M. Azhar Jundur Rahman (aka MrJr30)

Meet M. Azhar Jundur Rahman, a chess adventurer known online as MrJr30, whose rapid chess journey is a rollercoaster of dramatic highs and baffling lows. With a peak rapid rating of 624 achieved in March 2025, Azhar’s chess tale reads like a gripping novel: moments of brilliance interspersed with puzzling stumbles.

Since the first rapid game played at the start of 2025, Azhar has engaged in over 400 rapid battles, with a nearly even spread of victories (184 wins) and losses (188 defeats), and a sprinkle of draws (36) to keep things suspenseful. A fearless tactician, Azhar boasts a 63% comeback rate—because who doesn’t love a good thriller comeback? But fair warning: the longest losing streak hit eight games, proving that even the mightiest sometimes get haunted by pawns and knights.

Playing Style & Favorite Openings

Azhar is not one to give up early, with an early resignation rate of only 18%. Endgames are his stage, featuring in nearly half of his games (48.8% endgame frequency), where the average fight lasts about 50 moves. Both as White and Black, his win rates hover in the mid-40s, suggesting a balanced but hard-fought approach.

His opening repertoire reads like a well-seasoned chess buffet: favoring classic battlegrounds like the King’s Pawn Opening (played 94 times with an almost even split of 45 wins and 45 losses), the sneaky Alekhine’s Defense, and even the unpredictable Indian Game, where he shines with a cool 60% win rate. The French Defense is another strong suit, where Azhar knows how to turn the tides with a 55.6% success rate.

Fun Facts & Quirks

• Azhar is most dangerous around 8 AM, his best time of day to play—coffee or sheer morning genius?
• He’s known for riding the waves of fortune, winning 83.6% of games against lower-rated opponents but struggling (only 10.6% wins) against those rated above him.
• Surprisingly, his luck varies by hour: he dominates at 9 AM with a 60% win rate and has a quirky 30.3% win rate at 7 AM—early birds aren’t always lucky.

Recent Battles

Azhar’s recent games reflect his fighting spirit: in a classic showdown against ABj7t7, he executed a beautiful checkmate, ending the match at move 23. However, not all days are sunny; losses against AhmedElmon and LouLouZer22 show that even our chess warrior faces the dreaded game abandonment and checkmate.

In his last win, Azhar forced his opponent to resign after a solid defense in a Queens Pawn Opening variation. Proving once again that resilience and strategy are his chess companions.
