Who is Rey Enigma? This page is a compliment to the Rey Enigma profile and is dedicated to the sole purpose of revealing the true identity of Rey Enigma. Below, you’ll see a table of the possible players that he could be.
What We Know So Far
We have little information to work with, but we can be positive of a few traits that drastically narrow down the list of players he could be. Here’s what we know so far.
- He’s male.
- He’s from Spain – We know this because he speaks Spanish and his country of origin is listed as Spain in his lichess profile. He was also on Spain’s Got Talent.
- He’s lean. Meaning, he’s not 300 lbs or even 200 lbs for that matter.
What Is Likely
And this list are attributes that are likely. We can’t be 100% sure of these things, but they are likely true.
- He likely has an Elo in the range of at least 2300 to 2450. This is likely the case due to his performance over the board that we can all see. Hikaru Nakamura himself suggested that his Elo is likely between 2300 and 2400.
- He’s bald, or has very short hair. His skin tight costume suggests there is little to no hair on top of his head. So we can instantly eliminate players with any medium to long hair styles.
Process of Elimination
So how are we going to reveal who he is? The only plausible strategy I can think of in order to find out who he is, is to use process of elimination. We have just enough of the facts about Rey Enigma to start with a reasonable sized list of players to start with.
Possible Candidates
Knowing what we know, we can narrow the search down to these players from FIDE.

This is simple process of elimination. We will cross off players that we can confirm they are not him and narrow the list down further and further which eventually will determine who Rey Enigma is.
If you have any specific details about the identity, contact us through the suggestion form.
