Paweł Jędraszek - The Bullet Maestro

Meet Paweł Jędraszek, known in the chess world as JedraszekP, a tactician who dances at the speed of light on 64 squares. With a peak bullet rating of an eye-watering 2864 achieved in March 2023, Paweł proves that lightning reflexes and razor-sharp calculation are his bread and butter.

Starting from humble beginnings around 2018 with ratings just shy of 1400 in bullet chess, Paweł quickly stormed the ranks, conquering the chaotic fast-paced games where time ticks down mercilessly. His blitz and rapid credentials are equally impressive, boasting peak ratings of 2721 and 2475 respectively, making him a well-rounded threat in all time controls.

Known for his love of the Sicilian Defense (especially the Open Najdorf variations) and the Kings Indian Attack, Paweł combines classic opening theory with fierce aggression. His Blitz win rate of over 70% on Sicilian lines is a testament to his mastery. In bullet, he favors the nimble Reti Opening and sharp variations of the Kings Indian Attack, weaving subtle positional play with stabbing tactical blows.

Paweł’s style is defined by patience and precision; he averages about 69 moves per win, showing he plays the long game when necessary, and his endgame skills are a force to be reckoned with, participating in endgames in nearly 73% of his games. And with a comeback rate of over 74%, he’s not one to throw in the towel easily. Even after losing material, Paweł keeps calm and continues to fight—though if he does decide to resign early, it's only about 13% of the time, because why resign when there are still pawns to promote?

Off the board, he might chuckle at his own losses, but on the board, he famously tilts only around 19% of the time (some say that’s just his poker face failing). His best time to play? The wee hours of 2 AM—clearly when his brain is dialed into the chess force field.

Recent Battles

His latest triumph in January 2025 was a resignation win after a strategic queen-side squeeze using the Queen’s Pawn Opening (Chigorin Variation). Another recent masterpiece was a checkmate victory delivered in under 14 moves with a clever Reti Opening approach in February of the same year. When he loses, it’s usually on the clock—because even champions sometimes get caught watching an opposing knight gallivant rather than their timer.
