Rubén Domingo Núñez (aka Rutricks)
International Master (FIDE)
Rubén Domingo Núñez, better known online as Rutricks, is not your average chess player. Oh no, this International Master doesn’t just play chess — they practically dance with it! With a peak blitz rating soaring up to an electrifying 2875 and a bullet rating that once peaked at a formidable 2942, Rutricks proves that speed and precision are their best friends on the 64 squares.
Originating from the mystical land of rapid calculations and tactical wizardry, Rutricks has racked up thousands of games across all formats — from bullet firestorms to thoughtful rapid battles. Their win rates hover comfortably around 50% in blitz and bullet, but don’t let those numbers fool you; every win is hard-earned and every loss is promptly avenged.
Style & Stats
- Playing Style: Patient and resilient, with an average game stretching close to 79 moves when victorious. If you thought blitz was just a chaotic melee, watch Rutricks patiently squeeze the life out of you in the endgame — where they shine brightest with a stunning 81% endgame frequency.
- Comeback King: With a comeback rate of nearly 86%, Rutricks laughs at adversity and turns losing positions into winning masterpieces. Talk about mental strength!
- Opening Repertoire: Sometimes secretive, often tactical. The mysterious "Top Secret" opening collection accounts for over 3300 blitz games — you never quite know what’s coming when Rutricks sits down across the board.
- Fun Fact: Although they win most games by resignation or timeout, so if you leave your clock unattended, you might just gift them a victory!
Noteworthy Moments
In a recent memorable game, Rutricks displayed a sleek Modern Defense against a 2740-rated opponent, gracefully outmaneuvering their rival to win on time. The game was a rollercoaster of tension and clever positioning — a true showcase of their strategic mindset and nerves of steel.
Despite a recent couple of tough losses (because even heroes have off days), Rutricks remains a force to be reckoned with — their current playing streaks may have some hiccups, but with a longest winning streak of 16 games, any opponent should beware.
When to Watch
According to their psychological trends, the best time to catch Rutricks at their absolute peak? Early mornings around 7:00 AM. Early birds do get the worm — or in this case, the checkmate!

Feedback for Rubén Domingo Núñez
Rubén, you show great dedication and a solid understanding of chess fundamentals. Your recent games demonstrate good opening preparation, especially with the King’s Indian Defense setups and thematic pawn breaks like ...c5 and ...d6, which is excellent for controlling the center and creating counterplay.
Strengths
- Opening knowledge: You consistently develop pieces harmoniously and castle promptly, which gives you good king safety and solid middlegame positions.
- Active piece play: In your wins, you create dynamic play by seizing open files (e.g., rook lifts and pressure along open c- and d-files) and launching timely pawn breaks.
- Endgame technique: You have a good sense of converting small advantages in endgames, often pressuring weaknesses and activating your king effectively.
Areas to Improve
- Tactical vigilance: In some losses, your opponent capitalized on tactical oversights, including forks, pins, and back-rank weaknesses. Regular tactical training will help sharpen your calculation and pattern recognition.
- Time management: While you often win on time, working on pacing yourself during critical moments of the game can help avoid rushed decisions and potential blunders. Try to use your clock comfortably, saving enough time for complicated positions.
- Opening transitions: In a few games, particularly in sharp Sicilian lines, opponents gained advantage by exploiting small inaccuracies early on. Deepening your theoretical knowledge in those lines and understanding typical middlegame plans will strengthen your overall play.
Suggestions
- Incorporate a tactical puzzle routine daily to improve calculation speed and accuracy.
- Review annotated master games featuring your preferred openings to understand typical middlegame structures better.
- Analyze your losses focusing on moments where the position became unclear — looking for alternative moves and ideas to avoid repeated mistakes.
- Experiment with controlled time controls (e.g., 10+5 or 15+10) to practice deeper thinking in critical positions.
Keep up the great work! Consistent study and practice will continue to improve your chess skills. Feel free to reach out anytime for targeted advice or to analyze specific games together.
