Profile: Jay (KingSherwood2)

Jay, known in the chess world by the enigmatic handle KingSherwood2, is a player who proves that dedication and a dash of mystery make for a winning combination. Since 2021, Jay has been steadily climbing the rapid rating ladder, hitting a peak of 1565 in 2023 — making it clear that this player is no pawn in the game of improvement.

On the daily front, Jay is a force to be reckoned with, boasting a flawless record of 4 wins and zero losses in 2025, accompanied by an impressive 100% win rate using the secretive "Top Secret" opening. (No spoilers here – it's a mystery even to us!) Not to mention, Jay's current winning streak stands tall at 11 games, with the longest streak previously reaching 12. Talk about staying on a roll!

When it comes to style, Jay is the patient strategist — with an average of almost 75 moves per winning game, and slightly longer battles in losses, showing resilience and a love for those long, tactical endgames (Jay’s endgame frequency is a whopping 75.23%). Jay’s psychological fortitude shines through a tilt factor of just 16, and an almost mythical 100% win rate after losing a piece — a comeback artist in the truest sense.

Jay’s tactical wizardry and psychological stamina earn high marks: with a comeback rate of 82.89% and an early resignation rate below 2%, it's clear that Jay battles on until the last piece falls. (Quite literally!) And despite a modest win rate hovering around 46-48% depending on color and time, opponents rarely get an easy checkmate because Jay doesn't quit – the games are a chess marathon, not a sprint.

Outside the numbers, Jay is a player who treats each game like a thrilling story; with each opponent on deck — from gurosage to ninjhabiker — Jay reportedly holds an undefeated record (100% win rate against many recent challengers), which might just be a sign that you're in for a real fight if you face this King of Sherwood.

All in all, Jay is the kind of chess player who embodies grit, mystery, and a quietly effective style. So next time you see KingSherwood2 across the board, sharpen your tactics and prepare for a battle of wits that might just last 78 moves, but will certainly never be boring.
