Lindolfo Luiz Da Silva (ALRS-SPS)
Lindolfo Luiz Da Silva, known to the online chess world as ALRS-SPS, is a National Master with an appetite for chess that borders on the superhuman. Since 2020, he has played more than 40,000 rated online games, turning the digital board into his personal training ground. His preferred time control is Rapid, but he is equally at home in the fast chaos of Bullet and the long grind of Blitz.
A Tireless Online Competitor
ALRS-SPS burst onto the scene in March 2020 and climbed quickly. His rating history is a roller coaster of elite peaks and deep valleys, all powered by an extraordinary volume of games. At his best, he touched 2702 (2026-04-23) in Blitz and 2668 (2025-04-30) in Bullet, proving he can hang with some of the strongest online players in the world.
- Title: National Master
- Peak Rapid rating: 2282 (2023-04-05)
- Longest winning streak: 19 games
- Comeback rate: 87.6 percent
Signature Openings
Some players collect trophies; ALRS-SPS collects checks. He has made the Amazon Attack his calling card, especially the Siberian Attack line, which he has played thousands of times. As Black, he is a loyal student of the Sicilian Defense, regularly reaching the Closed Sicilian and the sharp Four Knights Variation, Cobra Variation. Against 1.d4, he trusts the King's Indian Defense. His statistics show a clear pattern: as White he almost always opens with 1.d4, and his preparation depth has grown from three moves in 2020 to a serious seven moves in recent seasons.
Fierce Rivalries
Online chess has given ALRS-SPS a cast of recurring rivals. Nobody faced him more often than Anselm Wagner, a battle-hardened opponent who met him 196 times in an epic series that reads like a prize fight: 76 wins, 106 losses, and 14 draws. Regulars like zumpili and meshter also kept him honest, while his most frequent victories came against thechesschannel and roacess275.
Those rivalries helped shape his fierce, fighting style. He wins 53.5 percent of games against equal-rated opposition and nearly 65 percent against lower-rated players, while his games against stronger players remain fiercely contested.
Fighting Spirit and Tactics
ALRS-SPS is a predator, not a passenger. Across his analyzed games, he has delivered more than 100,000 checks, and when he lands the first check, his win rate jumps to 54.6 percent. The queen is his favorite checking weapon, though he is plenty happy to use rooks, knights, and bishops as well. He reaches the endgame in 86 percent of his games, which explains his high average game length of roughly 80 moves: he never stops fighting until the last pawn falls.
He rarely resigns early, and even after losing a piece he still finds a way to win 46 percent of the time. A 15 game losing streak happened, but so did a 19 game winning streak. That is the story of ALRS-SPS: a National Master who treats every game as a new adventure.
