With a peak Rapid rating of 1020 achieved in April 2025 and a solid Daily rating of 1200 in May 2025, JRom2021’s chess journey is a lively saga of grit, determination, and relentless spirit.

Known for diving into battle with openings like the Philidor Defense (where the win rate proudly sits at 75%) and throwing caution to the wind in the Kings Pawn Opening Kings Knight Variation (a modest 16.67% win rate, but hey, participation trophies exist for a reason!), JRom2021 never shies from a challenge. This player’s style could best be described as “boldly optimistic,” often resigning early about 24% of the time—because why drag out a losing battle when you can strategize for the next one?

JRom2021’s tales of glory often come after epic comebacks, boasting a comeback rate of 55% and an uncanny ability to wrestle some wins even after losing a piece (win rate after losing a piece sits at 24%). While the longest losing streak reached a daunting 11 games, the player’s perseverance is unmatched—a true example of “losing is not falling down, it’s refusing to get back up.”

In the arena of friendships—and rivalries—JRom2021 finds mixed fortunes: a perfect 100% win record against some opponents like tamikiwi and cheserg, while others like tankemadrigal remain elusive adversaries. The daily battles often peak in the evenings around 8 PM, which just might be JRom2021's secret weapon time.
