. His peak in the format is an imposing 2497 (2025-05-23), a number achieved after years of relentless volume and an unbreakable appetite for competition.The Nimzo-Larsen Devotee
Ask what defines Jordigon and the answer begins with 1.b3. He is one of the most devoted high-level practitioners of the Nimzo-Larsen Attack, playing it more than 17,000 times as White and scoring close to 60 percent. His opponents know what is coming; stopping it is another matter.
As Black, he is equally well armed. The French Defense appears thousands of times in his database, and he cycles through the Benoni Defense and the Döry Defense to keep rivals off balance. The opening breakdown chart shows his diverse but focused toolbox:
Rivalries That Define a Career
No story about Jordigon is complete without mentioning his two most recurring battlefield companions. He has crossed swords with Trainingbg81 in 245 blitz showdowns, a rivalry comfortably in his favor at 122 wins, 102 losses, and 21 draws. When these two meet, the arena feels like an endless playoff.

He has a clear psychological edge against lower-rated opposition, winning 63 percent of those games, while still keeping his head against higher-rated players with a 33 percent win rate. With an early resignation rate of only 32 percent, he makes opponents prove they can finish the job.
