Alexandre Bernardino - The Chessboard Navigator

Meet Alexandre Bernardino, a chess aficionado who has graced the 64 squares with a rollercoaster ride of tactics, endgames, and occasional blunders since 2015. Known online as alexandreeab, Alexandre's chess journey is a tale of persistence, quirky openings, and a love for both the slow burn of Daily games and the adrenaline rush of Blitz.

Rating & Playing Style

Alexandre soared highest in Blitz chess with a peak rating of 969 back in November 2015. While his Blitz rating later settled around the 500–600 range, his love for rapid tactical battles never faded. In Daily chess, he impressively bumped his peak rating up to 1283 as recently as February 2024 – you might say he’s a master of patience, making every move count over days or even weeks.

Blitz is where Alexandre often brings the heat, favoring lineups like the Queen's Pawn Opening (Zukertort Chigorin Variation) and Van 't Kruijs Opening, where he maintains a respectable win rate hovering near 45–56%. He also dabbles in gambits (looking at you, Englund Gambit), keeping opponents on their toes — or on time trouble.

Playing style-wise, Alexandre is no quitter. With a Comeback Rate of nearly 80%, he’s the kind of player who doesn’t just hang in there but fights fiercely even when down material. His endgame frequency is pretty high (64%), proving he's willing to slug it out long after the pieces have thinned. And don't be fooled—his games typically clock in around 60 moves, so expect a battle of endurance!

Chess Personality Snapshot

A player who prefers mornings ('Best Time of Day to Play' is 8 AM) and has a surprising tactical mind—Alexandre’s tactical awareness shines in his ability to bounce back after losing pieces with a 44% win rate. Still, like many mortals, he has a tilt factor of 12, reminding us all that chess is as much a mental game as a strategic one.

Oh, and here’s a fun tidbit: when playing with the white pieces, he wins just under 49% of his games, and with black pieces, he holds steady at about 45%. Talk about balanced! Plus, he has a soft spot for early resignations being rare—only about 2.9%—showcasing a fighter’s spirit.

Memorable Victories & Recent Action

Alexandre's latest victory was a thrilling Blitz duel in May 2025, where he skillfully navigated the Colle System (ECO code D04) — though some might say he caught his opponent on time rather than with a slick checkmate. In a past shining moment, he checkmated an opponent in a King's Pawn Opening battle, proving his endgame mettle and opportunistic spirit.

Opponents Beware!

Alexandre's opponents run the gambit from loyal rivals like heavy100ban where he nets two out of three wins, to those who walk away victorious more often than not. Despite the ups and downs, Alexandre’s persistence and strategic curiosity keep pushing him forward on the leaderboard.

Final Thoughts

In conclusion, Alexandre Bernardino is the kind of chess player who may not yet have grandmaster status tattooed on his name, but certainly has the heart and humor needed to keep conquering chess boards one move at a time. Whether it's a nerve-wracking blitz or a slow, calculated daily game, alexandreeab keeps fighting, surprising, and reminding us that chess is as much about the journey as the rating.
