Mariano Mayans Calvo (aka Eivissa)

Candidate Master Extraordinaire

Meet Mariano Mayans Calvo, a Candidate Master wielding the chessboard like a seasoned wizard with a knack for rapid-fire bullet games and commanding blitz battles. If chess was a theatrical performance, Mariano would be the lead actor who occasionally forgets the lines but dazzles with improv brilliance.

Rating & Playing Style

With a peak bullet rating soaring impressively to 2686 in March 2025 and a blitz peak of 2516 shortly before, Mariano thrives in lightning-fast encounters. His rapid rating, while humbler at 2010, shows his ability to adapt and bring crushing checkmates in fewer moves when the clock allows.

Mariano’s style is a cocktail of stubborn endurance and tactical flair: nearly 83% endgame frequency suggests a fondness for long duels where every pawn push counts. Average moves per win (73!) reveal a patience that could rival a Zen master, while his comeback rate above 85% proves he’s not easily rattled — no tilt here, just calm, calculated chess combat.

Opening Arsenal: Secrets and Surprises

He loves a good mystery—“Top Secret” openings dominate his play with nearly 550 games in bullet alone. Beyond this, he favors the Caro-Kann Defense, the Closed Sicilian Defense Grand Prix Attack, and even the trusty Scandinavian Defense. His win rates near 55-58% for these lines make opponents wonder if they’re playing a grandmaster or a grand magician.

Match Highlights

Mariano recently checkmated opponents across multiple time controls, often transforming seemingly quiet positions into victory fireworks. His recent bullet matches show a healthy win/loss ratio with sharp focus and zero draws in November 2024, evolving to over 2500 rating territory with 60+% win rates by mid-2025. When things look tough, Mariano’s comeback rate of 85% means you can count on unexpected twists.

Psychology and Quirks

His best playing hour? The mystical 3 AM slot—because why play chess when you can own the board while others dream? With a tilt factor of just 10, Mariano keeps emotions in check while cunningly attacking. And a confession: occasionally, a resignation might slip in (0.42 early resignation rate), but mostly, he fights tooth and nail until the very end.

Fierce Competitor & Community Player

He’s engaged with a broad spectrum of opponents, from internet legends to everyday knights. Some rivals succumb 100% of the time, while others keep him on his toes. Mariano knows every nuance of his strengths and weaknesses, making him a tough nut to crack and a respected combatant on any digital battlefield.
