Alberto Chueca Forcén: International Master of Blitz Chess
Alberto Chueca Forcén, known online as AlbertoChueca, is a FIDE International Master whose chess profile is defined by relentless activity, sharp tactical instincts, and a clear love of fast time controls. Blitz is his preferred arena, where decisions arrive quickly and hesitation is usually invited to leave the board.
A Formidable Online Competitor
Across his recorded games, Alberto has built an impressive blitz record of 4,054 wins, 897 losses, and 218 draws. His longest winning streak reached 67 games, an achievement that suggests his opponents occasionally needed more than good preparation and a sturdy internet connection.
His style is energetic without being reckless. Alberto wins more than 80% of his games with White and 76% with Black, while his comeback rate of 78.91% shows that a damaged position is not necessarily a defeated one. In his games, the chessboard can remain very much open for business even after a piece has gone missing.
Opening Repertoire and Tactical Character
Alberto's repertoire is broad, inventive, and highly effective in blitz. His strongest results include the Alekhine Defense, where his recorded blitz win rate exceeds 90%, as well as the Caro-Kann Defense, which has also produced a strong winning record.
He is equally comfortable in sharp Sicilian positions, including the Sicilian Defense: Accelerated Dragon and the Sicilian Defense: Alapin Variation. His statistics point to a player who enjoys active piece play, early tactical opportunities, and positions where the queen may politely ask everyone else to move aside.
