Alberto Arnedo Ruiz: The National Master with a Blitz Touch

Known in the chess circles as albertoarnedo, Alberto Arnedo Ruiz is no ordinary player—he proudly wears the National Master title bestowed by his country. But don't let the seriousness of the title fool you; Alberto brings a spark of excitement and strategy to every game he plays, especially when the clock is ticking down.

Rating Rollercoaster and Speed Demon

Alberto's Bullet and Blitz ratings read like a thrilling novel. His Bullet maxed out at a sizzling 2423 in 2021, a speed chess whirlwind where pieces fly as fast as his wit. Meanwhile, his Blitz prowess peaked at an impressive 2425 in 2024, showing steady improvement over the years. With thousands of games logged (over 3,800 in Blitz alone!), Alberto has experienced victorious highs and tactical battles aplenty.

Playing Style: Patient Yet Fierce

Don't expect Alberto to roll over easily. His average moves per win hover around 72, revealing the endurance and deep calculation layered beneath his lightning-fast moves. His endgame frequency is strikingly high at over 79%, proving that he’s comfortable dueling it out until the very last pawn.

Tactics and Tenacity

Alberto boasts an extraordinary 87% comeback rate and an astonishing 100% win rate after losing a piece. It’s safe to say giving him material advantage is a dangerous gamble! His one-sided loss rate is a mere 2%, indicating a player who rarely lets an opponent steamroll him.

The Psychological Edge

With a tilt factor of 11, Alberto keeps his cool under pressure, although we all have those moments when the queen goes rogue. His rated vs casual win difference of nearly 53% suggests he brings his A-game even when the stakes are high—and maybe a little extra intensity to casual arenas too.

Champion of the Weeknight Chess Club

Playing at his best during the mysterious early morning hours (6 AM, with an impressive 70% win rate!), and surprisingly strong on Sunday afternoons, Alberto has proven he's a versatile player who can challenge opponents any day, any hour.

Fun Facts and Famous Foes

Alberto’s longest winning streak reached a dazzling 24 games—imagine the panic among his opponents when they realize the streak might hit 25! While he currently has no active winning streak, his dedication to consistent improvement remains unwavering.

He’s tangled with a slew of opponents—from the “gkogan” rivalries (24 games) to quickfire battles against “tayip99.” Some opponents have zero wins against him (sorry, folks!), while others see a 100% win rate that might be frustratingly elusive.

Behind the Scenes

Alberto’s opening repertoire is, well... Top Secret. But with a win rate around 52-53% in both Bullet and Blitz using these unknown tactics, it’s clear he’s cooking up something special on the board. Fellow players often joke that cracking his opening is like solving a Rubik’s cube blindfolded.

In Short

Alberto Arnedo Ruiz is a dedicated chess warrior who thrives in the high-speed chaos of Bullet and Blitz, armed with tactical brilliance, mental resilience, and a national master title that firmly places him on the map. Whether dominating the board or charming with his strategic flair, Alberto reminds us all that chess is as much about style as substance.
So next time you see albertoarnedo challenging you online, brace yourself: it’s going to be a match worth remembering!

What you are doing well

  • Opening variety & surprise value. From the Nimzo-Larsen (1.b3) against Michel Samuel Lopez Abreu to the French Advance gambit lines, you keep opponents guessing and often get the initiative early.
  • Dynamic piece play. In the win versus DeHerro your …Nf4 break on move 19 demonstrated excellent feel for activity and provoked irreparable weaknesses.
  • Tactical alertness. Many of your victories hinge on concrete calculation (e.g. 14.Nxe6!! against Dracmo). Your Puzzle-Rush-style sharpness is a genuine asset.

Key areas to target next

  1. King safety & opening discipline.
    • The loss to “buggsbunny09” began with an ambitious …Qa5+ that left your own king stranded in the centre.
    • Against the Accelerated Dragon (vs mardon) your kingside was ripped open after 17…Nxe4 and 22…gxf5.
    ➜ Rehearse the critical lines you allow: French Tarrasch (…c5 4…Nc6) and Accelerated Dragon (Maróczy Bind). Spend one study session each week adding concrete defensive resources to your files.
  2. Time management.
    Two recent defeats (vs “Sicillianenthusiast2” and in the Grünfeld Exchange) were simply flag-losses in playable positions.
    ➜ Adopt a “10-second insurance”: promise yourself to keep ≥10 seconds in reserve once the increment kicks in. Practise bullet drills where you must make every move with ≥2 seconds left to ingrain the habit.
  3. Conversion technique.
    Games where you had extra pawns (e.g. French Tarrasch win
    ) still drifted for several moves before opponents resigned.
    ➜ Add 15-minute weekly end-game sessions. Start with “rook & pawn vs rook” and “two connected passers vs knight” studies.
  4. Early flank-pawn pushes.
    In multiple openings you launch h-pawns (h4/h5) by move 5. Against prepared opposition (Capetanas, Grunfeld game) this left weaknesses you could not cover.
    ➜ Ask yourself “What will protect this pawn three moves later?” before pushing a rook pawn in the opening.

Opening-room focus for the next month

ColourLine to reviewMain objective
WhiteMaróczy Bind vs Accelerated DragonInternalise typical central breaks (f4, b4) & piece placements.
BlackFrench Tarrasch 4…cxd4/…Nf6 systemsMemorise safer queen retreats and castling sequences to avoid central king.
EitherRook-and-pawn endings (Philidor & Lucena)Confidence to convert without dipping under 10 seconds.

Training blueprint (weekly)

  • 3×30 min tactic sessions (mix of Puzzle Rush & slow tactical sets).
  • 2×20 min opening file maintenance (one white, one black line).
  • 1×30 min end-game drill + mini test.
  • Play 10 blitz games, but annotate at least two immediately afterwards—focus on time-use and critical moments.

Keep the momentum!

Your attacking instincts already surpass many peers in the 2200-2300 band. By tightening king safety principles and taking the clock as seriously as the board, 2300+ blitz should be within reach soon. Good luck, and feel free to send over any tricky positions you’d like reviewed!
