Profile: Luis Ignacio Rubio Mejia (aka Bengalas)
Meet Luis Ignacio Rubio Mejia, a cunning International Master who doesn’t just play chess — they practically breathe it. Earning the prestigious title from FIDE, Luis has dazzled opponents with a unique blend of tactical wizardry and psychological resilience, always ready for a comeback (they boast an impressive 92.86% comeback rate!).
With a mean average Blitz rating hovering near 2458 back in 2017 and a peak Bullet rating flirting with the mid-2200s, Luis isn't just fast on the clock but lightning quick in spotting weaknesses. Their playing style? More Endgame than Opening — 90.74% frequency — proving that the real magic happens when others start sweating on the 40th move! They also have an incredible 100% win rate after losing a piece, essentially turning blunders into masterstrokes.
Luis's record speaks volumes:
Bullet: 28 wins, 10 losses, and only 2 draws.
Blitz: 25 wins, 15 losses with a solid 43.9% win rate playing the mysterious “Top Secret” opening repertoire.
Rapid: More of a steady competitor here, yet still holding their ground with a respectable 27% win rate.
Opponents beware: Luis has 100% win rates against many recent challengers — a frightening streak of dominance that might even make their chessboard cry. And speaking of streaks, they once racked up an 11-game winning spree, currently active as well. Clearly, quitting early isn't in this player’s vocabulary (early resignation rate stands proudly at zero).
Off the board, Luis enjoys the thrill of beating opponents under pressure, clocking the highest win rates late in the evening (especially at 8 PM with 72.41%). They also seem to have found their lucky days on Sunday and Monday with a 100% and 66.67% win rate respectively. Maybe those are the perfect days to challenge them — but fair warning, coming out on top is no easy feat.
If you ever face Luis Ignacio Rubio Mejia over the board or online, prepare for a tricky and dynamic battle where every piece lost is just a setup for the next dazzling strike. After all, this isn’t just chess — it’s a show starring the one and only Bengalas!
