Miguel Angel Garavito Galindo - FIDE Master and Master of Blitz

Meet Miguel Angel Garavito Galindo, also known to the chess world (and his opponents) as ET_050673G. A proud FIDE Master, Miguel has danced his knights and bishops through thousands of rapid and blitz battles, often leaving opponents wondering if they've stumbled into a grandmaster’s lair disguised as a friendly game.

Apprenticed to the art of blitz, Miguel’s rating soared from a modest 1408 in 2011 to a blistering peak of 2442 by 2025. That's right — in just over a decade, he transformed from a humble pawn pusher into a renowned storm on the clock. Fueled by lightning-fast tactics and uncanny resilience, Miguel boasts a comeback rate of over 83%, proving that even when the chips are down, he has the heart (and the moves) to turn the tide.

Not your average player, Miguel is a strategist who doesn’t shy away from long duels: his average winning game runs an impressive 68 moves, a testament to his marathon stamina and love for deep endgames. While some lose their grip under pressure, Miguel's "win after losing a piece" rate proudly stands at 100% — a testament to his uncanny ability to snatch victory from the jaws of material defeat. It's almost as if he’s got a secret piece up his sleeve... or maybe a second life.

In blitz, Miguel’s record teeters on the razor’s edge with 1321 wins, 1368 losses, and 122 draws—because hey, even the best have their off days. When it comes to rapid, though, he turns up the heat, collecting victories with a nearly 70% win rate. And let’s not forget his perfect score in bullet chess, where lightning reflexes and nerves of steel reign supreme.

Miguel’s triumphs aren't just numbers — his foes like romandos36759, drakensfz, and fspoon64 have all tasted defeat at his hands, while he’s currently riding a stylish five-game winning streak. He's no stranger to psychological warfare either, possessing a tilt factor of just 8 out of 100, meaning he’s more Zen master than hothead.

Whether playing as White or Black, Miguel commands the board with subtle precision: a 51% win rate when starting with the white pieces and a respectable 44% when wielding the dark army. Not one for early surrenders, only 0.36% of his games end prematurely against him, showing he battles to the bitter end.

When Miguel isn’t fritzing his opponents in bullet or blitz, he enjoys exploring the mysterious world of “Top Secret” openings — which must be why his overall blitz win rate hovers around a sharp 47%. Or maybe the secret is just being enigmatic enough to keep everyone guessing!

Fun fact: His best hour on the clock is 20:00 (8 PM), when his win rate skyrockets to a dazzling 56.67%! Late-night blitz sessions clearly fuel his tactical wizardry.

Miguel Angel Garavito Galindo isn’t just a chess player; he’s a resilient gladiator of 64 squares, armed with wit, grit, and a secret sauce that keeps opponents scrambling for counterplay. Watch closely when you face him—you might just witness a blitz miracle in the making.
