Meet juanakaa: The Rising Star of the Rapid Realm
Once upon a chessboard, in the intense battles of rapid time control, juanakaa emerged not just as a player, but as a relentless tactician and a beacon of perseverance. Clocking in an impressive peak rapid rating of 860 in April 2024, juanakaa carved out a niche where patience meets precision, and every move counts.
Starting with a modest rating of under 350 in late 2022, this crafty contender quickly elevated the game, smashing through the 700 barrier early in 2023. By April 2024, juanakaa hit an eye-popping 860, a testament to dedication, study, and perhaps a few lucky blunders from opponents.
Style & Strengths
Known for a solid endgame approach with play often lasting over 45 moves in winning games, juanakaa has a come-from-behind magic rate of over 60%, turning apparent disasters into dazzling victories. With a willingness to resign early only about 4% of the time, they prefer giving it their all on the battlefield.
Despite dabbling across blitz (peak 390) and bullet (peak 409), rapid remains their kingdom. The fairy tale includes a longest winning streak of 9 games, interrupted only by the occasional learning moment.
