Jérôme Bert — aka JejeLasker

Meet Jérôme Bert, a chess enthusiast who’s been fiercely battling on the 64 squares for years with the cunning of a dragon and the patience of a monk. Known online as JejeLasker, Jérôme’s journey through the chess ranks reads like a rollercoaster—filled with thrilling climb-ups, strategic maneuvers, and the occasional spectacular wipeout, all in good spirit and immense passion for the game.

Rating & Performance Highlights

Jérôme’s peak blitz rating reached a commendable 2043 in August 2019, proving he’s no pawn when it comes to lightning-fast calculations. His rapid adventures might be brief, topping out at 1374, but those small bursts pack a punch. And if you prefer the daily slow-burn strategy, his highest daily rating touches 1303.

Over the years, Jérôme has maintained a solid average blitz rating around the 1900s, showcasing consistency despite intense competition. His current winning streak may be humble at three games, but don’t let that fool you—his longest winning streak is an impressive 15 games (because even chess legends have glorious days!).

Opening Moves & Strategies

Jérôme favors the fierce battlegrounds of the Sicilian Defense in various spicy flavors like the Hyperaccelerated Dragon and the Open Scheveningen Sozin Attack, skillfully wielding these lines with a win rate hovering just above 53%. Not one to shy from complexity, he also dabbles with the King's Indian Defense and Caro Kann's Accelerated Panov, proving versatility is his middle name.

Playing Style & Psychology

With an early resignation rate at a modest 0.5%, Jérôme generally fights until the checkmate or inevitable demise (in chess terms, of course). His games tend to stretch to about 67 moves when winning, showing he’s comfortable with long, strategic battles. And if life throws him a curveball, his notable comeback rate of 82.5% lets opponents know Jérôme doesn’t quit—even after losing a piece.

Playing under pressure? Jérôme’s tilt factor is relatively low at 12, indicating he keeps his cool when the stakes are high. Interestingly, his best time of day to completely dominate the board is the mysterious early morning hour of 2 AM. Who knew chess geniuses moonlighted so well!
