James P Jackson - International Master
Known online as JammyDodger91, James P Jackson is not your average chess player. With the esteemed title of International Master bestowed by FIDE, James has navigated the complex battlefield of 64 squares with a blend of strategic depth and unexpected flair.
Rating Peaks and Valleys
Starting from humble beginnings in 2011 with blitz ratings around 2165, James steadily scaled the ranks, peaking impressively at a blitz rating of 2504 in 2022. His rapid games tell a story of perseverance, jumping from 1095 in 2012 to a sharp 2396 by 2023—proof that taking time seriously works.
Playing Style
James is a patient strategist, averaging over 72 moves per game regardless of win or loss—because who said chess has to be quick and dirty? With an eye for endgames almost 80% of the time, he turns what could be a snooze-fest for some into a tactical thriller. His White and Black win rates, 55.87% and 52.68% respectively, show he’s equally comfortable playing both sides of the board.
Tactical Wizardry & Psychological Quirks
James’s comeback rate is an astonishing 89.49%, making him the comeback kid of the chess world. Lose a piece against him? Fear not! His win rate after losing material is a flawless 100%, reminding us that sometimes it’s not about what you lose, but how dramatically you win. Just beware the tilt factor of 9—buy him a coffee before an intense session, or risk watching him grumble at non-existent blunders.
Online Battles & Opponents
With thousands of blitz games (over 3000+) logged, James has faced a rogues’ gallery of opponents. Some have left victorious, but many more have learned what it means to tango with an IM. His longest winning streak of 22 games once made opponents consider a career change to Checkers.
Off the Board
When not plotting checkmates or dissecting opening mysteries (shrouded forever in secrecy), James is perhaps contemplating his next pseudonym or the inevitable rematch against blitzking1729, his nemesis with a win rate of 0% against James—ouch.
In all, James P Jackson is a masterful combination of tenacity, humor, and exceptional chess prowess. A true chess warrior with a sprinkle of jammy luck—hence the name!
