Jorge Leal - The National Master with a Secret Opening

Meet Jorge Leal, aka Academia3 in the chess realms, a National Master who has conquered the board with a style as mysterious as his favorite opening, which remains delightfully Top Secret. Known for a sharp tactical mind and a knack for comebacks, Jorge’s games are often rollercoasters with an impressive 88% comeback rate — because giving up is just not in his vocabulary.

Whether blitzing at a blistering pace or bulleting his way through rapid-fire matches, Jorge boasts a solid performance in 2025 with a peak blitz rating of 2306 and bullet at 2110. His ability to win after losing a piece is perfect (yes, 100% win rate!), making him the ultimate example of turning the tables.

With a longest winning streak of 13 games, Jorge channels the patience of a saint (average moves per win: nearly 72) and doesn’t shy from the endgame battlefield, engaging in them almost 79% of the time. His playstyle suggests he’s like a storm brewing quietly before unleashing fury — early resignations are rare (1.1%), because every pawn and piece matters until the last second of ticking clocks.

But don’t let the seriousness fool you; Jorge’s win rates vary hilariously by day and hour — peak performance seems to kick in most reliably on Mondays (65%) and during the 3 PM hour (nearly 69%). Clearly, he’s a weekday warrior who sometimes needs a coffee break or two around 9 AM (0% win rate there — oops!).

Opponents beware: he’s crushed scores of challengers multiple times, notably maintaining perfect records against many users, whereas against others, frustration levels rise (looking at you, gm20252 and najdorf19 with 0% win rate). It’s this unpredictability and resilience that make Jorge Leal a truly fascinating player, both on the board and off.

In short, Jorge Leal is the kind of chess player who keeps you guessing — a national master with a playful streak and an iron will to snatch victory from the jaws of defeat (or at least, from losing a knight or two).
