Adán Rios Escobar - FIDE Master & Chess Enthusiast
Also known by the chess moniker Ducke13, Adán Rios Escobar is a dedicated and titled FIDE Master, who has navigated the battlegrounds of the 64 squares with a shrewd blend of tactical brilliance and psychological resilience. Starting their blitz journey with a modest rating around 1371 back in 2012, Adán swiftly climbed the ranks, peaking at an impressive 2514 rating in blitz by 2023. Not bad for someone who probably still loses track of the coffee cup while plotting their next queen sacrifice!
Adán’s greatest strength lies in blitz chess, where their average game count per year skyrocketed, showing true stamina and focus, despite a nearly equal split of wins and losses across a total of over 1900 games in that category. In bullet and rapid, Adán remains a fierce competitor, with well-above-average performances and a rapid win rate reflecting the mastery of quick decision-making, even if the occasional bullet game ends in a "Oops, blundered the king!" moment.
Known for an endgame frequency of 83.82%, Adán enjoys long, intellectually demanding battles where patience and precision win the day. Their remarkable come-back rate of 88.4% and win rate after losing a piece at 98.1% reveal a player who rarely throws in the towel—except maybe when the pizza delivery arrives mid-game.
The white pieces hold slightly more fortune for Adán with a 52.65% win rate, while the black pieces bring tactical challenges and thoughtful defense. Curiously, the earliest resignation rate is a humble 2.33%, so don’t expect many giveaways or early surrenders in Adán's games. Classical stubbornness, anyone?
Outside the raw numbers, Adán enjoys a variety of opponents from all corners of the chess world, with notable victories and few losses against some familiar rivals. Whether playing on Tuesday afternoon or at 11 AM sharp (a golden hour for Adán with nearly 79% win rate), the passion and commitment to chess shine bright.
Overall, Adán Rios Escobar’s chess story is one of perseverance, growth, and a little bit of good old-fashioned fun—because after all, what’s chess if not a serious game where it’s perfectly acceptable to laugh at your own blunders?
