About ThisIsJim85

Meet ThisIsJim85, a tenacious chess warrior whose rating journey could easily be mistaken for a heart-pounding thriller. Starting from humble beginnings in 2021 with a Blitz rating just shy of 1100, Jim has battled his way through the ranks—sometimes climbing steadily, other times taking detours that would make any chess coach sweat.

Specializing mostly in Blitz and Rapid formats, Jim boasts over 17,000 thrilling Blitz games under his belt, maintaining a razor-close struggle between wins and losses (6918 wins to 6855 losses). Bullet play tells a similar story, though with a slighter tilt towards a modest win rate. His Rapid games, while fewer, show his love for deeper, strategic duels, holding a respectable 52% win rate playing White and battling harder with Black.

But it’s not just about raw numbers. Jim’s style is a fascinating mix of endurance and resilience—with an average of nearly 70 moves per win in Blitz, he’s clearly not one to give up early (his early resignation rate is a mere 2.88%). He’s notorious for making stunning comebacks — his comeback rate sits at an impressive 83%, and when he loses a piece, his chances of turning the tables back to victory are an astonishing 99.87%! Talk about the ultimate underdog.

While peak ratings have danced between a Blitz high of 1453 in 2023 and a Bullet max of 1501, Jim’s current form might remind fans that chess, like life, has its ups and downs. 2024’s Bullet rating slump to the 600s might make you wonder if he spent too much time reminiscing over grandmaster games instead of fresh moves. Or maybe he was just saving his energy for next big comeback.

Known among opponents for his unpredictability, Jim’s encounter with “kristian123lt” is a mini-saga: 9 games battling back and forth, with some wins and losses trading places like heavyweight boxers.

Off the board, it’s rumored Jim’s psychological resilience is powered by a tilt factor of 13, meaning he’s human enough to get frustrated, but sane enough to not let it ruin a full evening dedicated to mastering his craft.

When does Jim peak? Well, he’s got a secret affinity for early morning battles (3 AM has a 52.17% win rate!), proving that some pawns move best with the dawn light—and maybe a fresh cup of coffee.

So whether you’re looking for a lightning-fast bullet blitz or a marathon rapid battle, ThisIsJim85 is your guy—willing to ride the rollercoaster of wins, losses, and draws with equal parts grit and humor. Checkmate? More like checkmate-and-move-on!
