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.

Match Highlights

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.
