Alejandro Castellanos Gómez – The FIDE Master with a Tactical Twist
Alejandro Castellanos Gómez, known in the chess world by the username ajeale2, holds the esteemed title of FIDE Master. More than just a title, it symbolizes years of dedication, brain-burning calculations, and probably a few cups of strong coffee.
Starting low but aiming high, Alejandro's chess journey began with bullet ratings around 1400 in 2014, steadily climbing to a blazing 2538 bullet rating by 2024 – a rise that suggests they’ve mastered the art of thinking faster than a caffeinated squirrel chasing a nut. Blitz games echo this upward trajectory, with ratings climbing from the low 2000s to a formidable 2525 peak.
Playing style and strengths:
- Known for an endgame frequency of over 85%, Alejandro truly shines when the battlefield narrows down to kings, pawns, and nerves of steel.
- His average winning game lasts about 75 moves, which means patience is a virtue he’s invested in – and most certainly a test of the opponent’s stamina.
- Not one to give up easily, Alejandro boasts a staggering 88.89% comeback rate, making adversaries sweat when they think victory is near.
- When losing a piece? Forget despair, Alejandro's win rate is a perfect 100% after such setbacks, turning blunders into brilliance.
Notable quirks and fun facts:
- With a longest winning streak of 7, Alejandro has proven their ability to weave a winning tapestry, stitch by stitch.
- Their favorite time to conquer the board seems to be Saturday with a sweet 75% win rate, and evenings around 19:00 when the win rate hits a flawless 100% — clearly, that’s peak Alejandro time!
- Playing 'Top Secret' openings remains a favorite strategy, boasting a 71% win rate in Bullet and a respectable 46% in Blitz, leaving opponents wondering if Alejandro moonlights as a spy.
Alejandro’s opponent list reads like an all-star lineup, with near-perfect win records against many, and a surprisingly persistent rivalry against players like ibrahimelshinnawy where the win percentage hovers around 61.54%. Against some, though, like balack95 and sl2000, victories are less frequent – proving everyone has their kryptonite.
With psychological resilience (tilt factor of only 5) and an ability to keep calm under fire, Alejandro Castellanos Gómez is not just a chess player – they’re a strategic force with a dash of humor and a whole lot of heart. Perhaps more famously known in the virtual corridors of online chess, Alejandro's blend of perseverance and endgame mastery make them a player to watch, remember, and perhaps most importantly, avoid messing with!

Strengths

- Active Piece Play: Your games demonstrate dynamic knight maneuvers (e.g., Nd5 jumps) and effective use of bishops on diagonals, coordinating well for tactical opportunities.
- Calculation: In winning games, you find accurate tactical shots and transitions, often capitalizing on opponent inaccuracies leading to checkmate or material gain.
Areas to Improve

- Handling Counterplay: Opponents sometimes gained active counterplay on the queenside or center, exploiting weaknesses like pawn breaks or piece pinning. Try to anticipate their plans earlier and seek prophylactic moves.
- Time Management: A few games ended on time losses. Balancing calculation depth with clock pressure will help avoid rushed mistakes in critical moments.
Specific Recommendations
- Study Key Endgames: Practice basic rook endgames, bishop vs knight endings, and pawn majorities to enhance technique. Focus on Lucena and Philidor positions as a start.
- Review Tactical Patterns: Continue training calculation through puzzles emphasizing forks, pins, discovered attacks, and mating nets similar to your winning games.
- Analyze Critical Moments: Look back at pivotal turning points in your losses to identify if inaccuracies stemmed from strategic misunderstanding or calculation errors.
- Time Awareness: Develop a habit of checking the clock more regularly, especially entering complex positions, to maintain sufficient thinking time throughout the game.
