Jonas Kampmann - The Relentless Strategist (aka TRoyoyo)
Jonas Kampmann, known in chess circles by his username TRoyoyo, is a determined player who has journeyed through the ranks with countless battles fought on the digital battlefield of Chess.com. With a peak bullet rating of 1035 in March 2021 and a blitz apex at 1026 in late 2024, Jonas dances on the edges of the 1000+ club, a feat that commands respect and occasional envy.
His preferred form? Rapid chess, where Jonas's gritty determination shines brightest. Despite a roller-coaster rating that has dipped and climbed, playing over 200 rapid games with a near 46% win rate in unknown openings shows his love for unpredictability—or perhaps just an affectionate chaos in his playstyle.
Jonas has a knack for comebacks, boasting a remarkable 73% comeback rate after setbacks, proving he's not one to throw in the towel easily. His “tilt factor” stands at 6, so while he might occasionally channel a bit of frustration, it’s nowhere near legendary meltdown levels. His best time to strike? 6:00 AM — the hour when most people consider breakfast, Jonas considers checkmate.
Opening choices are a mixed bag, but the Top Secret opening serves him well in blitz with a strong 60% win rate. Perhaps it’s secret because even Jonas isn’t quite sure what happens!
Jonas's games are long affairs averaging around 64 moves per win, suggesting he's the kind who prefers endurance over blitzkrieg. Whether it’s grinding out an endgame or plowing through, his preference for drawn-out battles has earned him a reputation as a tenacious opponent.
