Meet Gabriel Antonio Pace, or as the chessboard knows him, pacgab2. Born to confuse and conquer, Gabriel’s games are a thrilling rollercoaster of brilliance, blunders, and beautifully orchestrated chaos. With a peak rapid rating of 367 achieved in June 2025, and blistering blitz and bullet peaks of 380 and 353 respectively, he’s the kind of player who makes you wonder if chess is an art or a mildly wild sport.
