Luis Fernando Corredor (aka ETMasterL)

Meet Luis Fernando Corredor, a Candidate Master from the prestigious halls of FIDE – a title that says, “I know what I'm doing on the chessboard,” even if his opponents sometimes beg to differ! Known in the chess circles as ETMasterL, Luis combines disciplined strategy with a dash of mischievous flair, making every game an entertaining battle of wits.

Rising Through the Ranks

Starting with a bullet rating hovering around 1900 in early 2019, Luis has been on a rocket-fueled climb ever since, peaking impressively at 2633 in bullet chess by mid-2025. If speed chess were a rollercoaster, Luis would be the one screaming joyfully in the front car. His blitz peak rating of 2533 and rapid peak pushing just over 1700 further demonstrate his versatility across time controls.

The Style and Stats that Speak Volumes

Endgame enthusiast? Check. With an 82.87% frequency of endgames, Luis doesn't just fight to survive the middlegame—he thrives when pieces start to clear out. Expect an average of 75 moves per win and slightly more in losses, proving his games are Marathon-worthy, not just sprints.

Psychologically resilient, he boasts a comeback rate north of 90%, which means if you knock him down, prepare to be knocked down yourself. On the flip side, he’s slightly notorious for a tilt factor of 13 – so watch your moves carefully, because once Luis is on tilt, things get spicier than a Sicilian Defense!

Opening Repertoire: A Mixed Bag of Tricks

Whether it’s the mysterious Modern Defense (Luis’s win rate here is a fierce 61.81% in bullet!) or his trusty Catalan Opening Closed with over 62% wins, he's a player who enjoys keeping opponents guessing. Luis’s love for Sicilian variations and English openings gives his games a dynamic flavor that often ends with his opponents scratching their heads — or resigning early.

Memorable Battles

Recent games show Luis handling pressure like a pro. In a thrilling battle against "ugetting" in June 2025, he cunningly maneuvered through a Nimzowitsch Defense with a calm and swift finish, winning on time after a tightly fought 41-move duel. Luis is no stranger to edging out victories with the clock as a stealthy ally.

Off the Board

When Luis isn’t busy checkmating foes or dodging tricky tactics, rumor has it he’s busy plotting his next opening surprise or perfecting the art of the knight fork. Legends say he once bluffed an opponent into blundering by staring intensely at the ceiling – it worked, because who can resist a focused mind with a touch of mystery?

In summary, Luis Fernando Corredor is not just a Candidate Master by title, but a master of entertaining chess warfare with enough grit and charm to keep spectators glued to their screens. Whether bullet, blitz, or rapid, ETMasterL plays chess like a thrilling storybook – full of twists, daring escapes, and checkmate happily ever afters.
