Profile: Roi Reinaldo (aka Ainahia)
International Master Extraordinaire
Roi Reinaldo, known in the chess world as Ainahia, is an International Master recognized by FIDE. A player who's clearly onto something – possibly world domination – with a blitz peak rating soaring to an impressive 2640 back in April 2019 and a bullet peak of 2614 in April 2022.
His chess journey started humbly with blitz games rated around 1500, but fast forward a few years and Ainahia was slicing through opponents like a Grandmaster ninja. His blitz winning percentage hovers just above 55%, but in bullet chess? Ainahia means business – an astonishing 73.58% win rate with over 50 games played is no joke.
Playing Style & Strengths
- Endgame Wizardry: Frequent endgame battles with an emphasis on precision; average wins come after 67 moves, so patience and strategy are his pals.
- Comeback Kid: Nearly 74% success rate coming back from precarious positions proves Ainahia doesn’t just roll over.
- Psychological Resilience: An admirable tilt factor of 6 – some might crumble, Ainahia adjusts and strikes back.
- Night Owl Alert: Excels in games played late at night and early morning hours, with perfect win rates around midnight and the 7 AM hour. Clearly the board lights fuel his genius!
Notable Stats & Quirks
- White pieces yield a stronger win rate (almost 64%) compared to black (close to 58%) – apparently, white is the lucky color.
- Longest winning streak: 9 games; longest losing streak: 6 games. A rollercoaster, but isn’t every champion’s tale?
- Favorite opening? Classified as "Top Secret" – we can only speculate (but trust there’s some spicy theory there) with a solid 56% blitz win rate and a bullet win rate nearing 74%.
- Has shown a magic touch against a wide array of opponents with a 100% win record against several players – don't ask for rematches!
Recent Battles
Ainahia’s recent games prove theories turn into reality. In September 2024, he secured an elegant checkmate victory using the Queen's Pawn Opening (Horwitz Defense variation) against a 2594-rated adversary, showcasing both tactical brilliance and calm nerves. However, even maestros stumble: in April 2025, Ainahia suffered a checkmate defeat against a strong opponent, a reminder that chess is a humbling, ever-challenging game.
In Conclusion
Roi Reinaldo, or Ainahia, is not just a player – he’s a blazing chess force combining patience, resilience, and tactical cunning. Whether blitzing through an opening or grinding out an endgame marathon, watch out for this IM who dances elegantly on 64 squares and leaves many wondering how they got checkmated so fast.
Coach's Feedback for Roi Reinaldo
Hi Roi, I've reviewed your recent games and here is some constructive feedback to help you improve your chess performance:
Strengths
- Opening Preparation: You demonstrate solid understanding in your opening choices such as the French Defense, Queen's Pawn structures, and English Opening setups. You develop pieces promptly and castle early, which is a good habit.
- Active Piece Play: In many games, you maintain active piece placement, especially your rooks and bishops, which help control important squares and exert pressure on the opponent.
- Tactical Awareness: You have shown ability to execute tactics leading to material gain or mating attacks; the game where you forced a checkmate by coordinating your queen and rook was well done.
Areas for Improvement
- King Safety and Awareness: In some games, especially the losses, the safety of your king became compromised early or midgame. For example, in the loss to nicolochessit, you were checkmated quickly due to a vulnerable king position after the sequence of queen checks. Focus on ensuring your king has sufficient protection and avoid unnecessary weakening of the pawn shield around your king.
- Calculation and Avoiding Blunders: There were moments where tactical oversights led to quick losses (e.g., missed mating threats or losing material). Practicing tactical puzzles regularly can help sharpen your calculation skills to recognize threats and opportunities faster.
- Endgame Technique: While you reach endgames often, converting advantages sometimes proves difficult. Reviewing basic endgame principles—king activity, pawn structure, and piece coordination—will boost your ability to seal wins and salvage draws from slightly worse positions.
- Time Management: Some games indicate rapid time pressure (playing almost instantaneous moves). Improving your pacing, especially in critical moments, can prevent oversights and give you enough time to evaluate tactical nuances more carefully.
Recommendations
- Study classic games with similar openings you like to deepen your understanding of typical plans and common traps.
- Incorporate a daily tactical training routine focusing on motifs that arise from your favored openings.
- Review your own games, especially losses, to identify recurring patterns in mistakes or missed opportunities.
- Practice longer time control games occasionally to improve your calculation and strategic planning without the constraint of severe time pressure.
Keep working hard and stay consistent. Your passion and effort will definitely reflect in your progress.
