Ernesto Solana Suarez - The FIDE Master of the Blitz Arena
Known online as Heliotropador, Ernesto Solana Suarez is a force to be reckoned with on the chessboard. Awarded the esteemed FIDE Master title, they have mastered the art of rapid and blitz chess with a style that's both strategic and unexpectedly poetic.
Starting from a modest 1013 rating in 2014, Ernesto's blitz prowess ascended dramatically, peaking at an impressive 2574 in February 2017 — faster than most grandmasters can say "checkmate." With over 27,000 blitz wins under their belt and a jaw-droppingly high win rate that often hovers above 90%, this player turns every bullet and blitz game into a thrilling mental sprint.
Ernesto's opening repertoire is as eclectic as it is effective. The Kings Pawn Opening Hippopotamus Defense is by far their signature move, boasting a win rate over 94% in blitz games — because who wouldn't want to face a hippopotamus on the battlefield? They also favor the Anderssen Opening with an awe-inspiring 95% win rate, proving their classical tastes still reign supreme amidst lightning-fast matches.
When it comes to bullet chess, their style is no less impressive, dispatching opponents with a deadly mix of speed and precision, peaking at a 2136 rating. Though their rapid and daily games are fewer in number, each is played with the same commitment and eye for tactical beauty, peaking at 1534 and 2250 respectively.
Ever the tactician, Ernesto often employs an average of 61 moves per victory in blitz — because why finish early when you can deliver a grand performance? Their psychological resilience is legendary, boasting a 77.28% comeback rate when down, and an almost intimidating 89.18% win rate after losing a piece. Talk about turning lemons into perfectly timed forks!
Off the board, their opponents' sessions are like detailed chronicles of victories and occasional humorous missteps — a true chess maestro with a sense of humor and a fighting spirit.
