Profile of Jb Bioteau (aka Kerdaz)

Meet Jb Bioteau, better known in the virtual chess arenas as Kerdaz, a player whose rating rollercoaster resembles more of a thrilling amusement park ride than a consistent climb. Bursting onto the scene in 2018 with a blitz peak of 650 and a rapid rating of 675, Kerdaz quickly established themselves as a force to be reckoned with—at least in spurts.

Kerdaz’s chess journey is a story of highs, lows, comebacks, and the occasional facepalm-inducing blunder. With a longest winning streak of 11 games, this player has tasted the sweet nectar of success, but also endured a legend-worthy 13-game losing streak—the kind of ups and downs that would make even a grandmaster reach for the stress ball.

Playing Style and Stats

Known for a patient endgame approach—with over half their games diving deep into complex terminus battles—Kerdaz exhibits a dogged persistence, averaging about 50 moves per victory. Their White and Black winning percentages hover close at ~40%, proving they can hold their own no matter which side of the board they occupy.

A tactical wizard? Well, the comeback rate sits impressively at 71%, suggesting Kerdaz is never out of the fight, often clawing back from losing pieces. However, an early resignation rate of 8% hints at moments of “meh, let’s just call it here” pragmatism, or perhaps a nod to knowing when the ship has sunk.

Favorite Openings & Quirks

Kerdaz prefers journeying down classic paths in rapid games, favoring openings like the King's Pawn, Pirc Defense, and the Alekhine's Defense with almost equal success (~45% win rate). In blitz, the spotlight shines on the Scandinavian Defense boasting an impressive 82% win rate—clearly a weapon of choice for lightning-fast clashes.

Daily chess players might not be as lucky facing Kerdaz, whose peak daily rating soared to an eyebrow-raising 946 back in 2018. Though recent years show a bit of a rollercoaster in daily play performance, the tactical spirit remains intact.

Psychological Tidbits

Kerdaz’s “tilt factor” clocks in at 13%, meaning the psychological battle is nearly as fierce as the one on the board. The best playing hours? Morning 10 AM and early hours like 3 and 9 AM mark peak win rates, suggesting mornings are when Kerdaz’s brain is sharpest (or the coffee strongest).

Recent Battles

Their latest triumph was against creativetechie7, clinching a win by resignation after navigating the Queen’s Pawn Opening, Zukertort Variation. On the flip side, the most recent setback was a checkmate loss to the cunning drunkpeguin in the Vienna Game, Anderssen Defense, reminding us that even warriors sometimes get their kings toppled.

In Summary

Jb Bioteau, aka Kerdaz, is a fierce competitor with flashes of brilliance, a taste for classical and aggressive openings, and a healthy dose of determination mixed with a pinch of humor (because who doesn’t chuckle at their own losing streak?). Whether you face them in rapid, blitz, bullet, or daily, expect a spirited fight that’s anything but boring.
