Pablo Rojas Ampuero - The Rapid Rook of the Chessboard

Known in the chess realm as PABLORO29, Pablo Rojas Ampuero is a rapid chess player whose rating has been a rollercoaster of determination and growth. Starting at a modest rating of 357 in late 2024, Pablo climbed to an impressive peak rapid rating of 462 by May 2025 – proving that patience and persistence (and maybe a few daring sacrifices) do pay off.

Playing Style & Personality

With an early resignation rate of just under 4%, Pablo doesn’t quit easily — unless maybe it’s to grab a snack. His games often stretch on with an average of around 55 moves to victory, and losses, when they happen, tend to drag even longer, showing he fights fiercely to the end.

He’s a master of comebacks too, boasting a strong ~71% comeback rate after setbacks, which shows a mind that refuses to throw in the towel, even after losing a piece. That resilience might be why his current longest winning streak sits at 6 games – a speedy streak worthy of a celebration dance.

Favorite Openings & Strategies

If you catch Pablo in the opening phase, expect a mix of classical and bold choices:

• Saragossa Opening: His personal favorite, with a spectacular 60.66% win rate over 61 games. Clearly, this opening gives him the confidence boost he needs.
• Sicilian Defense: Another shining star in his repertoire, with a robust 58.33% success.
• King’s Pawn Opening Variations: Whether it’s the Leonardis or Kings Knight Variation, PABLORO29 keeps opponents on their toes with nearly a 50% win rate.

He’s still working out the kinks in the Alekhine’s Defense, with a respectable 33.33% win rate, but let’s be honest — even Bobby Fischer probably lost some games now and then.

Battle Tested & Opponent Insights

Across hundreds of rapid games, Pablo holds a nearly even rapid record of 426 wins, 413 losses, and 52 draws, making his chess journey thrilling to watch and participate in.

Among his vast array of competitors, he has a 100% win record against some cheeky challengers like allin858477 and b_yig, but others like dmn817 and bojanatalijan prove to be formidable foes, reminding Pablo that the battle is never over until the king falls.

Time & Tactics

Pablo prefers to wage war in the afternoons and evenings, with a peak win rate close to 59% around 1 PM and strong performances between 8 and 9 PM, which is perfect chess-crushing prime time. His psychological tilt factor is modest at 7, which means losing a few games won’t send him packing — just maybe grumbling to himself about the next opponent.

Recent Highlights

His most recent victories include a crafty checkmate over callumcoffin210902 and winning on time against b_yig – proving he can win with brains or on the clock. His losses, though sometimes painful, serve as fuel for his next epic comeback.
