Lisandro Fernandez Reyes - International Master Extraordinaire
Meet Lisandro Fernandez Reyes, known in the chess universe also as FERNANDEZL1983, an International Master who deftly maneuvers through the 64 squares with skill, wit, and a pinch of audacity. Since stepping into the blitz arena in 2013 with humble ratings around 1300-1400, Lisandro's journey has been nothing short of a remarkable rollercoaster — climbing to exhilarating peaks above 2700 in blitz, where many grandmasters only dream of venturing.
With a blitz win rate hovering just under 53%, this wizard of speed chess has played over 5,700 games in that lightning-fast time control alone, proving endurance and tenacity are his trusted allies. In rapid and bullet, his dominance is even more noticeable — boasting win rates of more than 77% in rapid and 55% in bullet. He’s one of those rare players who makes the phrase "blitz or bust" look effortlessly classy rather than frantic chaos.
Lisandro’s style? Oh, it’s a delightful cocktail of patience and precision. With an average game length of about 74 moves to victory, he clearly prefers to outthink rather than outrun his opponents. And should things go sideways, fear not — his comeback rate is a jaw-dropping 90%, with a perfect 100% win rate after losing a piece. So, if you ever think you have him on the ropes, think twice; this IM is a masterful phoenix who rises from tactical ashes.
Psychologically, he’s a chess equivalent of a Zen master with a tilt factor of just 8 — commendably calm under pressure, albeit with a slightly tough time turning casual games into rated points (-33.5 difference). We might guess that his serious business face is saved exclusively for the battlegrounds where every move counts.
Lisandro isn’t just a one-trick pony either — his endgames come up frequently, making up nearly 84% of his games, ensuring he outsmarts foes long after the queens have bowed out. His favored trick? Well, that’s top secret — but judging by his formidable records, it’s surely something lethal.
Off the board, Lisandro continues to keep chess enigmatic — a player beloved by fans for his consistent excellence and that unmistakable IM aura. Whether challenging lifelong rivals like hardgameforyou or weaving through rapid bullet storms, he’s always ready to face the next move with a knowing smirk.
So watch your back — against Lisandro Fernandez Reyes, the fight is always rigged in favor of the brilliant.
