Andres Felipe Gallego Alcaraz: The Grandmaster Who Resigns Early and Wins Anyway

Some grandmasters grind out every half-point and sweat through 120-move endgames. Andres Felipe Gallego Alcaraz, known across the board as afgano29, took one look at that lifestyle and said "no thank you." With an early resignation rate that would make a poker player blush, he has decided that if the position is bad, the game simply no longer deserves his presence. The result? Over 3,000 Blitz wins and a career that keeps climbing anyway.
