Julio Sadorra, aka SenseiJulio
Title: Grandmaster (FIDE)
Julio Sadorra - or SenseiJulio in the streaming world - is a Grandmaster who doesn't just play chess, but practically breathes it. When he's not dazzling opponents with his deep theoretical knowledge and tactical fireworks, he's streaming his games and sharing his love for the sixty-four squares with fans worldwide.
His blitz rating has seen some serious fireworks, peaking impressively at 2774 in April 2022, while his rapid and bullet play have also shown solid strength with ratings reaching beyond 2600 and 2500 respectively. His playing style? Expect gritty endgames, clever comebacks (with an 85% comeback success rate!), and a dash of psychological resilience—though sometimes the ever-so-human tilt sneaks in around 11%.
SenseiJulio's preferred battlegrounds include the English Opening (especially the Agincourt Defense), the Alapin Sicilian Defense, and various rich French Defense lines, proving he's as comfortable in positional maneuvering as in sharp tactical melees. Beware: his French Defense Classical Steinitz Boleslavsky Variation is a particularly thorny bush to navigate, boasting a win rate north of 65%!
When asked about his results, Julio’s record speaks volumes — with over a thousand wins in blitz alone and a playing history filled with fierce battles against top-tier opponents.
