Jason Morefield (ChessicallyInclined)

FIDE Master & Online Chess Streamer Extraordinaire

Jason Morefield, better known to the internet chess crowd as ChessicallyInclined, has carved out a reputation not only as a formidable FIDE Master but also as a lively chess streamer who can make even a hanging pawn look entertaining. With a peak bullet rating flirting near the 3000 mark (an impressive 2974, to be precise, achieved in 2022), and a blitz peak rating soaring above 2800 in 2024, Jason has proven that speed and precision can perfectly coexist — all while chatting with fans and dodging internet trolls simultaneously.

Born to outwit kings and queens, Jason has a playing style marked by a blend of tactical sharpness and resilience. With a comeback rate above 81%, this maestro never gives up, making every game a thrilling rollercoaster ride. Prefer endings that last? Jason averages over 70 moves per win, suggesting a deep love for complex battles that test patience as much as skill.

When not streaming and rattling off moves faster than most can blink, Jason enjoys dissecting openings. Favorites include the Pirc Defense main line in blitz and the Kings Pawn Opening in rapid — with respectably strong win rates. And while nimzo-indian aficionados might cringe at Jason’s 44% win rate there, it only fuels the fire to improve, no doubt.

Off the 64 squares, Jason is known for a healthy balance of humor and humility, often joking that the only thing quicker than his bullet moves is his tendency to prematurely resign — though stats say early resignation tops only about 1.4% of games, so maybe it’s just a clever ruse.

Notable Recent Battles

In May 2025, Jason secured a sharp victory against PracticeMakesOK in a Queens Gambit Accepted Old Variation, winning on time after a marathon 57 moves. Just hours later, a dramatic tussle in the English Opening Neo-Catalan Defense ended with a win on time for Jason as well—streaming excitement guaranteed.

Despite a few losses sneaking in, Jason's attitude remains quizical and enthusiastic, much like his username suggests. Whether it’s crushing tactics, or hosting streams filled with banter and brilliant ideas, Jason Morefield continues to be a remarkable figure blending titled chess mastery with engaging entertainment.

Fun fact: According to his statistics, the best time to challenge Jason is around 8 AM, but good luck trying to catch him off guard—he's got a tilt factor of only 18, which means it takes more than one dirty trick to ruffle those chess feathers.

Overview of your blitz play

Jason, your blitz games show a strong willingness to fight for dynamic, tactical chances and you often create concrete attacking ideas. Your results indicate you can convert initiative into decisive tactics, especially when you spot forcing moves and keep the pressure on your opponent. At the same time, there are moments where time pressure and over-ambitious lines lead to miscalculations or risky trades. A sharper, more consistent opening plan and a focused post‑game review will help you translate your sharp instincts into steadier, repeatable performance in blitz.

Your strengths in blitz

  • Strong tactical awareness and willingness to pursue concrete combinations.
  • Ability to convert initiative into material and mating threats when the position allows.
  • Resilience in complex, unclear positions and a preference for active piece play.
  • Comfortable with aggressive plans that keep opponents under pressure in the short time control.
  • Time management: balance time across the opening, middlegame, and critical tactical junctures to avoid rushed decisions late in the game.
  • Opening depth: your blitz openings are broad. consolidating a compact, repeatable repertoire will reduce early mistakes and help you reach confident middlegames more often.
  • Calculation discipline: in sharp positions, compare 2–3 candidate moves systematically and verify their consequences to avoid single-line overreach.
  • Endgame technique: improve conversion in simplified positions, especially rook endings or minor-piece endings, so you can finish games cleanly when pressure builds.
  • Post‑game review habit: develop a quick, actionable analysis routine after each blitz game to identify the top 2–3 mistakes and implement a concrete fix.
  • Week 1: Build a compact opening repertoire. Choose 2 lines for White (for example, a simple 1.e4 line such as the Italian/Ruy Lopez family and a conservative 1.d4 line) and 2 Black responses (such as 1...e5 and 1...d5 or 1...c5). Memorize the typical middlegame plans and common pawn structures arising from these lines.
  • Week 2: Practice time budgeting. During blitz practice, allocate a structured time split (e.g., first 15 moves on a plan and development, then allocate time for critical tactical moments). Review any position where you ran low on time and note where you could have chosen a simpler plan.
  • Week 3: Tactics and pattern recognition. Do 15–20 minutes of daily tactical puzzles focused on motifs that appear in your chosen openings (forks, pins, discovered attacks, back-rank threats). Apply these motifs in your live games when relevant.
  • Week 4: Endgame sharpening. Study a few rook endings and basic king–opposition endgames. Practice converting small advantages (a passer, a knight vs. bishop) in quick drills and in short blitz games.
  • Opening recommendations: adopt a tight, repeatable set to reduce early trouble. For White, try 1.e4 with a straightforward Italian/Ruy Lopez path or 1.d4 with a solid Queen's Pawn setup. For Black, respond to 1.e4 with 1...e5 (Italian/Scotch ideas) or 1...c5 (Sicilian) as your second option, and to 1.d4 with 1...d5 or 1...Nf6 (Indian setups) depending on your mood and style.
  • Endgames: prioritize simple conversions. Practice rook endings and king activity in minor-piece endings, and aim to simplify only when you have a clear structural or material edge.
  • After each blitz game, write down the two biggest mistakes you made and one positive takeaway.
  • Ask: Was there a point where you could have increased pressure more cleanly or exchanged into a better endgame?
  • Revisit the game later in a short session and test the alternative line you identified as a fix.

Would you like me to tailor a one-page, color-coded training plan that you can follow week-by-week? I can also assemble a short, focused repertoire sheet for your two preferred colors and provide quick post-game prompts to accelerate your improvements in blitz.
