Baptiste Levert - aka Julescaius
Meet Baptiste Levert, a chess warrior navigating the wild worlds of Rapid, Bullet, Blitz, and Daily games with a flair that’s part strategic genius, part “did I just resign early?” Baptiste’s journey is a rollercoaster of tactical adventures and surprise comebacks, all played under the seasoned username Julescaius.
Rating Rollercoaster & Playing Style
In 2025, Baptiste hit a peak Rapid rating of 581—which is impressive, considering a few months later it took a dive closer to 371. His Bullet max peaked at 420, Blitz at 356, and a respectable Daily rating of 546. Not averse to early resignations (clocking in an “Early Resignation Rate” of about 12%), Baptiste fights fiercely in the endgame nearly half the time, showing an endgame patience that belies the rapid-fire Bullet matches.
Interestingly, Baptiste has a peculiar charm for starting fights with a Bishop’s Opening—one of his more successful opening choices where he tends to make opponents sweat. Van 't Kruijs Opening is another go-to, boasting a striking win rate of over 80% in Rapid and a solid 70% in Bullet. When Baptiste’s white pieces march forward, expect tactical fireworks—after all, a 79.83% comeback rate after setbacks hints at a resilient mindset that refuses to quit.
Victories, Defeats, and Psychology
With a total record in Rapid of 90 wins against 78 losses and 13 draws, Baptiste dances on the edge of victory and defeat with equal poise. His Bullet and Blitz games are a bit of a mixed bag, boasting almost even wins and losses—never a dull moment! The average game moves for victories linger around 55, proof that Baptiste prefers the long haul rather than blitzing out a quick scalp.
His tilt factor is just a mild 6, meaning he’s likely more “chess zen master” than “rage quit artist.” And if you ever want to catch Baptiste at his best, try playing him at 6 AM—his secret power hour where his win rate shoots up to a perfect 100% (or maybe that’s just the coffee kicking in).
Notable Games & Rivals
Among his recent conquests is a dazzling attack with the Bishop’s Opening against PxnDorA071, where Baptiste forced resignation just after snatching a queen early and weaving relentless pressure. Even when losses come, they’re often due to sharp tactical lapses—like the Pirc Defense game against Watafak_Botak, reminding us that even the best stumble now and then.
Baptiste’s opponents range from friendly rivals like clinoeud (with a competitive 60% win rate against them) to some absolute nemeses where victory proves harder. Yet, his track record against a wide roster of opponents reveals a fighting spirit with more wins than losses overall—perfect for anyone who appreciates the thrill of the battle over spreadsheet-perfect statistics.
The Legend in the Making
All in all, Baptiste Levert (Julescaius) is a chess player who balances gritty determination, tactical cunning, and a charming willingness to resign early when things go sideways—because why drag it out when you can learn and come back stronger? Whether he’s dominating openings like the Van 't Kruijs or puzzling out endgames, Baptiste embodies the spirit of a player always striving to turn pawns into legends (and perhaps a little fun along the way).
Watch this space. Or better yet, challenge him yourself—just don’t be surprised if he greets you with a cheeky Bishop’s Opening and a grin.
