Sebastian Hernandez (aka Sebas713)

Sebastian Hernandez, known online as Sebas713, is a chess player whose journey resembles a rollercoaster ride through the chessboard — full of surprising twists, occasional tumbles, and those glorious triumphant moments that make all the struggle worthwhile.

Starting off his chess adventures with rapid and daily games, Sebastian quickly realized his preferred battlefield lies in the fast-paced chaos of Bullet chess, where reflexes matter just as much as strategy. Despite some early struggles (zero wins in his very first blitz month in 2021), Sebastian showed remarkable persistence. His peak Blitz and Bullet ratings hover around the millennium mark — respectable for anyone who knows that sometimes, your pawns just refuse to cooperate.

Known for a psychological tilt factor of 11 (which basically means he’s human after all), and a penchant for ending games with an average of about 48 moves when winning, Sebastian’s style balances grit with tactical awareness. His comeback rate is a whopping 82.41%, proving that he’s never out of the fight no matter how grim the position looks.

Opening repertoire highlights:

• Blitz favorites: Scandinavian Defense, Queens Pawn Opening, Caro Kann Defense, and the intriguingly named Van't Kruijs Opening.
• Bullet specialists: Kings Pawn and Nimzowitsch Defense show strong results.
• Rapid & Daily: Ventures into more classical openings with varying success.

Sebastian’s games tend to feature early captures (average first capture around move 6) and frequent endgames (over 42% of his games do), showing patience and a love for the strategic battlefield. He also tends to resign early about 9% of the time, which chess purists might call prudent, and others might call “knowing when to call it an epic battle lost.”

Fun fact:

Though Sebastian might not yet be the next Magnus Carlsen, his winning streak of 10 games and current streak of 1 win show a fighter's spirit that chess fans love. Plus, he’s had some incredible victories by resignation and on timeout, suggesting opponents sometimes just give up before he even finishes the job!

Recent highlights:

One of Sebastian’s most recent games showcased his attacking flair in the Van-Geet Opening Reversed Nimzowitsch Variation, winning spectacularly on time after a tense struggle (
). It’s clear that this player thrives in dynamic and complex positions where every second counts!

Opponents beware: his toughest nemeses include “drudruski” and “draggedqueen,” yet Sebastian has some sweet revenge wins against them, hinting at a promising chess career ahead.

Sebastian’s peak ratings remain firmly in the beginner to intermediate territory — a badge of honor showing that he’s still climbing, learning, and occasionally, charming the chess gods. He's the kind of player who will lose a game, have a cup of coffee, then be back at the board ready to outwit you.
