Rubén Ceñal Gutiérrez: The FIDE Master with a Knack for Tactical Drama

Meet Rubén Ceñal Gutiérrez, also known in the chess realms as Estudiaajedrez, a proud bearer of the prestigious FIDE Master title. Rubén’s journey on 64 squares reads like a thrilling novel filled with comebacks, lightning-fast calculations, and enough surprises to rattle even the calmest grandmaster.

Specializing primarily in rapid and blitz formats, Rubén has demonstrated an impressive flair for swift, tactical play. His rapid rating soared from a humble 1448 in early 2020 to a formidable 2100 by 2023, boasting an 82% win rate in his secret "favorite" openings. Blitz games are where Rubén truly shines, consistently topping the 2100 mark and dazzling opponents with an unbeaten 7-game streak in 2021. His longest winning streak? A classy nine-game rampage, proving he’s not just here to play but to conquer.

Not one to shy away from complexity, Rubén is known for his dogged determination and uncanny tactical awareness — sporting a comeback rate near a staggering 87% and a 100% win rate after losing a piece. When the going gets tough, Rubén doesn’t just hang in there; he pounces, confounding opponents who expect the game to slip away.

Always armed with a well-prepared opening repertoire shrouded in mystery (“Top Secret,” if you ask him), Rubén’s style favors deep endgames — with nearly three-quarters of his games featuring intense endgame battles stretching beyond 65 moves. It’s a marathon approach that pays off, especially when playing with the white pieces, where he boasts a cool 61% win rate.

Psychologically, Rubén keeps a relatively low tilt factor (just a 5 on the unpredictable chess emotion scale), which might explain why he performs best on Fridays — winning 73% of his games — as if the weekend vibe fuels his strategic genius. And rumor has it, if you challenge him at midnight or the witching hour, prepare for a 100% loss rate.

Against longtime friends and rivals like minikasparov2010 and peterthiel, Rubén maintains a spotless record — clearly, old foes beware! But no player is perfect; a 20% early resignation rate hints at his selective surrender moments (maybe just to keep the suspense alive).

All in all, Rubén Ceñal Gutiérrez isn’t just a FIDE Master in title — he's a master of the board’s theatrical highs and lows, combining tactical brilliance with a streak of tenacity (and maybe a dash of chess drama). Keep an eye on him; the Estudiaajedrez legend is just getting started!
