Jonathan Sharp

Jonathan Sharp (aka MrSHARP2)

Jonathan Sharp is a chess player who’s been navigating the chaotic battlegrounds of Bullet, Blitz, Rapid, and Daily games with a style as sharp as his name suggests. With an ever-ambitious climb in ratings, he went from a modest Blitz rating of 848 in 2022 to a respectable 1021 by 2025 while juggling around a thousand games each year—because who needs sleep when you can have pawns and knights?

Playing Style and Strengths

Jonathan’s games are a rollercoaster of tactical thrills. His comeback rate of nearly 82% is like that one friend who insists on turning every pizza night into a competitive eating contest—and somehow always wins. Add a perfect 100% win rate after losing a piece, and you get a player who never gives up, even if life (or chess) knocks a piece off the board.

Known to dive deep into the endgame with a 66.8% frequency, Jonathan often drags his opponents into long, grueling battles lasting an average of 65 moves per win. The psychological endurance is real, as is his somewhat cheeky early resignation rate of 4.1% — but hey, nobody’s perfect.

Opening Repertoire: A Mix of Tradition and Surprise

Jonathan is no one-trick pony. He flexes his knowledge of openings ranging from the Modern Defense (with nearly 50% win rate in Blitz) to the Accelerated London System (boasting an impressive 52%+ win rate in Bullet). The Reti Kingside Fianchetto Variation seems to be his secret weapon, rocking over 56% wins in Blitz and Bullet alike.

Competitive Record

With over 3,000 Blitz games played between 2023 and 2024 alone, Jonathan's win-loss record teeters on the razor’s edge with 1622 wins and 1620 losses, proving every match is a fight to the last pawn. His Bullet stats show no mercy either: over 1,000 wins with roughly the same number of losses, sprinkled with a handful of draws.

Quirks & Fun Facts

• His best time to flex those chess muscles? Check the early morning hour of 6 AM with a winning rate around 59%—clearly a morning coffee chess warrior.
• Among his toughest opponents, some enemies boast a perfect 100% win rate against him, but hey, everyone has a nemesis.
• Jonathan’s tilt factor is 12, suggesting he might occasionally channel a little salt, but with his resilience, he bounces back better than a yo-yo.
• Playing White feels just a touch luckier—he wins 50.5% of those games, compared to 47.9% as Black. Guess even MrSHARP2 enjoys being the first mover!

In the ever-evolving world of online chess, Jonathan Sharp is a determined battler with a love for both the thrill of quick tactical fights and the agony (and beauty) of the long endgame grind.
