Beginning with a promising spark in late 2022, Tjuniorr has faced the highs and lows of rating battles — from a blitz peak of 983 to the persistent grind around the 300-400 range. But don't let the numbers fool you; this player has mastered the art of bouncing back, boasting an impressive 79.37% comeback rate after going down in material.

Their style? A patient strategist who averages about 60 moves per game (win or lose), with an endgame frequency nearing 63%. When playing Black, Tjuniorr snatches victory slightly more often (47.31%) than as White (45.6%), possibly enjoying the sly satisfaction that comes from turning the tables. And an opponent who underestimates Tjuniorr's tactical awareness is in for a surprise, especially since Tjuniorr thrives best around 4 PM, when their win rate spikes near 60%.
