Pedro Espinosa: Candidate Master Extraordinaire
Pedro Espinosa, known in the digital chess realms as Mrlammy, is a formidable Candidate Master bestowed by FIDE. While the title might sound like the opening act before the grandmaster circus, Pedro takes it all with the seriousness of a king in check!
Rising Through the Ranks
From a modest blitz rating around 1500 in 2016, Pedro has rocketed into the stratosphere with a peak blitz rating of 2904 in February 2025. Not to be outdone, his bullet rating peaked impressively at 2907 in late 2024, proving he's not just swift but also cunning with the mouse finger.
Playing Style and Strengths
Pedro is not your typical one-move wonder. With an average of nearly 88 moves per win and a massive 84.6% endgame frequency, he loves the long game, sneaking victories after fierce battles. An 82.8% comeback rate is basically Pedro’s middle name – when the chips are down, expect some magical turns!
The Opening Arsenal
When Pedro hits the board, he doesn’t shy away from secrets. His favorite is the mysteriously labeled Top Secret opening, used in over 8500 blitz games (with a decent win rate of about 49%). Other crowd-pleasers in his bullet repertoire include the Slav Defense, King’s Indian Attack, and the Old Benoni Defense, where he flexes a pragmatic and aggressive edge with win rates often soaring above 60%.
Match Highlights & Rivalries
Behind the scenes, Pedro juggles games against famous opponents like CrossingTheStreet and BM_on_ICC. His win/loss/draw record is a sturdy testament: over 11,790 wins in bullet chess alone! Recent victories by checkmate show he's still deadly and creative, finishing games with style and finesse.
Outside the Board
Pedro plays his games mostly between 10 AM and 11 AM, besting opponents preferably on Sunday mornings – whether this is a strategic advantage or just when the coffee kicks in is anyone's guess. One certainty: Pedro doesn’t go down without a fight, with only a 2.98% one-sided loss rate. Even when tilted, he keeps his cool with a surprisingly mild 20% tilt factor, which means... he’s probably better at chess than dealing with Monday mornings!
The Legend Continues
With an inspiring playing streak of 55 wins, Pedro Espinosa is a chess gladiator of our era. Whether blitz, bullet, rapid, or daily, he keeps evolving, cracking openings, and bringing home the win. If chess history had a “Player to Watch” sign, it’d definitely point right at Mrlammy.
