Andrés Trigueros (aka Antriv99) - The Relentless Chess Adventurer

Once upon a chessboard, there’s Andrés Trigueros, a player whose journey through the ranks is sprinkled with resilience, occasional brilliance, and a pinch of “wait, what just happened?” moments. Known online as Antriv99, Andrés tackles the Royal Game with a fighting spirit and an unyielding passion, even if the rating points occasionally resemble a rollercoaster ride!

A Tactical Rollercoaster

Andrés has dabbled in all the fast-paced formats — from Bullet fury to Blitz chaos and more methodical Rapid games. His peak Rapid rating is an impressive 1252, proving that when he’s feeling sharp, he’s capable of some serious board domination. On the flip side? Bullet has been less forgiving, with a max of 1079 but a tough 0-3 record in recent matches. But hey, everyone needs their nemesis, and it seems Bullet chess is his.

Favorite Openings & Playing Style

With a mysterious poker face, Andrés keeps his openings “Top Secret,” guarded more fiercely than the queen herself — though results show a solid 52.94% win rate in Rapid games with this approach. He’s a chess player who prefers to fight till the endgame, featuring a strong endgame frequency of nearly 60%, showing he’s not just a quick skirmisher but a patient strategist.

Psychological Profile & Quirks

Andrés is no stranger to the dreaded tilt, with a tilt factor of 11, but he also has a cunning knack for comebacks (68% comeback rate) and doesn’t easily surrender once a piece is lost (33.33% win rate after losing material). His best battlefield hour? An uncanny 4 AM sharp, perfect for nocturnal checkmating sprees — the chess world’s favorite vampire player.

Memorable Moments

In recent battles, Antriv99 has claimed notable wins by both checkmate and on-time victory. A classic example was his stylish victory on March 6th, 2024 — a dazzling game where he navigated the Scandinavian Defense with poise, eventually forcing opponent Amigothedog09 into submission on the clock.

Opponent Highlights

Carlosmagnums has been a frequent opponent, with Andrés holding roughly 71% wins — clearly a rivalry Andrés relishes. Meanwhile, he shows impressive dominance over several opponents including praveen2191999 and raulcalvogut, boasting perfect records against them.

Summary

Andrés Trigueros may not be the grandmaster just yet, but he’s the epitome of determination and chess humor. With every win savored, every loss analyzed, and every move taken with a smirk, he embodies the spirit of chess as a lifelong adventure — sometimes tricky, sometimes triumphant, always entertaining.
