Chess Profile: pepingo17 (AKA J S)

Meet pepingo17, a rapid chess enthusiast whose games are a rollercoaster of tactical comebacks, unexpected checkmates, and casual early resignations sprinkled in for dramatic effect.

Rating & Performance

J S has been climbing the rapid rating ladder steadily, peaking at a respectable 672 in May 2025. With an average rapid rating settling comfortably around 600-ish, pepingo17’s rapid games have seen 230 wins, 201 losses, and a humble 30 draws—because sometimes, the board just can’t decide.

Playing Style

Known for an endgame frequency of about 62%, pepingo17 loves long fights that test patience more than reflexes. With an average of 63 moves per win, and even more in losses, these games aren’t sprints—they’re marathons. Black pieces aren't a disadvantage either; a nearly even split in win rates shows this player handles the dark squares just as well.

Beware the early resignation rate of 5.5%—when the going gets tough, pepingo17 knows when to throw in the towel before the opponent even suspects it. Also, a comeback rate of almost 68% means giving up early is rare and exciting twists are frequent!

Favorite Openings

• Top Secret: 442 games, 50% win rate — a classic cloak-and-dagger approach.
• Richter Veresov Attack: 75% win rate — because why not surprise your opponent with an unexpected bash?
• Queen’s Pawn Opening, Chigorin Variation: 100% win rate (albeit only 2 games) — when pepingo17 wants to flex.
• Scandinavian Defense: a mixed bag, but still fighting hard with over 66% wins.

Psychology & Quirks

With a tilt factor of 9, pepingo17 shows a commendable calm under pressure (or at least tries to). The best hour to face the chessboard? 8 AM sharp — apparently, that’s when the brain is freshest (and the coffee is strongest).

Notoriously quirky are the win rates by hour — 100% unchallenged success at 8 AM and a respectable 66.67% at 16:00. Night owls? Maybe not so much.

Recent Adventures

Just a few days ago, at the humble hour of 01:16 UTC on May 4th, pepingo17 dazzled opponents with a brilliant victory using the Queen’s Pawn Opening, Chigorin Variation, ending with the opponent’s resignation after a cascade of strategic blows.

Of course, not every battle was won—just hours earlier, against arabacimert, pepingo17 faced a checkmate that reminds us all: even the best chess warriors bow occasionally.

Summary

pepingo17, a cunning rapid player whose games combine patience, tactical flair, and occasional graceful surrenders. If you meet them online, expect long battles, sudden twists, and a surprisingly solid record at dawn. And if you see those early resignations? Consider it a master-level bluff... or maybe just saving energy for the next thrilling game.
