Rated around 2254, Ross plays at a candidate-master level, calculating accurately and punishing the inaccuracies that club players typically allow. His repertoire leans on classical defensive structures, and as Black he frequently turns to the [Philidor Defense](/resources/openings/philidor-defense), a solid system that suits his preference for quiet, controlled positions over chaotic skirmishes. Outside the 64 squares, Ross headlines a flamenco spectacle in Havana, and he often credits the rhythm and patience of dance for the steadiness he brings to long endgames. Players who sit across from him should expect precise, principled chess: clean development, early simplification when given the chance, and relentless technique once a small advantage appears on the board.","45","CStMy","Cuba","cu","9789bc423e200be6f2be659a8068d48c1ea076ddb9e6da359dacdcea30bc9dee","2026-07-06",2254,"json",[15,18,21],{"question":16,"answer":17},"What rating is Ross?","Ross is rated approximately 2254, placing him at candidate-master to expert strength. At this level he calculates accurately, prepares his openings deeply, and reliably punishes the kinds of tactical and positional errors that most club players make.",{"question":19,"answer":20},"What opening does Ross play?","As Black, Ross most often defends with the [Philidor Defense](/resources/openings/philidor-defense), a classical setup that protects the e5 pawn and steers play into solid, manageable structures. He also has experience with the [Queen's Gambit Accepted](/resources/openings/qga), giving him a reliable second option against 1.d4.",{"question":22,"answer":23},"How do strong club players prepare to face Ross?","Strong club players should prepare concrete lines against the Philidor and the Queen's Gambit Accepted, since Ross knows the main theory well and will exploit imprecise move orders. The practical key is to keep tension on the board, because Ross actively seeks trades and quieter positions where his endgame technique becomes decisive. Sharp, complicating choices in the middlegame are the most uncomfortable for his style.","Dancing with grace, I conquer the board, blending artistry and strategy into a symphony of victory.","Male","¡Hola, mi amigo/a! 👏 Welcome, welcome, to mi **tablero**, where each move dances like un **paso doble** under las luces 💃 The board, she sings, she sways, y together, we shall make música 🎶 ¡Vamos a bailar, mi amigo/a! 👏","Esteemed as the star of Havana's premier flamenco spectacle, he masterfully captures the rhythm and passion of dance, commanding attention like a King on a chessboard.",false,"2023-11-18T00:00:00.000Z","A Red Silk Fan",{},"Ross Japablanca","Flamenco Dancer",{"solid_sharp":35,"unprepared_theoretical":36},-0.32,0.22,{"stats":38,"whiteFingerprint":51,"blackFingerprint":60},{"total":39,"white":44,"black":48},{"games":40,"uniqueOpenings":41,"sharpness":35,"repertoireNarrowness":42,"theoryAdherence":43},2001,30,0.88,-0.44,{"games":45,"uniqueOpenings":41,"sharpness":46,"repertoireNarrowness":42,"theoryAdherence":47},1001,0,-0.96,{"games":46,"uniqueOpenings":46,"sharpness":49,"repertoireNarrowness":46,"theoryAdherence":50},-0.65,0.07,{"firstMove":52},[53],{"name":54,"percent":55,"count":56,"lines":57,"responses":59},"Nc3",98.7,1057,[58],[54],[],{"vsFirstMove":61},[62,83],{"name":63,"lines":64,"responses":66},"e4",[65],[63],[67],{"name":68,"percent":69,"count":70,"lines":71,"variationBreakdown":74},"1...e5 (Open Games)",66.2,369,[72],[63,73],"e5",[75],{"name":76,"percent":77,"count":78,"lines":79},"Philidor Defense",46.7,127,[80],[63,73,81,82],"Nf3","d6",{"name":84,"lines":85,"responses":87},"d4",[86],[84],[88],{"name":89,"percent":90,"count":91,"lines":92,"variationBreakdown":95},"1...d5 systems",86.6,168,[93],[84,94],"d5",[96,104],{"name":97,"percent":98,"count":99,"lines":100},"QGA",53.6,26,[101],[84,94,102,103],"c4","dxc4",{"name":105,"percent":106,"count":107,"lines":108},"QGD",33,16,[109],[84,94,102,110],"e6",{"defensive_aggressive":112,"simplifying_complicating":112,"category":113},-0.95,1,"Ross plays a notably defensive, simplifying style.
