Jan Emmanuel Garcia - International Master Extraordinaire

Once upon a chessboard, Jan Emmanuel Garcia — also known in the digital realm as superjem123 — rose through the ranks to earn the prestigious title of International Master from FIDE. This isn’t just a title; it's an elite badge of honor reserved for those who can outsmart mere mortals with their strategic brilliance and tactical wizardry.

With a blitz peak rating soaring above 2900 (yes, really), Jan Emmanuel has proven time and again that when the clock ticks fast, their mind ticks faster. From humble beginnings at a modest 1340 blitz rating in 2013 to smashing ratings near the 2900 mark in 2025, their journey is nothing short of a chess fairy tale. Bullet and rapid are no match either — with bullet peaks close to 2890 and rapid reaching nearly 2390, Jan Emmanuel can handle any time control thrown their way.

Style of Play

Known for an early resignation rate so low it might as well be zero, Jan Emmanuel fights tooth and nail in every position. Their games average about 85 moves per win, demonstrating not just endurance but surgical precision deep into endgames — which happen in over 83% of their battles. And don't be fooled; their tactical awareness is legendary with an astounding 86% comeback rate after setbacks.

Opening Secrets

What’s Jan Emmanuel’s secret weapon? It's a Top Secret opening that has netted 618 wins out of 962 blitz games — a staggering win rate above 64%! Opponents rarely crack this code, and those who try, well, often face a humiliating defeat. When they do dabble with the Kings Indian Defense Makogonov Variation or rare English Opening lines, the results are... let’s just say, less spectacular but deeply studied.

Memorable Games & Rivalries

With hundreds of opponents on the roster, Jan Emmanuel’s fiercest rivalries include clashes against cllloyd3 and noel_dela_cruz. Against some, victory seems preordained, boasting a perfect 100% win rate versus numerous foes (“Sorry, no rematches!”). Yet, even legends have their kryptonite — some players slyly evade defeat, but Jan Emmanuel often turns the tables in thrilling endgame showdowns.

Quirks & Statistical Curiosities

Did you know Jan Emmanuel's best playing hours include the crack of dawn at 2 AM? Somewhere between the late-night coffee and blitzing opponents, true genius strikes. Also, Sundays aren’t just for rest; they hold the highest win rate – an astonishing 74.58%! And if you ever think about tilting them — a word of caution, their tilt factor is a modest 8 out of 100, meaning they rarely let losses derail their cool.

Recent Triumph

One of their latest victories was a breathtaking encounter in April 2025, where Jan Emmanuel, playing White, masterfully dismantled their opponent with the English Opening, winning by resignation after 37 intense moves. You can relive the brilliance here — a game full of tactical fireworks and strategic finesse.

Whether wielding the knight or commanding the queen, Jan Emmanuel Garcia is a force to be reckoned with on the 64 squares — a clever mind wrapped in knight’s armor, forever chasing the next checkmate.
