Profile of Juraj (aka yerk333)

Meet Juraj, a charming rapid chess battler whose journey on the 64 squares has resembled an epic rollercoaster ride—full of surprising twists, occasional tumbles, and dazzling comebacks. Armed with a peak rapid rating of 1819 achieved back in January 2021, Juraj's chess career has demonstrated persistence wrapped in flair, proving that sometimes the knight wins even when the rating dips and the odds stack.

Career Highlights & Style

Juraj's games reveal a player who never gives up easily — with a staggering comeback rate of nearly 83%, he turns precarious positions into thrilling victories. His average game length shows a fondness for fighting through the endgame maze with an impressive 72.5% endgame frequency. Don't be fooled, though: while Juraj enjoys white pieces slightly more, winning 53% of those games, their black games hold a respectable 41.5% success rate.

This player exhibits a quirky side too: an early resignation rate of under 2% means Juraj fights to the bitter end, and a tilt factor of 10 suggests that sometimes emotions can sneakily affect his play in the heat of battle. But the true strategist shines at 2 PM, his unofficial 'golden hour', where the highest win rate can be found.
