Peter Fuentes (Tangua27) - The Chess Comedian

Meet Peter Fuentes, better known in the chess world as Tangua27, a player whose games are as unpredictable as Monday morning coffee. With a peak blitz rating of 943 and a daily rating soaring over 1100, Peter has shown he’s no stranger to the chess battlefield — even if his opponents sometimes wonder if they've just been pranked.

Peter's style? A delightful blend of tenacity and occasional tactical surprises, featuring a penchant for the King's Pawn Opening Leonardis Variation, where he holds a respectable 53% win rate in blitz — proving he knows how to kick off a game with style. His favorite defenses include the Philidor Defense and Petrov’s Defense, though sometimes his Scandinavian Defense ventures a bit off-guard with a win rate hovering around 42%. But hey, even champions stumble upon wild openings now and then!

Although Peter's blitz stats include nearly a thousand battles fought (906 wins to 965 losses with a sprinkle of draws), it's the epic stories behind those numbers that truly impress. He boasts a remarkable 12-game winning streak at one point, balanced by a humbling 18-game losing streak — chess is a rollercoaster and Peter's riding it with a smile. Perhaps his secret weapon is a whopping comeback rate of 75%, meaning when things look bleak, he’s the Houdini of the 64 squares.

Playing Tendencies and Style

• Early Resignation Rate: A modest 2.13%, indicating Peter isn’t a quitter — he fights until the very end or the coffee runs out.
• Endgame Specialist: Appearing in nearly 68% of his games, proving that if you want to test him, just survive the middle game and dive deep!
• Average Game Length: Wins last about 51 moves, losses stretch to nearly 74 moves — guess Peter enjoys a challenging journey, win or lose.
• Psychological Quirks: With a tilt factor of 18, expect some fiery moments; luckily, his best time to play is bright and early at 5:00 AM — early bird or just an insomniac?

Tactical Awareness

When Peter loses a piece, he doesn't go down without a fight. With a 40% win rate after losing material and a 3% rate of one-sided losses, it’s clear he’s an opportunist who sees potential in chaos.

Performance Against Opponents

Facing a variety of opponents, Peter shows an eclectic record. For example, against mthbrb, he's got a flawless 100% win rate, and against cembalo, a confident 75%. On the other hand, some like hasanup70 and mahmoud_000 have had the upper hand so far. But don't let these few setbacks fool you; Peter’s unpredictable openings and resilience make him a wild card in every match.

Recent Adventures on the Board

Peter recently claimed victory in a thrilling game using the Pirc Defense, outwitting mthbrb in a long battle that ended with a resignation — proving once again that patience is a virtue. You can nearly hear Peter chuckling at his own clever maneuvers!
