Jadranko Plenca (aka Jadro9) - International Master
Jadranko Plenca, famously known in the chess circles as Jadro9, is an International Master who has been quietly sneaking into opponents' minds and leaving them puzzled since 2017. With a blitz rating that soared from a humble 1574 straight up to a jaw-dropping 2676 by 2025, Jadranko shows that patience and persistence in chess is a match-winning combo (and maybe a little caffeine).
Known for his relentless endgame prowess (he dives into endgames nearly 79% of the time!), Jadranko plays games that average over 70 moves—clearly not one to be rushed or outpaced. If your pieces disappear from the board unexpectedly, watch out: this player boasts a 100% win rate after losing a piece. That's not just a comeback; that's a chess magic trick.
Jadranko’s winning streaks have hit impressive peaks—never backing down until he reaches 14 consecutive wins. His blitz style is affectionately called "Top Secret" by his opponents, perhaps because they never see his moves coming. With a tilt factor of just 10, Jadranko manages to keep calm even when things heat up, and his opponents are more likely to fall victim to his steady, analytical approach than to rash moves.
Jadranko's favorite hours seem to be evening matches, often shining brightest around 6 PM with nearly 60% win rates, making nighttime the perfect setting for some calculated checkmates. Whether playing white or black, victory is well within reach with win rates hovering around 50% or higher.
Off the board, Jadranko might just be your average chess enthusiast, but the moment the clock ticks, a fierce competitor emerges who can turn any losing position into a triumph. Jadro9 doesn't just play chess; he dances with it — and wins the dance-off more often than not.
