Adriano Cunha - National Master Extraordinaire
Meet Adriano Cunha, a chess enthusiast who holds the prestigious title of National Master from National. With a knack for the game that borders on wizardry, Adriano has been dazzling opponents across multiple time controls, from the lightning-fast bullet bouts to the more contemplative rapid and blitz games.
Starting out with a Blitz rating around 1350 in 2017, Adriano embarked on a journey full of ups—sometimes downs—and plenty of checkmates. By 2024, Adriano had cruised past the 2000-rated barrier in both Blitz and Rapid, proving uncanny resilience and tactical prowess. Oh, and did we mention a remarkable 92.98% comeback rate? Losing a piece just lights a fire under Adriano’s queen!
Although bullet may be the most ruthless arena where Adriano currently averages a win rate shy of 0%, the player’s blitz numbers tell a story of gritty battles: 99 wins, 124 losses, and a sprinkling of draws. When Adriano plays white, opponents better watch out, as nearly 45% of the games end up favoring our National Master.
Off the board, Adriano’s psychological trends reveal a modest tilt factor of 8 (which means sometimes chess is more emotional drama than pure logic), and a very healthy endurance with an average game lasting around 65 moves to victory. Those wins often come after the longest of struggles — proving that patience really is a virtue.
Not just a one-trick pony, Adriano's style embraces endgames almost three-quarters of the time, showing a passion for the slow burn that ultimately seals the deal. And when it comes to openings? All we know is it's a closely-guarded Top Secret, probably as mysterious as Adriano's favorite snack during a tense match.
If you’re looking for a fierce competitor with a blend of grit, tactical genius, and a delightful streak of humor amidst the intensity, Adriano Cunha stands ready at the chessboard — wily and wise, with a mind ready to castle at a moment’s notice.
