Luis Enrique Giron (MAKAFLAY)
Meet Luis Enrique Giron, the chess enthusiast whose rating graph looks like a thrilling rollercoaster — full of dramatic ups, downs, and the occasional loop-de-loop! Specializing in rapid games, Luis has shown remarkable resilience, bouncing back from tough losses with a staggering 75.42% comeback rate. If chess had a “never say die” award, he’d be a shoo-in.
Playing Style
Known for an endgame frequency over 50%, Luis prefers his chess battles lasting longer than most Netflix series, averaging around 51 moves per game regardless of the outcome. Unfortunately, Luis has a soft spot for early resignations (~10% of games), but hey, nobody’s perfect! His knack for tactics means that even after losing a piece, he's clinched victory more than 43% of the time. Proving that sometimes, it’s not about the pieces you lose but how dramatically you play the comeback.
Opening Repertoire
Luis’s rapid game openings read like a grandmaster’s travel diary through chess theory. He’s a fan of the King’s Pawn Opening and especially the King’s Knight Variation, where he holds a neat 50.75% win rate in 67 battles. His adventurous spirit leads him down the less-traveled roads too — dabbling with the Englund Gambit and the Scandinavian Defense. If you meet him in a game, expect a storm of creative opening choices!
Recent Highlights
On June 6, 2025, Luis showcased his mastery by delivering a charming checkmate using the Queen's Pawn Opening - Tartakower Variation. After a solid buildup, he sealed the deal with a ruthless queen strike at move 15. No mercy!
