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.

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.

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.
