Rating & Performance
Starting with a modest blitz rating hovering in the 1400s back in 2013, Luis Miguel’s blitz prowess skyrocketed, achieving a peak rating of 2267 in February 2022, a number that reflects his fierce dedication to the rapid and furious format where intuition meets speed.

Playing Style
With an average moves per win perched around 80, Luis Miguel is no quick-finish artist. Instead, he loves to build tension, sweat out the endgame (which happens in over 86% of his games!), and let the drama unfold gradually. His winning chances are best under the spotlight — the prime time for him is 8 AM, proving that it’s never too early for a good fight on the board.
The nickname “Comeback Kid” is fitting with a comeback rate of over 85%, meaning if Luis Miguel loses material early, don’t count him out just yet. He’s got a sneaky knack for flipping tables and turning losses into epic victories. Opponents beware: when you think you’ve got him cornered, that’s when the real fireworks begin!
