Rojas Espinosa Pablo Alejandro (aka Alexrojas34)
Meet Pablo Alejandro Rojas Espinosa, a chess enthusiast whose game is as colorful as his name is long. Known in the chess world as Alexrojas34, he has battled through 400+ rapid games, 35 blitz bouts, and a handful of bullet duels with the steadfastness of a rook defending its rank.
The Journey Through The Ranks
Pablo kicked off at a modest rapid rating of about 219 in late 2023. Fast forward to 2025, and he’s carved out a respectable peak rapid rating of 868 — not bad for someone who clearly enjoys the roller coaster ride of rating swings almost as much as the game itself! His blitz and bullet ratings sit comfortably at 484 and 615 respectively, proving he’s got speed and style, just don’t ask him to sprint past 8 AM or past 9 PM unless he’s caffeinated.
Playing Style – Not Your Average Pawn
Known for his patience (with average winning games lasting nearly 77 moves), Pablo enjoys the long tactical fights, demonstrating a comeback rate of over 83%. Counterattacks? Absolutely. Resign early? A rare 4.76% occurrence. This guy fights until the end or until his opponent’s intuition finally catches up!
His favorite playground is the Queens Pawn Opening Zukertort Chigorin Variation, where he boasts an impressive 55.88% win rate in rapid games. He also dabbles cautiously with the Englund Gambit and Colle System, showing he's got a taste for both classic and offbeat lines. However, Italian Game players beware—Pablo has yet to taste victory there but sports a humble collection of three draws.
Highs and Lows
With a longest winning streak of 7 games and a slightly cranky longest losing streak of 8, Pablo rides the emotional roller coaster of chess with good humor and an occasional dramatic sigh. His “tilt factor” stands at a lively 8—so if things go sideways, he might just throw in an “Oops!” before plotting his next cunning move.
Not All About Numbers
This chess warrior is undefeated against some opponents (looking at you, zoawd and natedakid30), but he understands humility through a few tough losses to top rivals like denisstartsev. His online battles are peppered with dramatic resignations and clutch wins, showcasing his flair for turning the tides mid-game.
Trivia & Fun Facts
