps his opponents guessing. Whether it’s a nail-biting comeback or a quick-mate knockout, Joss-Fritz’s games carry the excitement of a thriller—without the popcorn (because who can eat and calculate at the same time?).
