Jack LeBlanc: The Artful Dodger of the Chessboard
Meet Jack LeBlanc, or as the online realm knows him, jackleb24 — a chess player whose journey is less about grandmaster glory and more about charming resilience and quirky triumphs. Starting off with a rapid rating of 749 in 2021, Jack’s climb through the ranks has been a rollercoaster ride filled with surprising comebacks, tactical mischief, and the occasional dramatic resignation (he does bow out early about 8.4% of the time, but who’s counting?).
Jack’s playing style is a blend of patience and persistence: with an average of 48 moves per win and a slightly longer 51 moves per loss, he likes a good tussle before either shaking hands or hoping for the next blunder from his opponent. His endgame appetite is quite notable, featuring in roughly 45% of his matches, proving he’s no stranger to the final battlefield.
When Jack loses a piece, watch out — his win rate after losing material is a staggering 100%, showcasing a fighter’s heart and an uncanny ability to turn tables. His comeback rate is just over 54%, confirming that Jack doesn't like to give up, even when the chips are down.
Over the years, Jack has played 600 rapid games with a near 49% win rate, some 322 blitz matches where his winning smile flashes 44%, and a handful of bullet games where he topples opponents over half the time (56.25% for the speed demons out there). Daily chess in 2025 saw him hitting a max of 1200, reminding us that every day is a new battle on the 64 squares.
Jack’s opponents seem to be a mixed bag: while some like moraesfmo and dobolkuroo have felt the full brunt of his sword (100% win rate!), others like da_l3gendaryace and fefelambo88 remain his nemeses, stumping him at every turn with zero wins to show.
Fun fact: Jack shines brightest on Saturday afternoons and early mornings, boasting up to a 65.8% win rate around 6 AM — maybe coffee and chess are his secret weapons?
