Hernando Gómez Roberto (aka Gorober)
Hernando Gómez Roberto, fondly known in chess circles as Gorober, is a dedicated chess enthusiast whose journey has been as dynamic as a well-played Sicilian Defense. Neither a grandmaster nor a grandmaster-yet, Hernando's rapid rating flirted with 1540 back in 2018, showcasing a spirited fight on the board. Although his ratings have seen some ups and downs—because who doesn’t love a good comeback story?—he’s proven to be a relentless competitor.
His blitz games have been a rollercoaster: from the 1350s down to the low 1100s, but then bouncing back with sheer determination and more than a thousand wins to his name. With a rapid win rate close to 49% in over 3,000 games, “Gorober” isn’t shy about launching tactical strikes, especially when playing his top-secret openings (literally—he’s not sharing those anytime soon).
Hernando is a true chess marathoner, averaging about 61 moves per win and even more in those nail-biting losses, proving he loves a deep battle and rarely resigns early—only about 0.79% of the time. When the going gets tough—like after losing a piece—he bounces back with an astonishing 100% win rate, making opponents wish they thought twice before snatching his pawn.
Psychologically, Hernando knows all too well what tilt means, clocking an 11 on the tilt factor scale, but that never dampens his spirit or his love for the game. Whether it's the quiet hours past midnight or the prime 8 PM blitz wars (where his win rate soars to nearly 60%), Hernando is always ready to duel on the 64 squares.
Off the board, Hernando is probably plotting his next eagle-eyed trap – so watch out and don’t get forked!
