Guillermo Camacho Martínez (GCamachoMartinez)
FIDE Master of Blitz Battles and Tactical Wizardry
Guillermo Camacho Martínez—not just your average chess enthusiast but a true FIDE Master—has been dazzling opponents on the 64 squares with a razor-sharp mind and a knack for the unpredictable. Known online as GCamachoMartinez, this player’s blitz rating soared majestically to their peak at an astonishing 2715 in April 2025, proving they can think fast and strike faster.
Starting from early clashes in 2017 with ratings around 2300, Guillermo’s chess journey resembles a rollercoaster of strategic wizardry, tactical comebacks, and an occasional dramatic tilt (hey, even masters have their days!). With over 5,000 blitz games under their belt, boasting a solid win rate just shy of 50%, Guillermo’s preferred battleground is the adrenaline-swollen blitz arena where quick decisions reign supreme.
Playing Style & Strengths
- Master of Endgames: Guillermo loves a long, drawn-out struggle, with an 83.6% endgame appearance rate—clearly someone who believes the game is never over until the kings officially shake hands (or get checkmated).
- Tactical Tenacity: With a comeback rate clocking in at an impressive 87.6%, don’t count them out after losing a piece! This player thrives in the chaos of the battlefield.
- Opening Secrets: While "Top Secret" is the name of Guillermo’s signature opening in blitz, he’s no stranger to classic lines like the Queen's Gambit Declined Ragozin Defense (75% win rate) and the tricky Petrov Defense.
- Early Resignation Rate: Less than 1%—Guillermo is in it for the long haul, rarely quitting early even if the tides turn against them.
The Stats That Speak
Over thousands of Blitz games played, Guillermo claims 2,573 wins against 2,179 losses—definitely not one's run-of-the-mill keyboard warrior. Bullet shows a respectable peak rating above 2150 and a solid win percentage, while rapid games remain more of a mysterious niche, with only a single recorded drawn game.
They enjoy playing the sharpest moments of the day, with a curious preference for 7 AM as their best time of day to bring their A-game. Be careful around that hour—this is when Guillermo’s brain is likely firing on all cylinders and the pawns start trembling.
Recent Triumph
One of Guillermo’s freshest victories came in May 2025 in a classic Nimzo-Indian battle where they convincingly forced their opponent to resign after a clever rook and knight dance across the board. When it comes to pressing the advantage, Guillermo knows exactly which buttons to push—and which pieces to sacrifice.
Fun Facts
- Longest Winning Streak: 13 games in a row (Because sometimes the stars align just right!)
- Tilt Factor: 9 (Yes, that means there are moments when the frustration meter hits the roof, but this makes victories even sweeter!)
- Win rates vary by weekday, with Fridays being the most successful day at nearly 54%.
In the ever-evolving battlefield of chess, Guillermo Camacho Martínez continues to sharpen tactics, surprise foes, and perhaps most importantly—keep that winning streak alive, one well-timed checkmate at a time.
