Profile Summary: fuegomex
Meet fuegomex, a fiery competitor on the virtual 64 squares whose rapid rating journey resembles a rollercoaster at a chess theme park — highs soaring to a peak of 354 in May 2025, and plummets that keep the thrill alive. Fuegomex’s games are a lively blend of tactical fireworks, unyielding comebacks, and the occasional painful but poetic defeat, making every match an unpredictable spectacle.
Starting from modest beginnings in mid-2024, fuegomex has climbed steadily through the ranks of rapid chess, playing over 1,000 rapid games with a near-even win-loss record (440 wins to 432 losses), plus a sprinkle of draws that likely lasted just long enough for a coffee break. Blessed with a killer instinct in the opening—with a special fondness for the Alekhine’s Defense and the Bishop’s Opening Berlin Defense—fuegomex crafts aggressive and creative play styles that keep opponents guessing and often checkmated by move six. Yes, the infamous 6.Qxf7# is right at home here.
Fuegomex doesn’t just excel at rapid games; their blitz and daily ratings showcase flashes of brilliance, with a blitz peak of an astonishing 387 (from a single recorded game—talk about going big or going home) and a perfect 400 daily rating moment early on.
But it’s not all smooth sailing. Fuegomex’s psychological makeup adds delightful spice: known to tilt sometimes (tilt factor 8), but with an impressive comeback rate of 48%, they manage to claw back from the brink more often than not, much to the frustration of their opponents. Their average game lasts about 40 moves, which frankly is enough time to brew a strong cup of coffee—or plot a brilliant sacrifice.
Timing is everything: Fuegomex’s best hour to strike is around 1 PM sharp—so if you dare challenge, come ready at lunch. Mondays and Fridays are days of glory with win rates above 54%, while weekends require more caution.
Fuegomex’s recent victories include clinical checkmates using sharp openings and aggressive tactics, as they continue to engage many foes, some with near-perfect win rates (sorry laloovelezz, 100% loss rate to fuegomex). And opponents beware: this player has mastered the art of turning pieces lost into dazzling comebacks, punishing overconfidence with swift endgames.
