Roberto Navarro Segura - International Master of the Chessboard
Meet Roberto Navarro Segura, an International Master who has battled countless pawns, knights, and queens with a swagger reminiscent of a grandmaster and a dash of a cheeky chess jester. Known to some simply as "Chesster2500," Roberto’s journey through the ranks reads like an epic novel — with slightly fewer dragons but definitely more knights and forks.
Born to captivate the chess world, Roberto earned the prestigious International Master title from FIDE, donning his crown with pride while his opponents nervously googled “how to stop a fork.” With a bullet peak rating flirting with the low 2100s, a blitz peak over 2200, and rapid rating highs brushing past 2300, Roberto clearly moves at lightning speed both mentally and literally on the clock.
Fun fact: Roberto’s longest winning streak is an impressive 15 games, proving he’s not just a flash in the pan but a blazing streak of tactical genius. His psychological resilience is no joke either, with a comeback win rate soaring over 84%, and a flawless 100% win rate after losing a piece — talk about turning lemons into rook and roll!
His play style leans heavily on deep endgame knowledge and patience, averaging over 67 moves per win, meaning he likes to nibble away at opponents like a patient chess chef perfecting his gumbo — slow, deliberate, and absolutely deliciously effective.
Roberto prefers the mysterious and effective "Top Secret" opening (which we suspect might just be a sly use of the Ruy Lopez, or maybe a hint that he keeps his most potent lines under wraps). His win rates across all paces hover comfortably above 54%, with rapid play shining brightest at around 57%, making him a formidable foe whether it’s lightning-fast bullet or thoughtful rapid games.
Off the board, Roberto’s been spotted engaging in friendly rivalries, clocking up hundreds of games and wins with opponents like cyprien, medmot, and pablo_dmp — proving that even in defeat or victory, his spirit is unbreakable (unless it’s bullet, where a certain “Tilt Factor” of 11 hints he’s human after all).
Whether it's a quiet Monday morning blitz or a Saturday rapid showdown, Roberto’s performance ticks upward, with his best moves coming right around noon when the coffee kicks in and his brain switches to unstoppable mode.
