Jackeline Salcedo

Woman FIDE Master & Chess Connoisseur

Meet Jackeline Salcedo, known in the chess world by the formidable username jackechess. A Woman FIDE Master who has navigated the 64 squares with both grace and grit, Jackeline is a player who mixes strategic insight with a dash of theatrical flair—because why just win when you can dazzle?

Jackeline’s chess journey is a rollercoaster of tactical fireworks and stamina-testing marathons. With a peak blitz rating of 2179 achieved in August 2019, she has blitzed through opponents faster than you can say "checkmate!" Her bullet best clocks in at a cool 2013, proving she's just as comfortable in lightning-fast battles where every millisecond counts.

Not to be outdone, her rapid rating soared to an impressive 2126 in 2021, showcasing versatility across all game formats. And speaking of versatility, Jackeline’s favorite opening remains a tightly guarded secret—because who needs to give away their battle plans? But let’s just say she’s got a 54%+ win rate on it, making it as mysterious as her opening ceremonies.

Despite facing a gauntlet of opponents—like the notorious tonnystarkchess and clever rendiros—Jackeline’s resilience shines through with epic comeback rates and tactical wizardry. She sports a longest winning streak of 11 games, proving she can put the hammer down when it counts. Of course, even chess warriors face setbacks; Jackeline’s longest losing streak was a humble 6, but she bounces back quicker than a knight from a fork.

Fun fact: her best time of day to play is at 1 AM—perhaps where silence is golden and every pawn push echoes like a symphony. With an early resignation rate under 2%, she’s got nerves of steel and a fighting spirit to match.

A Glimpse at Recent Battles

  • Latest Win: A thrilling checkmate victory on April 25, 2021, in a National Amateur Sub2300 tournament, where she outmaneuvered richy150391 using the English Opening: Agincourt Defense. Follow her triumph here.
  • Latest Loss: Even champions stumble. On February 23, 2023, Jackeline faltered against chinaman824, succumbing on time in a tense English Opening match. The game is available here.

With a love for endgames—occurring in over 77% of her games—and an average of around 72 moves per game, Jackeline prefers battles that are as long as a Netflix series, but with fewer commercial breaks. Whether she's playing white or black, her winning chances hover near 50-58%, demonstrating an unwavering fighting spirit.

Jackeline Salcedo is not just a chess player; she’s a strategist, a tactician, and sometimes a sleep-deprived midnight checkmating machine. The queen on the board, and the queen of cool moves.

Hi Jackeline – personalised post-tournament review

What you’re already doing well ✅

  • Ambitious openings, clear plans: You consistently steer the game into positions you understand (English as White, French structures & …e6 set-ups as Black). That gives you an early comfort zone and often a time advantage on the clock.
  • Killer instinct once the initiative is yours: When you seize the attack you rarely let go; the win vs. richy150391 shows a smooth conversion from 17…Nh4 through to the mating net (see diagram).
  • Tactical eye: Forks, deflections and over-loads appear naturally in your games (e.g., 12.Nxe6!, 24.Ne7+! vs. arcindo2021). You spot them quickly – a real strength for 10-minute chess.

Main improvement themes 📚

1. Time management & endgames • In the loss to chinaman824 you were still better but flagged. Try the “40-20-20 rule”: spend 40 % of your time on the opening & early middlegame, 20 % on the critical middlegame pivot, and keep 20–30 % for the ending. • Practise “easy-move mode” once queens are off: push passed pawns, centralise king, activate rook – even if moves aren’t computer-best they keep the clock healthy. 2. King safety in double-edged lines • Several defeats (e.g., vs. hikaruchija, Colombiano07) started with castling late and advancing f- & h-pawns too early. Adopt a quick mental safety check before every pawn move: “Does this create new dark-square/ light-square holes around my king?” • Study 10 annotated games of the French Defence by Uhlmann; note how he only pushes f-pawn when it is 100 % justified. 3. Handling the opponent’s counterplay • After you win material you sometimes allow counter-chances (see 33…Qd5+ in your win vs. richy150391). Train with the “Prophylaxis Pause” – before every move ask “What is my opponent’s next threat?” (Prophylaxis). 4. Conversion technique with material advantage • In multiple games a +3 evaluation still required tactical precision to finish. Practise the two-step method: (a) simplify – exchange pieces, not pawns; (b) coordinate – place rooks behind passed pawns, centralise king.

Opening micro-advice ⚔️

ColourKeepTweak
WhiteEnglish with early e4-d4 (scoring 70 %)Add an anti-…c6/…d5 plan: consider 3.g3 lines to dodge the Caro/Slav set-ups that troubled you.
BlackFrench vs. 1.e4 – you know the structures.Versus 1.d4, test the Triangle Slav; the Modern & Dutch setups gave up too many dark squares.

Suggested training ladder 🪜

  1. Weekly: 100 rated puzzles + 5 puzzle rushes – but review every failure with the board, not just the solution.
  2. Bi-weekly: Play one 15 | 10 game without opening book, annotate it yourself, then check with engine.
  3. Monthly: Endgame focus – pick one chapter from Silman’s book and drill the positions vs. computer until you win under 3 minutes.
