When blitzing, he mixes it up with the Petrov’s Defense, boasting a strong 61.9% win rate, and the Queen’s Pawn Opening Horwitz Defense, where he’s a near 65% victor.

His games average around 55 moves per win, showing patience and a fighting spirit, though he’s not afraid to resign early (~12% early resignation rate) when the smoke signals indicate a lost cause.

Nahuel seems most comfortable and confident around noon, with a reported best playtime at 12:00.

Against equals or lower-rated opponents, well, let’s just say he keeps everyone on their toes.

His longest winning streak clocks at an impressive 8 games, but like any mortal, he’s had hurtful stretches with an equally long losing streak.

A Glimpse into Recent Battles

Recently, Nahuel clinched a victory by resignation against tonex13 in a tense French Defense battle that showcased his ability to seize initiative and never let go. In another rapid encounter, he triumphed over mikekellybundy with sharp, aggressive play in the King’s Pawn Opening.

But it’s not all smooth sailing — he faced a tough, abandoned game loss against f4thur23, reminding us that even the most tenacious warriors have days where the chessboard just isn't in their favor.
