Aaron Jacobson (aka WorriedEgg)
International Master | Blitz and Bullet Maestro
Aaron Jacobson, proudly bearing the prestigious title of International Master bestowed by FIDE, is no ordinary chess battler. Known in the chess cosmos as WorriedEgg, Aaron has cracked the code to blitz and bullet chess like a caffeinated grandmaster on a caffeine-fueled frenzy! With lightning-fast reflexes and an uncanny tactical radar, Aaron consistently dances near the 3000 rating mark in blitz, even peaking at an astonishing 3066, and shattered the 3200 barrier in bullet with a peak rating of 3217 — no small feat in these time-crunched formats.
A deep strategist, Aaron averages over 80 moves per win in their games, showing a penchant for enduring battles that tease out every last bit of endgame prowess (they’ve reached the endgame nearly 79% of the time!). While quick to resign when the situation turns bleak (early resignation rate just 2%), their comeback ability is the stuff of legends, boasting an impressive 85% comeback rate — proving they never count themselves out, even when hanging by a thread.
It’s not all serious business: Aaron’s playing style shows a balanced wink with white pieces winning over 52% of the time and a respectable near 48% win rate with black. They’ve mastered a mysterious “Top Secret” opening repertoire, playing it over 8,000 times across blitz and bullet games with a win rate that hovers near 46% in blitz and a formidable 54% in bullet. A fan of the Sicilian Defense and Reti Opening, Aaron proves to be as crafty as a fox and twice as pesky to opponents.
When not blitzing or bulleting their way through opponents (over 4,800 wins in bullet alone!), Aaron loves pushing limits with a longest winning streak of 25 games—a streak that might just be fueled by sheer determination, liquid focus, or maybe just the right playlist. Their toughest nemeses include the likes of "wonderfultime" and Daniel Naroditsky, whom they have battled multiple times in recent clashes, each game a thrilling saga of attack and defense.
Off the board, Aaron probably enjoys chess puns, chaotic analysis sessions, and might secretly chuckle at the irony of being quietly called “WorriedEgg” despite cracking open defenses and shells aplenty on the battlefield.
In short: an IM with a tank full of bullets, a blitz king with nerves of steel, and a strategist who turns tick-tock time pressure into pure chess art. Watch out world, Aaron Jacobson is spoiling for a checkmate!
