Néstor Cofré Archibold (ncofre98)
FIDE Master Extraordinaire
Meet Néstor Cofré Archibold, the FIDE Master whose chessboard maneuvers could easily warrant a spy thriller. Known to peers by his username ncofre98, Néstor has consistently dazzled the chess world with a versatile playing style that blends tactical brilliance, resilience, and a flair for the dramatic.
Rapid, Blitz, and Bullet Maestro
Since 2022, Néstor has been blazing through games at lightning speed. His bullet rating rocketed from 1727 up to an astonishing peak of 2723 in 2024, cementing his status as a fearsome competitor in the fastest time controls. Blitz is officially his playground, where he's achieved an intoxicating max rating of 2771 in 2025, winning nearly as many games as he loses but never losing his cool. Rapid and daily games also reveal a methodical strategist who knows when slow and steady wins the race—although he certainly proves he's no slouch in those formats either.
Openings: The Secret Weapons
Néstor’s repertoire reads like an enigma wrapped in a mystery inside a Sicilian Defense. From the Top Secret opening (which he’s mysteriously deployed 313 times in blitz) to the dynamic Sicilian Defense Nyezhmetdinov Rossolimo Attack, where he boasts over 54% wins, he knows how to keep opponents guessing and gasping. His bullet games feature a perfect 100% win rate with the Sicilian Defense Hyperaccelerated Dragon Variation, suggesting opponents might want to avoid playing him in Blitz at all costs.
A Streak That Would Make a Streaker Proud
Néstor once went on a winning streak of 19 games. That’s right, nineteen! That’s the kind of streak where even the chess gods have to take a break and watch in awe. Of course, every champion has their off days – his tilt factor of 11 means he’s human after all, though his comebacks are legendary and he bounces back with 88.5% success after tough spots.
Stats and Fun Facts
- Average moves per win hover around 77, so Néstor likes to tell a good story in every game.
- Comes back from losing pieces with 100% win rate—maybe he’s got a magic chess wand hidden somewhere?
- Plays best in the early afternoon hours (especially 1 PM with an 83% win rate!), perfect for lunch breaks and afternoon coffee boosts.
Psychology and Play
Despite a tiny tendency to resign early (only 1.29%), Néstor’s endgame frequency is impressively high (nearly 79%), showing a fighter’s heart and nerves of steel. His slightly better results with White pieces (52.09% wins) and solid showings with Black prove he’s no one-trick pony.
Whether blitzing through the ranks or plotting multi-move combinations, Néstor Cofré Archibold is a player who embodies passion, skill, and just the right amount of mystery to keep the chess world glued to his every move. If chess were a party, Néstor would be the one challenging you to a duel on the dance floor—quick, exciting, and impossible to ignore.
