Meet Rahmad Junaidi, a tenacious chess enthusiast with a knack for surprises on the board. Known online as JunaidiRahmadJunaidi, Rahmad's journey through the ranks of rapid, daily, blitz, and bullet chess resembles an epic tale of highs, lows, and relentless comebacks.
Starting off strong in 2021 with a Rapid peak rating of 1324, Rahmad quickly found out the true meaning of rollercoaster chess as ratings danced up and down over the years. His rapid games alone boast over 4,000 battles fought, with nearly an equal measure of wins and losses — talk about keeping opponents on their toes!
Rahmad’s style could be described as resilient and strategic. He tends to drag games into complex endgames (a whopping 61.4% endgame frequency), refusing to resign early (early resignation rate under 3%) and often grinding out victory in long battles (avg. 57 moves per win!). When he loses a piece? Watch out — Rahmad boasts a 100% win rate after losing material, proving he’s the ultimate comeback kid.
Psychologically, Rahmad does have his moments of tilt (11% tilt factor), but it never stops him from raising his game against rated opponents, where he shines nearly 48% better than in casual play. Quite the mental warrior, no?
When it comes to time formats, rapid and daily are his playgrounds, while blitz and bullet offer fun speed challenges—even if bullet remains a bit of a wild frontier with fewer games played and a modest win rate. His fastest victories might come on Fridays and Sundays, where his win percentage tips just over the 48% mark.
Off the board, Rahmad is likely the sort who’ll chuckle at his own blunders, brush off unexpected losses, and perhaps secretly dream about a 12-game winning streak (his personal best!). Opponents beware: whether it’s a casual duel or a fierce rated clash, this player is all about fighting till the checkmate.
