Rodrigo Adorno: The Tenacious Chess Warrior
Known in the chess world by the username adornete, Rodrigo Adorno is a player whose journey is as colorful as his rating graphs. From blitz battles to rapid skirmishes, Adorno has shown a penchant for persisting even when the going gets tough — and the losses get many.
A Rollercoaster Rating Ride
Starting off with respectable blitz ratings near 950 in 2018, Rodrigo's performance took a nosedive in later years, hitting lows as hilariously low as 135 in blitz by 2024. Yet this didn't stop him from playing over 300 blitz games in 2025, winning just over half of them. Talk about stamina! In bullet, lofty ratings around 798 and 783 steadily dipped to the 670s, while rapid saw highs close to 950 early on but also a steep decline more recently.
The Opening Adventurer
Rodrigo favors the Queen's Pawn Opening with a solid 51% win rate in blitz, a cozy Scandinavian Defense enthusiast with over 55% wins, and a surprisingly effective Mikenas Defense player boasting nearly 69% wins in blitz. He also dabbles bravely in the Englund Gambit — a risky choice not many dare to try, but adornete takes it head-on with a neat 50% win rate. When it comes to bullet and daily games, he's lighter on openings but still enjoys mixing it up.
Playing Style & Mental Toughness
Rodrigo's playing style could be described as a delightful mix of stubbornness and endurance. His comeback rate is an astonishing 72.56%, and he's perfect at winning after losing a piece (100% win rate post-loss!). Endgames are his bread and butter, featuring in over half the games. On the flip side, he occasionally falls victim to early resignations (~8%) and dips into tilt mode about 15% of the time — understandable for a player who battles on despite odds.
Matchmaking & Rivalries
Rodrigo has squared off against feradorno 17 times but hasn’t had much luck there. However, he boasts flawless records against many opponents—including several where he holds a 100% win rate. Some recent opponents, on the other hand, seem to have discovered his kryptonite, handing him losses aplenty.
Fun Fact
Adornete's top win hours include mornings and late afternoons, hitting an impressive 68% win rate at 8 AM and over 55% during 10-11 AM. Perhaps Rodrigo is secretly a chess-loving early bird who’s powered by coffee and cunning!
With a longest winning streak of 10 games and a fiery spirit that refuses to quit, Rodrigo Adorno is a fascinating mix of grit, unpredictability, and passion—a true chess journeyman who keeps the board exciting for opponents and fans alike.
