Camilo Ernesto Gomez Garrido: The Grandmaster Extraordinaire
Meet Camilo Ernesto Gomez Garrido, also known by the online moniker relaxx87, a chess Grandmaster who could probably give your queen a complex. Earning the celebrated title of Grandmaster from FIDE, Camilo’s journey on the 64-square battlefield has been nothing short of a rollercoaster—complete with soaring peaks, strategic thrills, and a dash of humor.
Rising Through the Ranks
Starting modestly at a blitz rating barely over 1700 back in 2017, Camilo exploded onto the scene with a peak blitz rating of 2835 in March 2019, a feat that makes most mortals hide their chessboards in shame. Not to be outdone, the bullet chess realm saw Camilo reach a scorching 2655 rating in early 2025.
Playing Style: The Art of the Comeback
Known for an 82.57% comeback rate, Camilo is the kind of player who thrives even when the odds are stacked against them—losing a piece doesn’t mean losing the game. With a penchant for long, strategic battles (average 77 moves to win!), and a psychological tilt factor as low as 6, this Grandmaster stays cool even when the clock ticks mercilessly.
Warfare on the Digital Board
With over 560 blitz wins and 150 bullet wins, Camilo dominates "Top Secret" openings (shhh… it’s confidential). His win rate hovers solidly above 57% in blitz and nearly 62% in bullet — proving speed and precision can be a lethal combo. And yes, opponents beware: against some, Camilo boasts a perfect 100% win rate, including well-known usernames such as david_paravyan and megamrd.
Peak Moments and Quirks
- Longest winning streak: 21 games (someone get this person a trophy!)
- Best time of day to face Camilo: 4:00 AM (Why so early? Coffee powers!)
- Most friendly day: Monday, when the win rate hits a refreshing 66.67%
- Signs of humility: Resigns games early only around 8.3% of the time.
Most Memorable Recent Game
In a recent blitz match on February 4, 2025, playing white, Camilo showcased his razor-sharp skills, locking horns in a classic Ruy Lopez Berlin Defense with MarCorJ. After a strategic exchange sequence and some clever maneuvering, Camilo clinched victory by resignation. Capturing the essence of his style — grace under pressure — he made complex positions look like a stroll in the park. Watch the game here.
Quips from the Board
Camilo's record speaks volumes, but so do his statistics: rarely defeated by losing a piece, rarely trembling during a tough game—except maybe when the coffee runs out. Calm, calculated, and occasionally a bit cheeky, he’s the player who might give you a lesson and then remind you that chess is all about having fun (and crushing the opponent).
Whether blitz or bullet, Camilo Ernesto Gomez Garrido approaches every game with the heart of a champion and the strategy of a master tactician. Opponents, beware—you’re up against a true chess wizard.
Hola Camilo Ernesto Gómez Garrido!
Gracias por compartir tus partidas más recientes. A continuación encontrarás comentarios puntuales y un plan de trabajo de 4 semanas para que sigas progresando.
Resumen actual
- Pico de rating Blitz: 2835 (2019-03-24)
- Repertorio principal con blancas: Ruy López (4.d3) y variantes anti-Siciliana (Bb5/Bxd7).
- Repertorio principal con negras: 1…e5, Sicilianas Moscú/Canal y Francesa Tarrasch.
Fortalezas notables
- Comprensión de esquemas en la Ruy López: El plan a4–a5 y la presión en la columna a te dio el punto completo en tu última victoria.
- Iniciativa táctica: No dudas en entregar peones por actividad (Qxb7, Qxc6, etc.).
- Rapidez visual bajo presión: Tus combinaciones finales sueles ejecutarlas con precisión cuando ya ves el mate o la ganancia decisiva.
Áreas de mejora prioritarias
- Gestión del tiempo: 4 de las 5 derrotas recientes fueron por bandera en posiciones defendibles. Practica con control 5 + 5 o 3 + 2 y usa el incremento para “respirar”.
- Seguridad del rey y empujes prematuros de peones: En la derrota ante Kristjan_Fidelius forzaste …h5 …g5 antes de enrocar largo o completar desarrollo. Aplica la regla de “tres piezas desarrolladas antes de abrir columnas contra tu propio rey”.
- Técnica de finales: Contra BeneCyrill perdiste un final de torre con peón de ventaja. Repasa finales fundamentales (Lucena, Philidor, cortes en la columna b y g).
- Conversión de ventaja: Cuando lideras el marcador material, desarrolla un “modo contención”: simplifica atacantes enemigos, coloca tus piezas detrás de passed pawn propios y evita contra-tácticas.
Plan de entrenamiento – Próximas 4 semanas
- Semana 1 – Gestión del reloj: Anota cada posición en la que tu tiempo bajó de 30 segundos y explica por qué dudaste. Trabaja la rutina “Spot-Check-Move” (verificar amenazas, chequear táctica, mover).
- Semana 2 – Afinar repertorio: Como negro frente a 1.e4 revisa líneas sólidas sin empujes arriesgados (p.e. 7…h6 en la Italiana en lugar de 7…g5). Crea un archivo PGN con tus líneas favoritas y actualízalo tras cada sesión.
- Semana 3 – Finales de torre: 15 min diarios de estudios de finales con lenguaje de tríangulos, zugzwang y cortes. Apunta al menos 3 posiciones modelo.
- Semana 4 – Control con incremento: Juega 10 partidas 5 + 5. Objetivo: terminar cada movimiento con ≥ 10 segundos en el reloj. Revisa soltando el motor y enfocándote en por qué elegiste cada jugada.
