Miguel Arturo Silva Arellano: The Goat of Online Speed Chess
When you log on to chess and see ajedrezconchivas in the lobby, you are sharing the board with Miguel Arturo Silva Arellano, a National Master who has turned online bullet chess into a personal art form. His username roughly translates to "chess with goats," and like a goat, he is stubborn, nimble, and happy to climb to the highest peak on the rating board.
A Career Built on 1.e4
Miguel is a man of simple opening faith. He overwhelmingly opens with 1.e4 and trusts it in every time control. That loyalty has made him a specialist in the Sicilian Defense: Closed, the Caro-Kann Defense, and the French Defense. In bullet games, he wins around 59 percent of his games in all three setups, which is a terrifying thing to face at speed. As Black, he is also comfortable defending the Italian Game: Two Knights Defense and regularly outplays opponents who try to surprise him with offbeat gambits.
The Bullet Marathon
Preferred time control: bullet. That is not a suggestion for Miguel, it is a lifestyle. He has played thousands of bullet games and once packed 961 games into a single month, winning more than 500 of them. His bullet rating climbed to a monstrous 2810 (2026-09-18) in September 2026. His blitz rating also crossed 2500, but bullet is where his heart lives.
Rivalries That Define Him
No online career is complete without rivals. Miguel has a nearly even, always entertaining series against Levi Kalani Alexander Fogo Esquivel, with 39 meetings and a score that could go either way on any night. He has also traded wins with swinghigh11, winning 20 of their 39 games, and he absolutely owns xetdik, beating that opponent 17 times in 18 tries.
Fighting Spirit and Goat Stubbornness
Miguel's numbers tell the story of a fighter. His comeback rate is above 82 percent, and he still wins more than half of his games after losing a piece. He almost never resigns early, and he reaches the endgame in roughly 80 percent of his games. His longest winning streak is 17 games, and his longest losing streak is 11, which means even a National Master can have a bad day on the wrong side of the internet.
He is stronger with the white pieces, winning about 58 percent of his white games compared with 50 percent as Black. His best results tend to come around 10 in the morning, so schedule your bullet session with him accordingly.
Legacy
Miguel Arturo Silva Arellano is proof that online chess can forge real mastery. With a National Master title, a bullet rating in the elite range, and enough 1.e4 games to fill a library, ajedrezconchivas has earned his place among the most entertaining speed chess warriors on the platform. He plays with joy, he plays with speed, and he plays with the heart of a goat who refuses to fall off the mountain.
