Jens E Ingebretsen (jens1102)
International Master
Meet Jens E Ingebretsen, a chess gladiator with an intellect sharp enough to slice through defenses and a title to prove it: International Master, bestowed by FIDE. Jens’s journey through the ranks isn’t just about lofty titles and fancy ratings—though they’ve flirted with a blitz peak rating of 2855, which is nothing short of wizardry—it’s about resilience, grit, and a stubborn refusal to quit.
Jens has amassed thousands of games across blitz, bullet, rapid, and daily formats, proving their versatility. Their blitz games alone number over 12,000 with a nearly 50% win rate, showing a masterful balance of aggression and caution. They handle the clock like a caffeinated magician, boasting a longest winning streak of 19 games and always ready to strike back with an 86% comeback rate after a setback.
When not calculating 15 moves deep or sacrificing a knight into the abyss, Jens is a student of openings (and secret recipes, apparently), favoring a Top Secret repertoire in blitz and bullet. They have a soft spot for the Catalan Opening too—achieving a flawless 100% win rate in those rare appearances with it.
Jens's style is that of tenacity: an average game winning in nearly 80 moves and losses stretching to over 83 moves, showing a fierce battle until the bitter end. Early resignations are few and far between (only 3.4%), which is a polite way of saying Jens likes to fight till the checkmate or timeout.
Their psychological resilience is legendary—with a tilt factor far lower than many mere mortals, Jens excels especially during the early morning hours. Ask anyone: the best time to catch Jens at the board is 6 AM, a sacred hour when the chess gods align and blunders are few.
You can witness Jens’s strategic prowess in their recent games, including a captivating victory using the Reti Opening, where subtle positional play forced their opponent into resignation, and tactical fireworks sealed a win in a Pirc Defense battle.
Off the board, Jens's impressive record against a wide variety of opponents demonstrates adaptability, and a near 50% win rate against all comers, but beware—the score against some opponents can be as harsh as a well-placed pawn fork!
In short, Jens E Ingebretsen isn’t just a player—they are a relentless calculated storm on 64 squares, a true connoisseur of the game’s subtle and fierce beauty, and undoubtedly, a force to be reckoned with in the chess world.
