Jorge A González Rodríguez (aka Jordigon)
International Master - Tactical Maestro Extraordinaire
Jorge A González Rodríguez, affectionately known in the chess world as Jordigon, is no ordinary player. With the distinguished title of International Master bestowed by FIDE, Jorge has proven time and again that the 64 squares are his personal playground.
Specializing in blitz chess, Jordigon’s ratings have boldly danced between a solid 1800s and a breathtaking peak of 2497 in May 2025 — a rating that would make even the boldest grandmasters pause and reconsider their move. Whether it’s rapid-fire blitz or measured rapid games, Jorge plays with razor-sharp intuition and a penchant for comebacks, boasting a 79.67% comeback rate after setbacks, illustrating the spirit of a chess warrior who never gives up easily.
A versatile stylist, Jorge commands the board with an average of around 75 moves per win, showing a deep strategic mindset that relishes long battles and complex endgames (with an impressive 84% endgame frequency). However, every now and then, patience wears thin — with an early resignation rate that’s as low as his one-sided loss rate, proving Jorge isn’t easily discouraged.
Opening repertoire? Let’s just say Jorge’s secret sauce lies in the mysterious “Top Secret” opening repertoire, with a win rate over 56%. Nimzowitsch-Larsen Attack variations are favored weapons in his arsenal, each with winning ratios north of 58%. And for fans of the French Defense, Jorge’s games often feature the Tarrasch Closed variation, where he once bamboozled an opponent by winning on time — “Tick-tock, your time’s up!”
When does Jorge play best? Apparently, playing in the wee hours around 5 AM can jolt his brain into ninja mode — and he clocks impressive win rates during daylight and evening hours alike. His psychological resilience shows in a modest tilt factor of 9, suggesting that even in tough moments, Jorge keeps a cool head and a sly grin.
“Chess is not just a game; it’s an art, a battle, and sometimes a mad sprint against the clock.” – Jorge “Jordigon” A González Rodríguez
Recent Chess Dramas
Jordigon’s recent adventures include some thrilling wins such as:
- Victory on time using the French Defense Tarrasch Closed — perfectly timed, as if playing chess and a stopwatch simultaneously.

Even the best stumble, with losses that fuel his unstoppable comeback spirit, often learned from tough Nimzowitsch-Larsen modern variations against well-prepared foes.
Off the board, you might find Jorge analyzing games with a twinkle of humor, joking that chess is “the only place where losing your queen is still a reason to celebrate… because it sets up a killer combo next move!”
With years of experience, thousands of blitz games, and a growing legend behind the name, Jorge A González Rodríguez remains a player to watch, challenge, and enjoy watching – because with Jordigon, every game is a story worth telling.
