Alvaro Alves De Almeida Junior - The National Master with a Tactical Twist
Known in the chess realm as allvim, Alvaro Alves De Almeida Junior holds the esteemed title of National Master. From the opening moves to the fierce endgames, Alvaro is a chess player who embraces the art of the game with wit and determination, often leaving opponents scratching their heads and wondering where the brilliant idea came from.
With a playing style marked by a staggering 74.91% endgame frequency, Alvaro loves to drag battles into the late stages, proving a master of patience and precision. His average game length hovers around 72 moves when winning, showcasing a careful, thoughtful approach rather than a rush to the finish line. And rush, he rarely does—his early resignation rate is a modest 1.97%, because giving up early simply isn't in his playbook.
Tactical awareness? Alvaro’s is off the charts, boasting a jaw-dropping 99.4% win rate after losing a piece and an impressive 83.66% comeback rate. If he loses material, it's basically a plot twist—a surprise ending only he can orchestrate! Opponents beware: surrendering a piece doesn't guarantee victory here.
When it comes to game types, blitz and bullet are Alvaro's kingdom. His blitz play peaked at a powerful 2493 rating in 2024, while bullet reached a scorching 2535 in 2023. Not to be outdone, his rapid games showed steady improvement, reaching a peak of 2496 in 2024. Daily games, however, have become more of a charming pastime with ratings fluctuating, but the enthusiasm remains.
Alvaro’s overall win rates paint a victorious picture—especially in fast games:
- Blitz: 6021 wins
- Bullet: 5903 wins
- Rapid: 341 wins
- Daily: 83 wins
Ladies and gentlemen, this is a player who thrives under pressure, often clocking fantastic win rates on Wednesdays (59.49%) and early morning hours like 4 AM (66.4%)—perhaps fueled by caffeine and sheer grit.
Known rivals and comrades include matheusmdr2005 and willianwsc_13, among others, with some matchups showcasing biting competitiveness and others almost like friendly neighborhood sparring.
Putting everything together, Alvaro Alves De Almeida Junior is not just a National Master by title but by sheer chess personality—an endgame enthusiast, a comeback artist, and a blitz bullet dynamo who’s as tough to predict as he is to beat. Whether it’s a lightning-fast bullet match or a marathon daily duel, Alvaro plays with a sly smile and a brain always two moves ahead.
Watch out—he might be plotting a checkmate while you’re reading this!
