Profile: Jorge Herrera (aka ZetaJorge)
Jorge Herrera, known in chess circles as ZetaJorge, is a force to be reckoned with on the virtual 64-square battlefield. Starting from humble beginnings with a modest bullet rating of just over 1100 in 2017, Jorge’s love for blitz and bullet chess quickly escalated to a full-on obsession. By 2025, his bullet rating soared past 2600, a level where even the pieces themselves seem intimidated.
With a penchant for Top Secret openings (strategies so secret, not even Jorge fully remembers them), he dominates bullet chess with a win rate exceeding 66%, and blitz play not far behind at 65%. When it comes to rapid games, his win rate can only be described as almost mythical—topping an astonishing 84%.
Jorge’s chess style is a curious blend of endurance and resilience: boasting an average of 81 moves per win and even more moves per loss, proving he’s not just in it for quick kills, but for epic battles that could rival any fantasy novel. Ending games gracefully is his forte, with endgame frequency at a whopping 81%, and a willingness to fight back that’s reflected in a near-perfect comeback rate of 88.35%.
While most players tilt under pressure, Jorge keeps his cool with a tilt factor of 15%, and an almost scary 99.99% win rate after losing a piece—because losing a piece is just an opportunity in disguise, right? When off the clock, he’s often found playing at peak hours in the early afternoon and late evening, suggesting a mysterious chess bio-rhythm possibly linked to his coffee intake.
Behind all these numbers lies a dedicated chess player who has played over 16,000 bullet games, with wins tallying nearly 25,000, losses “only” around 10,000, and draws being rare moments of mercy. Jorge’s longest winning streak? An eyebrow-raising 71 games in a row. Current streak? Always ready for the next battle.
Off the board, Jorge's known to pull off brilliant blunders with the same flair as his double-king attacks, reminding us all that chess is as much about having fun as it is about crushing opponents. Whether facing a casual opponent or his frequent rival “3_k14” (whom he’s played 457 times), Jorge brings his trademark blend of tactical brilliance and quirky humor to every match.
In short, Jorge Herrera isn't just a chess player—he’s a chess phenomenon, slowly but surely making the bullet chess world tremble, one secret opening at a time.
