Meet Jegede Francis aka MrBossest
Jegede Francis is a fearless warrior of the 64 squares, a chess player whose journey reads less like a parade of glory and more like a rollercoaster ride powered by caffeine, stubbornness, and an uncanny knack for both brilliant wins and spectacular losses.
Chessing Through Time
Starting in 2025 with a modest rapid rating of 400, Jegede quickly soared—or at least made a strong flutter—reaching a peak rapid rating of 707 in early April. But true to the turbulent spirit of a warrior, he then embarked on a series of thrilling battles resulting in a mix of fiery wins and humbling defeats. His blitz prowess is particularly notable with a peak blitz rating of 1404, proving that when the clock ticks down, MrBossest tends to bring his A-game.
Style & Strategy
MrBossest prefers the adrenaline rush of Blitz — because who needs long, contemplative games when you can win or lose spectacularly in under five minutes? His games average about 37 moves, hinting at a penchant for scrambling and tactical melees rather than well-oiled, long-term planning. His endgame frequency stands at nearly 25%, indicating he often gets deep into the chess trenches before the battle concludes.
This player has an interesting psychological profile: with a tilt factor of 6, he’s no stranger to those moments when the pieces just don’t want to listen. Yet, he’s a resilient comeback kid with a 40% rate of clawing back from behind. Tactical awareness is a work-in-progress—winning only about 20% of games after losing a piece—but hey, progress is part of the fun.
Opening Repertoire (or How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love My Queens Pawn)
- Queen's Pawn Opening – Accelerated London System: A frequent battleground (11 games) where he commands a respectable 45% win rate.
- King's Pawn Opening - King's Knight Variation: Shows bravery here but the win rate dips to 20%, possibly because it’s tough to win with charm alone.
- Englund Gambit: A cheeky choice, winning 40% of the time—because every great player enjoys the occasional surprise attack.
- Various quirky openings like Van t Kruijs and Mikenas Defense keep opponents guessing…and sometimes scratching their heads.
Record & Rivalries
Jegede has fought valiantly across different time controls:
Rapid sees 27 wins vs 46 losses, with a few draws stealthily tucked in.
Daily games are close to even at 2 wins and 2 losses, proving flexibility.
Bullet is an area of learning with yet to taste victory.
