Angel Paredes Galan: The FIDE Master with a Blitzing Heart
Meet Angel Paredes Galan, a FIDE Master who dances on the 64 squares with a blend of tactical wizardry and relentless energy. Known in the chess circuits as apg77, Angel’s journey began humbly with a blitz rating in the mid-1400s back in 2010, but it wasn’t long before they zoomed past the 2200 mark, proving they don’t just play chess — they blitz it.
Blessed with a phenomenal longest winning streak of 33 games, Angel can often be found unleashing a ferocious storm of quickfire moves that overwhelm opponents faster than you can say "checkmate!". Their bullet chess win rate tops an astonishing 75%, making them a true speed demon with the mouse.
Angel’s playstyle is like a mix of concentrating monk and unpredictable storm: they rarely resign early (early resignation rate of just 0.71%), enjoy rich endgames (jumping into endings in almost 75% of their games), and play lengthy battles with an average of around 66 moves per win—because why rush victory when you can savor the pain for your opponent?
Tactical awareness? Oh yes. Angel has a comeback rate of 84.5% and an unbeatable 100% win rate after losing a piece. Clearly, Angel did not get their FIDE Master title by folding at the first sign of trouble.
When it comes to timing, Angel shines brightest in the evenings, boasting over 80% win rates during the 16th and 18th hours and a perfect 100% at 8am, 4am, and 6am—which possibly hints at a nocturnal lifestyle or just an uncanny ability to calculate mate before breakfast.
Off the board, Angel is a formidable competitor in blitz and bullet formats, having amassed over 1,766 blitz wins and 434 bullet victories. Though their reputation might make some friends tremble (losing repeatedly to apg77 is no fun), Angel never forgets the lighter side of chess and sportsmanship.
So here’s to Angel Paredes Galan: a blitzing maestro whose games are like fireworks – fast, bright, and impossible to look away from. May their bishop always find the perfect diagonal, and their knights forever spring surprise attacks!
