Adriano Nunes Cavalcante (aka AdrianoNunesFX)

National Master - The Grinder of Blitz and Bullet

Adriano Nunes Cavalcante is a National Master who has battled their way through thousands of games across multiple formats, proving that chess is not just a game but a marathon - and sometimes a sprint! Known by their username AdrianoNunesFX, this player has a penchant for fast-paced victories and highly tactical play, especially in blitz and bullet time controls.

Over the years, Adriano has shown remarkable consistency and improvement. Starting from a blitz rating around 2200 in 2020, they pushed their peak over 2400 by 2025, with bullet and rapid ratings following similar upward trajectories. The player's blitz rating topped at an impressive 2427, showing their speed chess prowess, while their rapid play reached a top of 2378.

With nearly 6,000 blitz games under their belt and close to a 46% win rate, Adriano demonstrates impressive resilience and endurance — sometimes grinding out long, 80-move wins (the average moves per win are almost 81!). Their endgame frequency is high at nearly 73%, proving they don't just blitz through positions but patiently outplay opponents in the late game.

One of Adriano's most fascinating traits? An 89.75% comeback rate and a perfect 100% win rate after losing a piece! Clearly, surrender is not in their vocabulary. They prefer to fight back with style and determination, turning setbacks into glorious triumphs, possibly leaving their bewildered opponents wondering whether a magician hid on the board.

Yet, even masters have their quirky side. Adriano’s early resignation rate is a modest 0.32%, probably indicating a stubbornness to stick it out even when the going gets tough. But with a tilt factor of 10, it seems that even this seasoned warrior sometimes lets the pressure crack their cool – hey, nobody’s perfect!

When it comes to playing preferences, Adriano has a slight favorite for white pieces with a 48.5% win rate, while their black win rate trails a bit at 43.5%. However, the difference is small, showcasing a well-rounded adaptability.

Off the board, Adriano enjoys a friendly rivalry with frequent opponents like caplekhine and rubinstein_student, engaging in intense bouts that would make a grandmaster smile. Their longest winning streak is an impressive 18 games, and they are currently riding a strong 3-game streak, hinting that their best games are still ahead.

Whether facing the clock in bullet’s nerve-jangling seconds or delivering a well-honed endgame precision in rapid, Adriano Nunes Cavalcante embodies passion, tenacity, and a touch of brilliance — a true chess warrior in the digital age.
