Pablo Barrionuevo - International Master of the 64-Square Universe
Better known in the chess world by the username barriochess, Pablo Barrionuevo is an International Master (IM) titleholder, wielding an army of pawns, knights, and queens with a calculating precision that would make even Magnus pause. A relentless tactician with a comeback rate that soars at 93.31%, Pablo is as tricky off the board as on it.
Rating Journey & Playing Style
Since 2019, Pablo has danced through the ranks with notable Blitz ratings peaking over 2600 in 2025—a milestone that many Grandmasters only dream of conquering. His Bullet chess games, fast as a caffeinated knight, reached a peak rating above 2400, while his Rapid play secured solid wins with a peak near 2400 as well.
With an average of around 79 moves per win, Pablo’s games are marathons of strategy and patience, aren’t your typical blunderfest. His endgame specialty shines through an impressive 83.4% frequency, proving that when the dust settles, it’s the master of the final moves who claims the spoils.
Psychological Warfare & Quirks
Despite a modest tilt factor of 7 (yes, he’s human after all), Pablo rarely tucks tail early, boasting an early resignation rate of just 0.63%. And if the opponent thinks stealing a piece spells doom, think again—Pablo's perfect win rate after losing a piece (100%) is nothing short of legendary.
Opponents Beware
Pablo’s strongest victories include a 100% win rate against foes like atomicmate123, blankaejs, and khnykin_nikolay. However, humble beginnings remain as he holds a more modest 33% win rate against some like tteshan and sees room to improve against tougher adversaries.
Daily Grind & Timing
This player knows his hours—delivering peak performance around late evening hours, especially at 21:00 with over 60% win rate. Perhaps Pablo is a night owl strategist, brewing combos under the stars. We also suspect coffee consumption directly correlates to his 100% win rate at 10:00 AM (for science!).
The Legend Behind The Name
Barriochess isn’t just a username; it’s a statement. It reflects a player who’s as approachable as he is formidable: no flashy titles needed, just cold calculation, fierce resolve, and a love for the beautiful game. A player who turns every game into his own little battlefield, and every opponent into a story to tell.
Keep an eye on Pablo Barrionuevo: the International Master whose name is destined to echo in chess clubs and online arenas for years to come.
