Leonardo Illas Pueyo - The FIDE Master known as "destruyeabuelitas"

Leonardo Illas Pueyo is no ordinary chess player—earning the prestigious title of FIDE Master is just the start of their story. With a username like destruyeabuelitas (Spanish for "grandma destroyer"), you know this player doesn't just play chess; they dominate the board with ruthless efficiency and a dash of cheeky humor.

This formidable strategist thrives under time pressure, boasting a peak bullet rating north of 2600 and a blitz peak near 2480. With thousands of bullet games on record (almost 13,000!), Leonardo’s fingers are as fast as their tactical mind, and their win rate stubbornly refuses to drop below 53% in bullet chess—impressive given the frenetic pace of this format.

Known for an uncanny comeback rate of nearly 90% and a jaw-dropping 99.92% win rate after losing a piece, Leonardo embodies resilience and cunning. Opponents beware—a slight misstep and they're caught in a web woven from a brutal endgame strategy (used in over 84% of their games) and merciless precision.

Don’t mistake their serious chess skills for dullness; Leonardo plays with style and spirit. Averaging over 73 moves per win means marathon battles with plenty of suspense—and sometimes a dash of sweet victory dance (off camera, of course).

Playing mostly online, Leonardo's battlefield is Blitz and Bullet arenas where quick wit and speed rule. With a longest winning streak of 28 games, they've shown that "destruyeabuelitas" is no empty threat. Every grandmaster was once a beginner, but Leonardo seems to have sprinted past the competition right from the start.

When not rattling the chessboard, Leonardo is likely pondering the funniest chess memes or brewing a perfect cup of coffee—because, after all, even machines need fuel to outwit humans.
