The Many Games of YOAJM
YOAJM is not a casual player. With more than 24,000 recorded games, YOAJM has spent enough hours on the virtual board to qualify as a full time job, a side hustle, and a retirement plan. While the blitz clock is the preferred playground, the greatest legend lives in bullet, where YOAJM has played over 22,000 games and turned time pressure into a personality trait.
A Speed Demon's Tale
YOAJM's blitz rating climbed steadily for years, peaking at an impressive 2725 (2019-02-03) in early 2019. The bullet rating touched a jaw dropping 2900 (2018-11-23) in November 2018, before a dramatic collapse to triple digits in the very same month. It takes a special kind of courage to reach the summit and then plummet back to earth before the holiday decorations even go up. The rebound that followed shows a player who simply refuses to stay down.
Rivals and Revenge
Every warrior needs a worthy foe. For YOAJM, that foe is Khazar Babazada, the most faced opponent with 1,079 encounters. YOAJM holds a commanding 679 to 353 edge in that rivalry, proving that familiarity breeds confidence. The relationship with Elie Milikow is more like siblings fighting over the remote: 915 games, almost perfectly split. Against Manu David, however, the story turns tragic, with 446 losses in 656 games. Even the best have a nemesis.
Opening Almanac
YOAJM's repertoire is a beautiful mess. The Caro-Kann Defense is a trusted shield, especially in daily games where it delivers a 68% win rate. The French Defense appears often and produces mixed emotions, while the Amar Gambit brings glorious chaos to the bullet board. Why play a normal move when a bizarre one is available?
A taste of the Caro-Kann line YOAJM loves to play with the white pieces.
Heart of a Comeback
YOAJM nearly never resigns, with an early resignation rate below 3%. That stubbornness pays off: the comeback rate after falling behind sits at an absurd 86.36%, and YOAJM wins nearly half of games after losing a piece. The longest winning streak reached 28 games, while the longest losing streak hit 46, a roller coaster that would break most players. The tilt factor sits at a moderate 46, which explains why the best time to face YOAJM is never, especially not at 4 AM, when the comeback engine runs hottest.
