ANDRES SANTIAGO GARZON CAMELO

Andres Santiago Garzon Camelo (Username: ANDRESANTY)

Meet Andres Santiago Garzon Camelo, known on the virtual battlefield as ANDRESANTY, a chess enthusiast who’s climbed the ranks with a blend of tactical brilliance and good old-fashioned resilience. Starting with a modest daily chess rating hovering around 700 in 2020, Andres made a remarkable surge to a daily peak rating near 1450 by 2023. Not bad for someone who knows the pain of a rough start!

Chess Journey & Playing Style

Andres is the epitome of determination, as proven by a jaw-dropping 84.7% comeback rate — basically, when life (or an opponent) knocks him down, he gets right back up and often ends up victorious. His average moves per win and loss (around 70 moves) hint that he’s a marathoner, patiently grinding down opponents rather than blitzing through. His early resignation rate is under 4%, so he’s definitely not one to throw in the towel prematurely.

He tends to perform better with white pieces (winning about 55.5% of games) but holds his own well with black, too (50.6% wins). Putting it simply: whether opening or defending, ANDRESANTY is a force to be reckoned with.

Rating Highlights

• Blitz: Leaped from a 1400-rated blitz player in 2019 to an impressive 2815 rating in 2023 — a hefty jump fueled by thousands of games and thousands of wins!
• Bullet: Even more intense, Andres hit a stunning bullet peak of 2921 in 2023, averaging nearly 2790 — all while battling time pressure like a ninja.
• Rapid: With a max rating above 2300, Andres proves he’s no slouch in longer formats either.

Signature Openings & Tactics

Fire up your engines because Andres enjoys attacking with the Sicilian Defense, boasting a spectacular 100% win rate in daily games with it! Not just sticking to one trick, he also masters a variety of defenses and openings like the Alapin Sicilian, French Defense Exchange Variation, and the mysterious Van't Kruijs Opening, showing his versatile and well-prepared repertoire.

Time & Psychological Trends

Andres performs best in the afternoon and evening hours, with peak win rates around 22:00 and 23:00. Interestingly, on Fridays and Thursdays, his win rate climbs above 55%, so maybe those are his "lucky" days to outwit opponents!

Though he’s known to tilt — with a tilt factor of 17 — what truly amazes is his perfect 100% win record after losing a piece; it’s like he turns setbacks into strategic masterpieces, making opponents second guess their moves.

Recent Glory & Defeats

In one of his recent blitz battles, ANDRESANTY snatched victory with a striking checkmate against a 2876-rated opponent via the Sicilian Defense Keres Variation. The game was a beautiful dance of tactics and timing, wrapping up with a decisive finish.

Like any great warrior, he has faced defeats, including a tense timed loss to a lower-rated challenger in daily chess — a reminder that even the best endure tough days.

In Conclusion

Andres Santiago Garzon Camelo isn’t just playing chess; he’s climbing mountains, dodging bullets, and making comebacks that would make a Hollywood scriptwriter jealous. A player who knows how to blend endurance with tactical savvy, ANDRESANTY is certainly a name to watch on the chessboard — and maybe in the meme hall of fame, given his knack for fighting back and making every game a story worth telling.
