Laurin Jahnz - Candidate Master
Meet Laurin Jahnz, also known around the 64-square battlefield as Laurin_2009, a chess enthusiast who has passionately embraced the chaos of bullet and blitz with a title to show for it: Candidate Master, courtesy of FIDE. Laurin's chess journey is far from boring—it's a rollercoaster ride across bullet and blitz boards where speed and nerves collide.
With a peak bullet rating of an astonishing 2649 achieved in May 2025 and a blitz peak just a hair lower at 2573, Laurin dives headfirst into fast-paced games with relentless energy. Although the bullet rating rollercoaster swings wildly—from a humble 1771 to a fiery 2649—Laurin's resilience shines through with a remarkable comeback rate over 90%, proving that even the sharpest losses only fuel the next victory.
Laurin prefers a lengthy battle to a quick snipe, averaging nearly 89 moves to win in bullet games. The endgame clearly suits Laurin’s style, with an endgame frequency north of 80%, displaying patience and precision when the pawns start marching and queens loosen their grip.
Known for opening varied paths — from the secretive “Top Secret” strategy to the trusty Caro-Kann and the French Defense—Laurin keeps opponents guessing and often off-balance. When not puzzling adversaries, Laurin’s day peaks early, boasting the best performance at the crack of dawn (7 AM), perhaps powered by coffee or sheer determination.
Laurin’s psychological game is a tale of ups and downs, with a tilt factor of 11 suggesting some battlefield frustrations, but a robust tactical awareness makes up for it: winning over 39% of games even after losing a piece. With White, Laurin wins just over 44% of the time, proving that the first move advantage is a comfortable friend.
Beyond stats, Laurin's gameplay has included some memorable clashes like a recent triumph with the Caro-Kann Defense where Laurin won by resignation after a hard-fought midgame assault, and another thrilling victory on time against Gertsog in a Sicilian French Variation. Of course, even a Candidate Master bows sometimes, as seen in a tense game against Asalimova where the Slav Defense severed Laurin's winning chances.
Outside the board, Laurin could probably tell a joke about losing fifteen games in a row (the longest losing streak) only to bounce back with an 11-game winning streak—talk about emotional rollercoaster chess!
In the high-speed world of Laurin_2009, patience wins, perseverance counts, and the blitz bullet dance goes on. Watch out — a quick move here, a clever tactic there, and Laurin’s ready to checkmate your expectations.
