Mauricio Uribe (aka "Marranos")

International Master - The Bullet Blitzer Extraordinaire

Mauricio Uribe, known in the chess world as "Marranos," is a formidable chess player who carries the prestigious title of International Master awarded by FIDE. But don't be fooled by titles alone — this player is a whirlwind on the board, especially in the fast-paced realms of Bullet and Blitz chess.

Rating and Style

Over the years, Mauricio has consistently demonstrated remarkable skill. In 2020, they peaked with a blitz rating soaring to an impressive 2830 — basically, chess on turbo speed! Their bullet ratings hover around the 2400 mark, proving that lightning-fast moves and sharp tactics are their game.

When it comes to strategy, Mauricio’s style could be described as patient chaos: they average over 70 moves per win, showing a love for lengthy battles and complex endgames (81.7% frequency, in fact). An early resignation rate of just 0.44% indicates they rarely throw in the towel — if you face them, expect a fight to the bitter end! Fun fact: their win rate playing white is 57%, so if you get the black pieces against Mauricio, hope for a miracle.

Tactical Dynamo

Mauricio’s tactical awareness borders on the supernatural. They have an astounding 87.3% comeback rate — losing a piece? No problem, they bounce back and win 100% of games after such setbacks. That’s a true embodiment of the phrase “when life gives you pawns, make a queen.”

Competitor & Opponents

With nearly 20,000 bullet games played, Mauricio has collected over 4,800 wins — enough to rival some grandmasters in volume. Opponents beware: their longest winning streak is 13 games, and they’re currently on a 5-win streak. Some of their favorite sparring partners include "supercheese," "suleyman_chess06," and "geniusofchess228" — and with a 100% win rate against "suleyman_chess06", they clearly don’t like to share the spotlight.

Psychological Mojo

Despite being a fierce competitor, Mauricio has a tilt factor of 9, meaning the frustration meter occasionally goes up (hey, who doesn't when your opponent pulls a sneaky queen sacrifice?). They also tend to shine more in rated games than casual ones, indicating a true competitive spirit.

In Summary

Mauricio Uribe is the quintessential speed chess gladiator — a blend of tenacity, tactical brilliance, and sheer endurance. Whether blitzing through a game in 3 minutes or grinding through a 70+ move marathon, they keep an opponent’s mind on high alert. If you find yourself up against Mauricio in a bullet or blitz game, don’t blink — or you might just lose your queen and your dignity.
