Meet miguisan: A Rapid Climber with a Tactical Flair

Once upon a chessboard, there was miguisan – a chess player who turns the timeless 64 squares into their personal playground of strategy and surprise. Starting in 2022 with a modest rapid rating of 207 (okay, we all have humble beginnings), miguisan has soared to an impressive peak rapid rating of 951 in early 2025. Talk about a glow-up!

Playing Style & Strengths

Known for a snappy comeback rate of nearly 74%, miguisan refuses to throw in the towel without a fight, proving that losing a piece is just another setup for a dazzling counterattack (with a win rate after losing piece at 41.93%!). In fact, the average moves per win is around 60, but don't be fooled – some battles extend beyond 66 moves before victory or defeat. Endgame maestro? Quite possibly.

With a tactical awareness that can shame chess tacticians and an endgame frequency of nearly 65%, miguisan enjoys the long strategic battles that make chess such a beautiful game.

Signature Openings

When it comes to openings, miguisan shows a love-hate relationship with the classics and a clever edge in some less trodden paths:

• Kings Pawn Opening — A solid go-to with a respectable 50% win rate over 92 games.
• Scandinavian Defense Mieses Kotrc Variation — A favorite rup up with a sharp 60% win rate!
• Italian Game — Yeah, it's a bit tricky for miguisan at 29.85%, but hey, every warrior faces challenges!
• Giuoco Piano and Philidor Defense — Mix of success with some spicy tactics.

Rapid Fire and Beyond

While rapid is miguisan's preferred battleground, they have dabbled in bullet, blitz, and daily chess with varying success:

• Bullet: Peak rating of 562, proving quick reflexes but a delicate dance of wins and losses.
• Blitz: Fighting valiantly with a peak of 876, though the losses have been a tad higher here.
• Daily: Almost perfect record – fewer games but clean victories!

Psychological Profile

With a tilt factor of 9 (yes, they get frustrated, but who doesn’t?), miguisan’s best time to play is bright and early at 6 AM. Starting the day with a coffee and a killer chess session? That explains the magic! They tend to perform better against lower-rated opponents (win rate nearly 79%) but aren’t afraid to tango with the titans either.

Recent Battles of Glory

Taking a peek into miguisan’s latest thrilling victories reveals a keen grasp of Ruy Lopez and Scandinavian Defense, ending games both by resignation and checkmate. The last win? A beautiful resignation by the opponent after a masterful endgame on June 4, 2025.

Fun Fact

Miguisan's style screams: “I might resign early only 3% of the time, but I sure know how to stretch a fight and keep my opponents on their toes until the very last move.” Patience and persistence are their secret weapons.
