Oscar Gerardo Sanchez Enriquez - International Master Extraordinaire

Oscar Gerardo Sanchez Enriquez, known in the chess world by the evocative username crazyluzhinTh3, is not your average chess player. Awarded the prestigious title of International Master by FIDE, Oscar has carved out a niche as a formidable tactician, a relentless competitor, and an occasional chess magician who might just convince you that the pieces have a mind of their own.

Chess Journey and Style

Starting humble with ratings in the low thousands, Oscar quickly skyrocketed through the ranks, reaching peak ratings of 2356 in Rapid, 2712 in Blitz, and an almost mythical 2838 in Bullet—a fast-paced domain where fingers move as swiftly as thoughts. His playstyle suggests a player who enjoys long, grueling battles with an impressive average of 75 moves per win and a knack for comebacks, boasting an 85.73% recovery rate after being in the red. Resignation is rare for Oscar, who tends to squeeze every bit of life from the endgame, wielding his pieces with surgical precision.

Opening Repertoire

Oscar keeps some of his strategies under wraps (Top Secret in Rapid with a 73.68% win rate!), but when he does reveal his cards, be ready for a rollercoaster. In Blitz, he confidently navigates the Pirc Defense (with various clever lines), the Sicilian Defense including the elusive Nyezhmetdinov Rossolimo Fianchetto Variation, and even throws in the English Opening Agincourt Defense for good measure. In Bullet, he's a master of surprises, capable of flawless victories with the Sicilian Defense and nimble maneuvers in the Nimzowitsch Defense Larsen Attack.

The Stats Whisperer

With over 1,300 recorded Blitz games under his belt and hundreds more in Bullet, Oscar’s win-loss-draw record reads like a grandmaster’s tale: 775 wins in Blitz alone, complemented by a solid 718 Bullet victories. He has faced a wide array of opponents, with some like nicolas_delacolina and worriedegg appearing more than 20 times each. His most recent battles include a confident win over En-Nesyriiiii by time-out and a sharp checkmate against Tim_ua2006 showcasing his attacking flair.

Notable Moments and Quirks

Oscar’s psychological resilience is noteworthy, sporting a modest tilt factor of 19, implying that while frustration visits occasionally, it rarely stays for tea. His best hours? Mornings and late afternoons, when his win rate peaks impressively at around 70% between 9:00 and 10:00 AM. An aficionado of long endgames, he’s like a marathon runner who never forgets the final sprint, always probing, calculating, and plotting deep into each chess battle.

Fun Fact

If you ever find yourself creaking under time pressure, beware: Oscar’s bullet games reveal a player who thrives when the clock is ticking down to the last millisecond. With peak Bullet ratings nudging near legendary status and a longest winning streak of 16 games, he’s the sort of opponent who can turn what looks like chaos into a symphony of checkmates.

In the vibrant tapestry of chess talents, Oscar Gerardo Sanchez Enriquez is a shimmering thread of skill, stamina, and subtle madness — a true "crazyluzhinTh3" in the best possible way.
