Andres Ingunza Curro - The FIDE Master of the Tactical Tango
Known in the chess realms as adic2020, Andres Ingunza Curro proudly holds the prestigious title of FIDE Master. His chess journey is a rollercoaster of bullets, blitzes, and rapid-fire duels where he never fails to entertain both spectators and opponents alike — sometimes with brilliant strategy, occasionally with unexpected flair, and once or twice with a well-timed tactical blunder that keeps everyone on their toes.
Rating and Performance Highlights
- Bullet Chess: A fearsome arena for Andres, his rating soared from around 2400 in 2022 to a blazing 2721 by 2025. With over 600 wins out of just under 700 games in his favorite “Top Secret” opening (yes, it’s secret!), his win rate hovers near 60%—a true bullet ninja!
- Blitz: In the lightning-fast battleground of blitz, Andres's rating has surged past 2500, with an impressive 60.5% win rate over more than 800 games. Whether it's early morning or late at night, his calculated strikes keep his opponents guessing.
- Rapid: Slower but no less deadly, Andres holds a solid 53% win rate in rapid with a peak rating just shy of 2300.
Playing Style and Chess Philosophy
Don’t blink! With an average of 68 moves per win and an exalted endgame frequency of over 72%, Andres is a patient predator who prefers to wear down foes in grinding endgame battles. His psychological resilience is legendary—with a comeback rate of nearly 84% and a rare inclination to resign early (only 1.55%), he fights tooth and nail even when the odds are against him.
Streaks and Signature Moments
Holding a longest winning streak of 41 games sounds like a myth, but Andres made it real—most likely fueled by his “Top Secret” opening and a mysterious blend of caffeine and sheer willpower.
Opponent Relations
His record against recurring rivals is something of legend: undefeated against some (like “bullhouse14” and “qd-ad”) with a perfect 100% win rate, while others have managed to snatch a few wins here and there. One thing's for sure: he treats his opponents with fierce respect and occasionally with a cheeky grin after a sharp tactical flourish.
Fun Facts
- Plays strongest in the afternoon hours between 13:00–15:00, hitting peak win rates above 73%.
- Has a tilt factor of 7, which means he’s mostly calm, except when the coffee runs out mid-game.
- Wins more often with White (62%) but still holds his ground confidently with Black (58%).
Whether it’s bullet blitzening or rapid strategizing, Andres Ingunza Curro remains a formidable force in the chess world, combining talent, grit, and a pinch of mystery. One can only wonder what his “Top Secret” opening really is—perhaps it’s just pure chess wizardry, or maybe, just maybe, it’s a perfectly brewed cup of coffee and a mischievous smile.
Overall Performance
Andres, your recent tournament play shows a balanced winning rate just below 50%, which indicates a solid foundation in bullet games. Your rating trend is positive over various time frames, particularly over the past 3 and 6 months, showing continued improvement and adaptability in your gameplay. This steady progress is encouraging and reflects your dedication.
Strengths
- Opening Knowledge: You have demonstrated strong understanding in openings such as the Queen's Pawn, Bogo-Indian, and various Sicilian Defense lines. This has contributed to several successful early advantages.
- Aggressive Play: In multiple games, you utilized pawn pushes and piece activity to unsettle opponents, such as in the aggressive push on the kingside and central breakthroughs in your winning games.
- Endgame Technique: You showed good endgame awareness, converting advantages effectively and capitalizing on opponent errors, especially notable in some complex rook and queen endgames.
Areas for Improvement
- Time Management: A few of your losses were attributed to time pressure. Improving clock management in bullet will help maintain better decision-making under time constraints.
- Handling Counterplay: Some losses involved opponents activating counterplay on the queenside or through central breaks. Focus on recognizing and neutralizing early threats against your position.
- Defensive Awareness: There are moments where small inaccuracies led to decisive attacks by your opponents. Reinforcing your defensive skills and calculating opponent threats more precisely can reduce these vulnerabilities.
Recommended Focus Areas
- Practice rapid calculation exercises to sharpen your tactical alertness under time pressure.
- Review opening lines deeply to anticipate and counter opponent reactions effectively.
- Work on endgame fundamentals, especially rook and minor piece endgames, to secure more wins from advantageous positions.
- Simulate bullet time control conditions in training to improve both speed and accuracy simultaneously.
Next Steps
Keep building on your positive trends. Review your recent games, focusing on critical moments where the game turned. Identify alternative moves or defenses that could have improved your position. Consistent practice and game analysis will guide your continued improvement in bullet chess.
