Anthony José Narváez Martínez ツ - The Bullet Maestro

Meet Anthony José Narváez Martínez, known online as AnthonyJNM, a chess adventurer whose journey is as dynamic as his opening repertoire! Starting his climb through the rankings back in 2020, Anthony has shown a particular knack for Bullet chess, with a peak rating soaring to an impressive 2208 as of January 2025. That’s right — a player who makes blitzing through complicated positions look almost effortless (except when his longest losing streak stubbornly stretched to a dramatic 9 games, but hey, even legends have bad days).

His Blitz and Rapid games tell a story too: stunning victories with a Blitz peak at 1971 and a solid Rapid best at 1304. But beware, Anthony is not just about quick strikes; his average moves per win hover comfortably around 69 moves, indicating deep strategic mindset and mastery in endgames, which he reaches frequently—around two-thirds of his games go all the way to that stage!

Openings? Anthony is a connoisseur of the Reti Opening variations, including his favorite Nimzowitsch Larsen Attack, boasting a spectacular 80% win rate in Bullet games! The Scandinavian Defense also makes appearances, though in true Anthony style, he spices it up with the Mieses Kotrc Variation—a combo that nets him a solid 65% success rate. And if you fancy a duel against him in Blitz, watch out for his nearly flawless record (100% win rate!) with the Sicilian Defense.

Psychologically, Anthony’s the kind of player who probably thrives best right after lunch—his gold-hour to play? 13:00, when his win rate hits a perfect 100%. That’s when his tactical awareness shines brightest, evidenced by a nearly 80% comeback rate and a 57.5% win rate even after losing a piece. This guy never gives up, even if his tilt factor reminds us he might throw a little hissy fit now and then (tilt factor: 9).

His recent games illustrate both brilliance and hustle: a cool victory by resignation with his Reti Opening Nimzowitsch Larsen Attack in January 2025, demonstrating strategic finesse and stamina. Yet, like all mortals, he’s tasted defeat too—with a checkmate loss in December 2024 reminding him that every king sometimes must bow.

When not trading furious bullet volleys at a breathtaking speed, Anthony’s known for an enviable win record vs many opponents, including a 100% win rate against several (we're looking at you, copiapino and chiefwilson), proving that while he’s friendly, on the board he’s a fierce competitor.

So, if you’re seeking a chess partner who embodies resilience, strategic depth, and a flair for dramatic comebacks sprinkled with a pinch of fun (that iconic ツ gives it away), AnthonyJNM is your guy. Just don’t blink—you might miss a brilliant tactic or a sudden checkmate!

“Chess is 99% tactics, and 1% not getting checkmated on time.” – Probably Anthony, during a frantic Bullet game.
