Juan Plazuelo Pascual – The International Master with a Bulletproof Bullet

Meet Juan Plazuelo Pascual, a chess connoisseur who proudly holds the prestigious title of International Master granted by FIDE. Juan’s chess journey is like a thrilling novel full of tactical fireworks, epic comebacks, and the occasional head-scratching opponent who just couldn’t keep up.

Known in the chess circles (and probably on Discord) as Ajedrecista3000, Juan’s bullet rating skyrocketed from a charming 2181 in 2022 all the way up to a blazing 2604 in 2024. Fun fact: in bullet games, Juan boasts a perfect score of 6 wins, 0 losses in 2022 and continues to pepper his opponents with sharp strikes in 2024. Clearly, “speed chess” is not just a mode but a way of life!

His blitz exploits are equally impressive — maintaining a soaring rating around 2600+ with an all-time high of 2708. With more than 300 games played in this fast-paced format, Juan has shown off a relentless fighting spirit, winning over half his battles and drawing many more.

Juan’s style? A clever blend of patience and endurance. He frequently drags games deep into the endgame (an impressive 86.46% endgame frequency), averaging a marathon-like 84 moves per winning game. When he says “long game,” he means it. If you ever find yourself thinking you have a chance, think twice: his tactical awareness is razor-sharp with an astounding 93.14% comeback rate and a 100% win rate after losing a piece. That’s chess resilience at its finest.

Juan appears to be a morning philosopher of the chessboard as well — his best hours include 7 AM and 11 AM, when he boasts a flawless 100% win rate. So if you want to catch him off-guard, maybe schedule your challenge at midnight (33% win rate there).

Beware opponents – Juan’s longest winning streak hit an electrifying 7 wins. His favourite opening? Let’s just call it “Top Secret” because it’s been good for an 80% win rate in bullet games and keeps his opponents guessing.

Off the board, Juan might be a humble player, but on it, he’s a tactical wizard who could probably checkmate you while blindfolded (and possibly with one hand tied behind his back). So whether you call him Juan or Ajedrecista3000, one thing’s for sure: underestimating this International Master might be your first and last mistake.
