Jow Frakes: The Chess Odyssey

Meet Jow Frakes, a chess adventurer whose journey through the 64 squares is nothing short of heroic – or comically bittersweet. Starting from a solid daily rating of 1146 back in 2017, Jow has seen the peaks and valleys of chess performance like a rollercoaster designed by a grandmaster with a sense of humor.

Rating Rollercoaster

Jow's rapid rating tells a tale of tenacity: from a max of 1026 in 2021, dipping to a minimum of 593 in 2025, with a current rating hovering around 767. His average rapid rating over recent years surprisingly resembles a persistent middleweight contender, never quite knocking out the heavyweights but never going down for the count either.

In blitz, Jow flashes moments of brilliance with a peak rating of 1200, though sometimes the fast pace turns the heat on too much, resulting in some quick losses. Bullet chess? Jow’s speed is a work in progress, but hey, even the fastest have to start somewhere!

Daily chess is Jow's steady ship, maintaining ratings around the 1100 mark, proving that slow and steady sometimes wins... or at least doesn't lose embarrassingly.

Record & Rivalries

With over 300 wins in rapid chess and a record balanced almost evenly with losses, Jow is clearly in the trenches of competitive play. With a longest winning streak of 11 games, there was definitely a period when the chess gods smiled upon him – before reality (and opponents) set back in.

Jow's domain includes a secret opening approach that's top classified, wielded in 645 rapid games with an almost 48% win rate. Not too shabby for a strategy shrouded in mystery!

Rivals come and go, but Jow has some memorable moments: he’s undefeated against “itsme249” and has no mercy for some opponents with perfect win rates, yet also has those pesky adversaries who seem to have found his kryptonite.

Playing Style & Psychology

Jow’s chess style is a paradox: an average of 60 moves per win means he likes a good long battle, while almost 50 moves per loss suggests he’s not one to quit early; though a 7% early resignation rate hints at rare moments of soul-crushing defeat.

Remarkably, when Jow loses a piece, he fights back with a 100% win rate after such setbacks—if only real life gave second chances like that!

Warning to opponents: Jow’s tilt factor is just 7%, so don’t expect emotional overload drama—he stays fairly calm, even when the boards go awry.

When to Play Jow

If you want to face Jow at his best, try catching him on a Saturday or Monday—his win rate over 50% on those days means he might be caffeinated and ready. Puzzle timing? Jow is most dangerous starting late afternoon until around 9 PM, with some surprisingly sharp play around 6 to 8 PM and even a 75% win rate around 8 and 9 AM. Early birds and night owls, take note!

Final Thoughts

Jow Frakes is not just a player, but a storyteller of the chessboard: a blend of persistence, strategy, and the occasional blitzed-out bullet disaster. Whether crafting long battles or pulling off miraculous comebacks, his chess journey is an inspiring page-turner sprinkled with humor and heart.
