Juan Alejandro Gutiérrez Carmona
FIDE Master & Chess Enthusiast Extraordinaire
Also known in the chess realm as FMCarmona, Juan Alejandro Gutiérrez Carmona is a seasoned FIDE Master who has battled the 64 squares with vigor and a strategic mind sharp enough to rival the sharpest bishops on the board.
With a blitz rating soaring above 2300 at his peak, Juan is no stranger to the fast-paced, adrenaline-pumping thrills of quick chess. Imagine facing an opponent so formidable that your pieces might as well be running a marathon! His blitz career started humbly back in 2014, with a rating near 1357, skyrocketing to an impressive 2351 by 2024 — talk about a glow-up.
But his talents don't stop there — this master tactician has demonstrated prowess in bullet (think: chess on caffeine), rapid, and classical formats, always keeping opponents on their toes. His bullet peak rating brushes 2200, rapid hovers near 2170, and he boasts a respectable win rate across all time controls, showing consistency and resilience.
Juan's playing style is a fascinating blend of endurance and flair: averaging around 72 moves whether he wins or loses, he’s clearly in for the long haul — or as some might say, he’s that friend who just won’t quit, no matter how tough the battle. His endgame frequency nearly hits 79%, which means he’s quite the chess marathoner, not just a sprinter.
His tactical awareness could be a chess coach's dream: an astounding 88.7% comeback rate and a 100% win rate after losing a piece! Clearly, Juan doesn’t just accept defeat; he rewrites the script. Honestly, losing a piece to Juan is almost like losing your keys: frustrating, but with a chance you’ll find them again – if you’re lucky.
Fun fact: Juan's longest recorded winning streak is 23 games. If chess were a soap opera, he’d be the character who somehow always pulls off the impossible. Currently, however, his winning streak rests at zero – everyone needs a break, right?
When not caught in the heat of tactical battles, Juan prefers to wage war on the boards of Thursday, Wednesday, and Monday evenings, where his win rates shine brightest.
Summing up Juan Alejandro Gutiérrez Carmona: a resilient strategist, a lightning-fast warrior, and perhaps the quintessential chess gladiator who’s equally comfortable under pressure or calmly outlasting his opponents. Ready your pieces — facing FMCarmona might just be your toughest challenge yet!
