Jorge Luis Baules Rodriguez (aka "vangulio")
Meet Jorge Luis Baules Rodriguez, a chess virtuoso with the distinguished title of International Master awarded by FIDE. This maestro doesn’t just play chess — Jorge practically lives and breathes it, clocking thousands of wins across all time controls and baffling opponents with a combination of tactical awareness and poetic flair on the board.
Known affectionately across the chess cosmos as "vangulio," Jorge is a force to be reckoned with particularly in fast-paced games. When blitz and bullet bullets start flying, Jorge’s rating soars past the 2600+ mark, peaking at an impressive 2690 in Bullet and a blazing 2616 in Blitz. And let’s not forget rapid and daily chess — Jorge even takes his time and still wins with a peak rapid rating breaking 2100 and a nearly perfect streak of wins in daily games!
With a win rate that could make grandmasters reconsider their life choices — including an astonishing 77.6% in Rapid and a steadfast 59%+ in Blitz and Bullet — Jorge’s style blends aggression with a knack for psychological warfare. His opponents often find themselves wondering if they’re playing against a chess player or a grandmaster of the mind.
The International Master is no stranger to theatrical finishes, either. His longest winning streak stretches to a jaw-dropping 16 games, but keep an eye on him because a single loss doesn’t rattle him much; Jorge has mastered the art of comebacks with a phenomenal 77.5% comeback win rate. His psychological tilt factor is impressively low, proving that he’s as cool under fire as a chess grandmaster sipping iced tea in a sauna.
Jorge’s favorite chess hour? According to stats, the best time to challenge him is not when the sun is high, but rather around 2 AM — when his tactical instincts peak and his opponents’ pieces mysteriously lose their way.
Oh, and just for fun, Jorge has a secret weapon opening called "Top Secret" with over 230 blitz games played—winning nearly 60% of them — plus a flawless 100% win record using the Sicilian Defense Open Dragon Variation in blitz, as recently as May 2025. It’s safe to say that if you want to survive the dragon, bring your A-game.
Whether it’s lightning-fast bullet or thoughtful daily games, Jorge Luis Baules Rodriguez continues to carve his path through the ranks, proving that behind every great chessboard is a player with nerves of steel and maybe a coffee addiction strong enough to fuel a spaceship.
Check out one of his latest victories where he skillfully executed the Sicilian Dragon, forcing his opponent “Lenzi7” to resign under pressure:
