Luis Fernando Ibarra Chami - The Grandmaster of Speed and Strategy

Meet Luis Fernando Ibarra Chami, known in the online chess world by his username LuisIbarraCh. This Grandmaster by title from FIDE is a force to be reckoned with on the battlefield of 64 squares. With lightning-fast reflexes and a mind sharper than a freshly sharpened bishop, Luis has dazzled fans and foes alike with his precision and daring.

Specializing in rapid-fire time controls, Luis's prowess in bullet and blitz chess is a sight to behold. His peak bullet rating soared to a phenomenal 2960 in August 2022—close enough to make Magnus Carlsen sweat! In blitz, he peaked at an impressive 2898 in mid-2019, proving he’s no slouch when the seconds tick down.

Luis is also no stranger to the rapid chess arena, boasting a top rating near 2400, which makes casual players everywhere nervously double-check their openings. It should be noted, however, that Luis’s daily chess rating is a modest 767, probably reminding us all that even Grandmasters can have a lazy Sunday.

Behind those calculated moves lies a player who combines tactical brilliance with an almost surgical endgame technique—he finishes games with a stunningly high average of over 83 moves per win, showing patience and strategic depth. If a game is going to last a marathon, Luis is ready to keep pace and then some.

Luis’s style is not just about speed but resilience. His comeback rate—the ability to bounce back after losing a piece—is an astounding 89.5%. That’s right! If he loses material early, instead of crying over spilled pawns, he launches counterattacks with the ferocity of a knight jumping into the fray.

Ever the sportsman, Luis cherishes testing his skills against worthy opponents. Among his most played rivals are nguyenxi and fastchance, maintaining competitive and fiercely contested records.
