Jorge Bittencourt - International Master Extraordinaire

Jorge Bittencourt is not just your average chess player; he is an International Master recognized by FIDE — a title earned by a warrior of the 64 squares who’s battled countless opponents and emerged victorious more times than we can count. With blitz and bullet ratings soaring as high as 2653 and 2269 respectively in 2024, Jorge's lightning-fast wit and strategic mind leave opponents scrambling for cover.

Born to stir chaos in the chess community, Jorge thrives in blitz and bullet formats, with a blitz win rate north of 61% over nearly 1700 games, and an impressive bullet win rate close to 57% across an astounding 4700+ games. His longest winning streak? A jaw-dropping 19 games. (We suspect he might have brewed some magical coffee during those matches!)

Never one to shy away from a challenge, Jorge exhibits remarkable resilience. Losing a piece? No problem — he bounces back with a 72.6% comeback success rate. His psychological fortitude is almost chess-superhuman, with a tilt factor of just 13 (because, yes, even pros sometimes feel the pressure).

When he isn’t dazzling with endgames, which occur in a hefty 77% of his matches, Jorge prefers to close out battles with a graceful resignation from his opponents—he’s recorded over 1800 wins via resignation, proving his tactics often encourage others to concede early and with dignity.

His opening repertoire is famously classified as “Top Secret” — quite fitting for a player whose moves often leave onlookers scratching their heads and whispering, "Wait, did he just see five moves ahead or what?" The Scandinavian Defense and Pirc Defense are among his trusted weapons, wielded masterfully in recent victories.

Off the board, Jorge is likely the only player who can boast a 100% win rate against opponents with nicknames like barbecuechicken4 and raffael_chess. On the board, he’s a strategic force; off it, perhaps a grill master or chef-in-the-making.

Need proof of his might? Just look at his latest game on Chess.com where a sharp combination in the Scandinavian Defense led to a beautiful resignation from his opponent. All this, while maintaining a cool head, moving around 65 moves per win, averaging about an hour’s worth of mental gymnastics per victory at rapid tempos.

In summary: Jorge Bittencourt is a blitz-bullet beast, tactical genius, and a psychological chess samurai who balances ferocity with finesse. Opponents beware — when Jorge sits at the board, the game just got a lot more interesting (and probably shorter for you).
