Mauricio Jimenez - International Master

Mauricio Jimenez, or as his online fans know him, mauriciojimenez24, is an International Master who treats the chessboard like a battleground where every pawn fears for its life. His reputation is built not just on skill, but on a streak of victories that would make even Magnus Carlsen blink twice—his longest winning streak? A jaw-dropping 14 games in a row. Talk about a hot streak!

Mauricio's rapid chess prowess is nothing short of spectacular, boasting a near-flawless record with 5 wins and a single draw out of 6 games in 2020, peaking at a rapid rating of 2419. Blitz? Oh, he's a whirlwind with over 3,000 wins and a max blitz rating creeping tantalizingly close to 2500. He's blitzing opponents left and right with a cool 52% win rate, which is all the more impressive given the speed chess chaos.

Known affectionately by his foes for his psychological resilience, Mauricio boasts a comeback rate close to 93%, and get this—he wins every single game after losing a piece. Yes, every single one. Clearly, no blunder can dim his fire, which says something about his nerves of steel (and possibly a bit of wizardry).

His style is a marathon, not a sprint, averaging 80 moves per win, proving he's not just about flashy openings but grinding down opponents into submission deep into the endgame, which he frequents at an impressive 83% rate.

Day or night, Mauricio is ready. His peak playing hours vary from dawn’s earliest whispers (where he dominates with a 73% win rate at 6 AM) to the magical after-midnight hours. You might say he’s the chessboard's night owl or early bird—whichever side wins more games!

Opponents beware! Mauricio has triumphed over many, with several old rivals never managing to claim victory against him (“tigarce” and “hipponous” might have to train a bit harder). Yet, not everyone escapes unscathed—he grants mercy sparingly.

Whether on their feet or sitting down, Mauricio Jimenez makes chess look like a dance—sometimes a vigorous tango of tactics, sometimes a slow waltz into the endgame. One thing's for sure: with his sharp mind and fierce determination, calling him “just a player” would be a checkmate-worthy understatement.
