The Calm Name on the Speed Chess Clock
Enrique Biedma Martin plays under the username Krishnamurti3, which suggests a thoughtful philosopher, a spiritual guide, or at least someone who meditates between moves. The data suggests otherwise: this FIDE Master has played more than 28,000 logged online games and treats the chess clock like a fire alarm that just ate a family-sized espresso.
He is a titled FIDE Master, but his real home is the online arena. The platform data says his preferred time control is bullet, a sport in which the only prayer is to think mostly before the game starts. In his bullet sample he still won 42 of 56 games in his busiest month, which is not a calm person thing to do.
For a view of the entire career without a dedicated rating section:
The Opening Book That Escaped the Librarian
His opening choices are a mix of a grandmaster notebook and a game of pin the name on the chess board. He has a real affection for the Döry Defense, and when he plays the black pieces he has invited centuries of Blackburne Shilling Gambit action. He also slips into Ruy Lopez closed lines often, apparently because the ordinary Spanish punishment is not chaotic enough.
He likes d4 as white by a country mile. One representative little setup appears around the Grunfeld family:
. If you stare at the full chart, be prepared to laugh:The “book” is broad, varied, and occasionally in languages of its own, but it works because he plays fast and gives his opponent little time to object.
Rivals, Partners and Repeat Customers
Every serious online player needs rivals, and Krishnamurti3 has collected a few. Alan Stein has played him 96 times and holds a comfortable lead, while Norman Weinstein has faced him 76 times. Meanwhile FastFaun can testify that the philosopher nickname is false advertising: Mark 39 of their meetings went to Enrique. These are the names that show up in the highlight reels, the losing streaks and the post-game eyes.
He also has a long losing streak of 11 games and a long winning streak of 13 games. When someone in the crowd asks whether he is a good player, the honest answer is both yes and oh no.
Numbers a Mad Scientist Might Accept
He once reached 2739 (2026-07-14) in his favorite game, but nobody knows exactly what that says except that the blitz pool is full. His comeback rate is reported at 87.6 percent, and after losing a piece he still steals a win 42.79 percent of the time, which is not super clear but is very online.
The quickest summary: he wins, he loses, he plays many, and he almost never draws without an argument. The endgames are also real, with most of his marathon games running beyond 70 moves. The calm name is a disguise, but the FIDE Master on the clock is the one smile when the flag falls.
