Marcos Francisco Quesada Blanco (aka Marcoschess2000)
Meet Marcos Francisco Quesada Blanco, a chess warrior who’s been battling on the 64 squares since at least 2019, steadily ascending the rating ladder with the determination of a knight chasing a rogue pawn. Known online as Marcoschess2000, he has transformed from a humble beginner boasting a Daily rating around 1054 to a near-masterful player hitting a peak Daily rating of 1634 in 2025. Not bad for a player whose blitz rating soared above 2100 and bullet chess crowned him with a terrifying 2246 peak less than a year ago!
Career Highlights
- Bullet Rating Peak: A dazzling 2246 in May 2025 — clearly, Marcos knows how to make lightning-fast decisions under pressure!
- Rapid and Blitz Rating Highs: Ramped up to 2004 in Rapid and nearly 1950 in Blitz, showing versatility across time controls.
- Notorious Opening Prowess: Marcos has a frightening 100% win record with the "Undefined" opening (whatever secret sauce that is), and crushes it with the Queen’s Pawn Opening boasting an 87.3% win rate in Daily games. He also shows love for the King’s Pawn Opening with an 86.49% win rate — classic aggressive start, or maybe just seeing pawns where others see chaos?
Playing Style & Personality
Known for an early resignation rate of under 2.3%, Marcos doesn't throw in the towel lightly—unless maybe he's spotted your opponent already applying an unstoppable tactic. His average games swing between 65 and 68 moves, affirming that he’s a patient strategist who enjoys the long grind. He has a scary-high comeback rate of 76.44%, proving that even when the chips are down (and a piece is lost), Marcos is ready to turn the tables. Psychological tilt factor? A measly 23 out of 100 — basically unfazed by the usual game nerves, except maybe when the clock blinks 5 AM (his "best time of day to play"). Ideal time for conquering pawns, apparently!
Recent Performance
In his latest pièce de résistance on Chess.com, Marcos executed a swift and merciless checkmate against an opponent, playing the Bishop’s Opening Berlin Spielmann Attack like a pro. An 11-move checkmate that would make even Bobby Fischer nod in approval. Just days after, he showcased his endgame wizardry by delivering another checkmate in a Scandinavian Defense, demonstrating flexibility and tactical brilliance across varied openings.
The Opponent Chronicles
Marcos has faced a cavalcade of challengers from the casual to the competitive, showing excellent records against frequent opponents like aortegachess1 with an 87.68% win rate and silvioar with about half the battles going his way (49.21%). His win rates exhibit a fascinating trend: while he dominates players rated below him (72.21%), he struggles more against higher-rated adversaries, winning only 29.79% of such games. But hey, every grandmaster was once the underdog, right?
A Quirky Conclusion
Marcos Francisco Quesada Blanco proves that chess excellence can be accompanied by a dash of mystery (what is this “Top Secret” opening anyway?) and a whole lot of resilience. Whether blitzing through bullet games at a rapid-fire pace or patiently plotting in daily marathons, Marcoschess2000 reminds us all: it’s not just about the pieces you lose, but the comebacks you make. Watch out world, the knight is on the rise!
Keep your eyes on the clock and your queen safe—the game is just getting started.
