Yuniesky Quesada - Grandmaster of Chess and Blitz Wizard

Hailing from the mysterious realm of the 64 squares, Yuniesky Quesada, also known in the virtual world as TenisMaster, is a chess Grandmaster who has danced elegantly with countless kings and queens on the battlefield of the chessboard. With the official FIDE title of Grandmaster proudly displayed, Yuniesky is a force to be reckoned with in rapid and blitz formats, crushing opponents with tactical blows and endgame wizardry.

Rating and Style

Achieving a peak blitz rating of 3020 in October 2024, Yuniesky reached a chess altitude where even pawns tremble. His rapid play has also been formidable, peaking at 2815, proving that speed and precision are his allies. Known for an extraordinary Comeback Rate of 88%, Yuniesky has turned seemingly lost battles into spectacular victories so often that it’s almost a superpower!

Not Just Speed, But Style

Averaging about 80 moves per win, Yuniesky loves a good marathon of strategy rather than short sharp bursts—unless it's blitz, where his razor-sharp instinct shines. He favors white slightly more (54.46% wins) but don’t let his black pieces fool you—nearly half the time, he wins with black too!

Opening Secrets

From humble beginnings with the Unknown Opening (where even he might sometimes not know what’s coming) to a top-secret weaponized repertoire boasting over 50% win rates, Yuniesky keeps his opponents guessing. His favorite trap? The Top Secret opening, which has netted him a solid 52% win rate in blitz games. When feeling classical, he dips into the Ruy Lopez Berlin Defense, proving he’s not just a speedster but a true chess connoisseur.

Record-Breaking Streaks & Rivalries

Yuniesky once rattled off an astonishing 29-game winning streak in blitz, probably convincing his opponents that black magic might be involved. Currently, he’s on a hot 3-win streak, ready to keep the heat on.

Among his fiercest and most frequent rivals are players like highflyingknowledge and alexrustemov, who have had their share of epic battles with our Grandmaster. Opponents beware: his win rate against l_u_r_p is an intimidating 96.47%—if you face him, best brush up on your openings!

The Latest Victory

In his most recent game, playing as White against Medzhyk in June 2025, Yuniesky unleashed the Sicilian Defense, Open Variation with a brilliant twist of 5.Bb5+ that shook the foundations of his opponent’s defense, culminating in a resignation after a relentless assault on the back ranks.

Fun Facts & Quirks

  • Known for a remarkably low early resignation rate of just 0.49%, Yuniesky fights on until the very end—because heroes don’t give up.
  • Favoring the hour of 11:00 AM for peak performance, he might just be the world's most punctual chess assassin.
  • His psychological tilt factor is 10, which means when things go south, it’s only mildly dramatic—most likely just a raised eyebrow.

Yuniesky Quesada is not just a player, but a legend in progress—pressing pieces, clock hands, and opponents alike with relentless passion and unmatched flair. Whether you play him online or over-the-board, expect fireworks and a masterclass in chess artistry.

Recent Game Insights

Yuniesky, looking at your latest blitz games, here are some focused observations:

  • Strengths: Your play in the winning game with Black showcased excellent control in a Kings Indian type structure, where you successfully converted small advantages into a checkmate. Your use of pawn breaks and piece coordination was noteworthy.
  • Areas to Improve: In your recent losses, you faced sharp tactical pressure in openings like the Italian Game and Sicilian Defense. Timely tactical awareness and improving defensive calculation under pressure will help reduce losses.
  • Time Management: Some losses were decided on time, emphasizing the need to balance speed and precision. Practicing time control awareness during blitz is key.

Opening Repertoire Review

Your most played openings provide a solid foundation, but consider these points for improvement:

  • High Win Rate in Najdorf Sicilian and Caro-Kann: These defenses yield win rates above 54%. Continue refining your understanding here to further consolidate these strengths.
  • Slav Defense Results: Your win rate in the Slav is notably lower at under 43%. Explore deeper theory and typical plans to improve results in this line.
  • Balanced Play in Scandinavian and French Advance: Winning around half your games suggests these openings are solid but could benefit from sharper tactical training or positional understanding.

Performance and Rating Trends

Your rating and performance trends offer meaningful insights:

  • Your strength adjusted win rate is just under 50%, indicating competitive play at your level but room to improve consistency.
  • Recent short-term rating shows some fluctuations with a one-month decline but a positive three and six-month trend, suggesting recovery and growth.
  • Pay attention to periods of rapid rating changes as they may coincide with changes in preparation or motivational levels. Maintaining steady improvement is key.

Suggestions for Training Focus

Based on your recent games and stats, consider focusing your training on:

  • Tactical Awareness: Blitz demands quick calculation. Use tactical puzzles and timed exercises regularly to enhance your speed and accuracy.
  • Opening Preparation: Sharpen theory in weaker lines like the Slav and optimize move order tricks to surprise opponents.
  • Time Management Drills: Practice blitz games with a focus on keeping enough time for critical moments in the game.
  • Endgame Technique: Several losses show critical endgame positions. Strengthen fundamental endgames to confidently convert advantages and hold lesser positions.

Final Thought

Yuniesky, your experience and peak performances demonstrate a strong foundation. With focused tactical training, improved time control, and refined opening study, you can expect to regain upward momentum in your rating and performance. Keep a balanced approach and review your games regularly to identify subtle mistakes and areas of improvement.
