Leandro Agustín Hurtado - The National Master with a Twist

Meet Leandro Agustín Hurtado, known equally well online as aguss_ok5, a chess enthusiast who has proudly earned the title of National Master. This player’s journey in chess reads like an epic saga: starting with humble beginnings, slowly but steadily climbing from an 800-rating Blitz rookie in 2017 to smashing 2300+ in Bullet chess by 2025—a feat worthy of at least a few standing ovations.

Leandro is a force to be reckoned with in multiple formats: fast and furious Bullet, tactical Blitz, the strategic Rapid, and; for the patient souls, Daily chess. With over 3,000 Bullet games under their belt and a stressful symphony of wins (1816), losses (1707), and draws (105), aguss_ok5 dances on the edge of excitement and chaos better than a caffeinated Grand Prix driver. Their peak Bullet rating surged to an electrifying 2305 in May 2025, which raises the question: do they sleep, or just calculate moves in their dreams?

A strategist at heart, Leandro’s favorite openings keep opponents guessing. The mysterious Top Secret opening reigns supreme in Blitz and Bullet games alike, boasting a win rate hovering just above 50%. When feeling a bit adventurous, Leandro throws in high-performing variations like the Alapin Sicilian and the Indian Game Knights Variation, proving they know how to keep the game spicy and unpredictable.

Leandro’s playstyle strikes a fine balance between bold aggression and psychological resilience. With a remarkable comeback rate of nearly 80% after losing a piece, this player shows the spirit of a true fighter who’s not easily discouraged—no tilting here, despite a tilt factor of 13 (hey, who’s perfect?). Their games tend to be epic marathons with an average of 63 moves per win, suggesting patience that could rival a chess clock ticking through the night.

Fun fact: their best time to shine is early in the morning around 7 AM. Clearly, a dawn warrior who enjoys leaving sleepy opponents in the dust while they orchestrate tactical fireworks.

Whether wielding the board in bullet speed or enjoying a prolonged daily game, Leandro’s name commands respect—and maybe a little awe mixed with curiosity about their secret weapon moves.
