Nestor Chávez (alienboy98) - The Quirky Chess Adventurer

Meet Nestor Chávez, a rapidly evolving chess enthusiast who’s still discovering if the pieces obey his commands or just genuinely enjoy toying with him. Known online as alienboy98, Nestor’s journey through the ranks is nothing short of an epic saga filled with van Geet openings, occasional rebellious early resignations, and a suspiciously high comeback rate that makes his opponents sweat.

Rating Rollercoaster

In 2025, Nestor’s rapid chess ratings swung wildly—from a reasonable high of 443 down to a humbling 203, averaging around the mid-200s across 82 games. His blitz days are limited but memorable, maxing out at 624 in 2021 with a flair for dramatic single matches. And let’s not forget his brief but intense single daily game scoring a solid 742! A true testament to playing with gusto, if not consistency.

Opening Gambits & Favorite Moves

When it comes to openings, Nestor's secret weapon is the Van Geet Opening, boasting a 71% win rate—clearly where the magic happens. Other notable mentions include dabbling in the King's Pawn and Reti openings with modest success, and occasionally surprising foes with a sneaky Van t Kruijs Opening that’s won 2 out of 3 games—a true connoisseur of unconventional variations.

Playing Style & Psychological Quirks

With an average of about 51 moves per win and 59 per loss, Nestor is the type who enjoys the long haul, proving that patience can indeed be a virtue (or stubbornness—depends who you ask). His endgame frequency is high (57%), suggesting he's serious about finishing strong, even if that sometimes means early surprise resignations sneak in at a 7% rate.

Psychologically, Nestor is a curious blend: a comeback artist with a 65% comeback success rate, and he wins every single game where he loses a piece—talk about turning lemons into lemon cheesecake! Just beware his "tilt factor" of 4, the sweet spot where frustration and brilliance collide.

Opponents Beware!

With a recent vaunted 100% win streak against several opponents—yes, looking at you, phat12345678910rich, nikola77super, and magnuscarlsen5728 (okay, maybe just online aliases)—Nestor's online battles are as unpredictable as his openings. One day he’s a ruthless tactician, the next he’s an existential crisis wrapped in a chessboard, all making for a uniquely entertaining play style.

Fun Fact

His best performing hours? 13:00 and 3:00, when the brain is either fully awake or suspiciously caffeinated. Weird? Absolutely. Effective? Apparently yes!

Whether you want a serious game or just someone who might accidentally checkmate themselves while trying to resign early, Nestor Chávez is your go-to chess adventurer. Prepare for tactical surprises, quirky moves, and a lot of fun!
