Jossssiii: The Rapid Rook Wrangler

Meet Jossssiii, a chess enthusiast whose rapid games are as unpredictable as a squirrel on caffeine. With a peak rapid rating of 567 achieved in May 2025, Jossssiii has shown a penchant for tactical skirmishes and surprising victories, proving that sometimes it’s not just about the score but the style of play.

Over 113 rapid games logged this year reveal a player who thrives under pressure, holding a respectable win rate slightly above 50% (54 wins, 47 losses, 12 draws). When playing with the white pieces, Jossssiii strikes with a 46.55% success rate, while black pieces bring a sneaky 48.21% win rate. Clearly, Jossssiii knows both sides of the board—and often isn’t afraid to flip the script.

Favorite openings? The Van Geet Opening and Nimzowitsch Defense lead the charge, boasting a solid 71.43% win rate each. But the Queens Pawn Opening also holds a special place in the heart, especially in its Chigorin and Zukertort variations. It seems Jossssiii loves branching out as much as keeping opponents guessing.

Psychological resilience is strong with this one—Jossssiii has a comeback rate of an impressive 68.52%, meaning even after a losing piece, they bounce back with a gritty 41.57% chance of winning. But beware: the tilt factor is a modest 4, so maybe don’t mention the last checkmate loss to diddan77 just yet.

Speaking of opponents, Jossssiii has a curious rivalry going on. Against some foes like diddan77, the record is a cold 0% win, but against others like wanyota, it’s a perfect 100%. It’s a rollercoaster season with dramatic highs ending in checkmates that often happen around 10 AM, which is apparently their best time of day to play.

When it comes to length, Jossssiii’s wins average 58 moves—a testament to their endurance and strategic patience. Losses drag on a bit longer at 62 moves, possibly because Jossssiii refuses to give up without a fight.
