Juan Camilo Torres (aka juanchesst)

Title: International Master (IM) certified by FIDE

Juan Camilo Torres, or simply juanchesst to the online chess world, is a blazing force on the 64 squares—a player whose blitz and bullet prowess could make even the fastest grandmasters break a sweat. Awarded the prestigious International Master title, Juan's chess journey is anything but slow and steady; it's a sprint punctuated by sharp tactics, endurance, and a dash of daring!

Playing Style & Stats

This player has an impeccable knack for the endgame, diving deep with an endgame frequency of 86.5% and averaging over 80 moves per win — clearly, Juan does not shy away from the marathon battles on the board.

Known for an incredible comeback rate of nearly 87% after losing a piece, Juan embodies resilience. And despite the occasional tilt (rated 8/10 on the tilt factor scale), this warrior remains a formidable opponent anytime, day or night—though oddly enough, their most effective hour on the clock is around 3 AM, meaning if you want a shot at beating them, maybe avoid late-night games!

Rating Highlights

Starting modestly in 2014 with bullet ratings around 1700, Juan turbocharged their way into the 2600s by 2024:

  • Peak Blitz Rating: 2723 (May 2024)
  • Peak Bullet Rating: 2701 (May 2024)
  • Consistently hovers around the 2600+ range in both blitz and bullet modes.

Record & Achievements

With a blitz win rate of approximately 56% when playing White and 50% as Black, Juan demonstrates solid performance regardless of color. The bullet statistics are even more fierce, sporting a win rate above 55% in that lightning format. Their longest winning streak? An electrifying 21 games, though they've also felt the sting of an 8-game losing stretch—chess drama, folks!

Opening Secrets

Juan’s record shows a love for Top Secret openings — secrecy is key when you don't want your opponents figuring you out! With thousands of games played, the record boasts a reliable success rate upwards of 52% in blitz and an impressive 55% in bullet formats.

Notable Games

In their latest battles, juanchesst has demonstrated cool nerves and tactical sharpness:

  • On December 14, 2024, clinched a win on time with the Trompowsky Attack, showing mastery of timing and pressure in complex positions.
  • Earlier that month, executed a smooth checkmate in a Queens’ Gambit Declined exchange, proving endgame expertise.

Personality & Fun Facts

Juan Camilo Torres is that rare blend of fierce competitor and strategic thinker who can both outplay and outwit. Their practical, relentless style means opponents often leave thinking, “Did I just get blitzed by a ninja with a chessboard?” Off the board, rumors say Juan might be fueled by a strange cocktail of coffee, midnight oil, and sheer stubbornness.

So whether it's bullet or blitz, Juan Camilo Torres is a name to remember—because chess isn’t just a game for them; it's a high-speed, high-stakes brain sport where every second counts and every move could be a masterpiece... or a hilarious blunder (because nobody's perfect, right?).
