Nelson Fernandez - National Master Extraordinaire

Meet Nelson Fernandez, a chess warrior whose journey from a humble bullet rating of just over 1000 in 2013 to a blazing peak of 2670 in 2024 is nothing short of legendary. Awarded the prestigious title of National Master by National, Nelson’s chess journey is a rollercoaster filled with tactical fireworks and endgame wizardry.

Nelson doesn’t just play chess — they live it. With over 25,000 bullet games under their belt and a win rate flirting with 53%, they are the kind of player who could probably checkmate a Fortnite noob blindfolded. Their blitz play is equally impressive, rocking a peak rating above 2500 and a cool 52% win rate over more than 10,000 games. If speed chess were a sprint, Nelson would be Usain Bolt with a knight and bishop.

Daily and rapid games may seem like a calm stroll compared to bullets, but Nelson handles these formats with the coolness of a chessboard iced over with confidence, boasting a daily win rate just shy of 63%. Tactical awareness is Nelson’s secret sauce: a stunning 90.88% comeback rate and a flawless victory record when down a piece show a will that would intimidate even the toughest grandmasters.

One might wonder: does Nelson ever get tired or tilt? With a low tilt factor of 15, it’s clear they rarely rage-quit or throw their queen across the room in frustration. And should the position look grim, early resignations are rarer than blunders in a Magnus Carlsen game, with a rate just above 1%.

Opponents beware: whether it’s blitz, bullet or daily, Nelson's games average more than 70 moves, proving that patience paired with precision wins the day. When playing white, Nelson’s success rate nudges above 54%, and black is no walk in the park either, holding a respectable 51% win rate.

In the chess community, Nelson is known for their lengthy endgames, undefeated comebacks, and an unbeatable spirit — a testament to Isaac Newton’s quote: “If I have seen further, it is by standing on the shoulders of giants.” Nelson is quickly becoming one of those giants.

Whether facing off against longtime rivals like nickmatta or taking on fresh challengers, Nelson plays with a mix of strategic genius and a touch of humor — because who else do you know keeps the tension high and the chuckles coming in a world of 64 squares?
