Aquiles Machado De Oliveira (aquiles88)

National Master Extraordinaire

Aquiles Machado De Oliveira, better known as aquiles88 in the chess world, holds the prestigious title of National Master, a testament to their dedication and prowess on the 64 squares. Beginning with a modest daily rating of 1200 back in 2011, Aquiles quickly climbed the ranks, hitting peaks above 2000 in various time controls, including a blistering Blitz peak of 2411 and a commanding Rapid peak rating of 2337.

Known for their mysterious opening strategy dubbed "Top Secret" (because who wouldn’t be curious about that?), Aquiles boasts a solid win rate nearing 75% in daily games and a respectable 56% in blitz, proving they can cruise thoughtfully or blitz-burn their opponents with equal flair.

Style and Strengths

  • Endgame Enthusiast: Playing long, strategic games with an average of over 70 moves per win — patience is a virtue, and Aquiles has it in spades.
  • Tactical Dynamo: A comeback rate nearing 79% and a win rate of nearly 58% even after losing a piece show Aquiles's resilience and fighting spirit.
  • White and Black Warrior: With White win rates above 62% and Black win rates near 59%, Aquiles is comfortable battling from either side of the board.

Notable Achievements & Stats

Aquiles has amassed an impressive career record:

  • Over 7,700 wins across all time controls.
  • A longest winning streak of 47 games — clearly, once they get going, there’s no stopping.
  • A tilt factor of 12 — just enough to keep things interesting without throwing the queen over the board.

Aquiles’s Recent Battles

Fresh from a tactical bout in May 2025, Aquiles clinched a win on time with a classic Bogo-Indian Defense setup. Not every chess hero wears a cape; some just manage time better than their opponents!

However, even champions face setback; a swift checkmate loss in a Modern Defense duel reminds us all that every game is a new challenge.

Playing Hours and Preferred Battlefield

Aquiles shines brightest around 8 AM, when their win rate soars, perhaps fueled by coffee or sheer genius. Strategically, they excel on Thursdays and Saturdays, perfect for plotting world domination one pawn at a time.

Personality in Play

While meticulous and methodical, Aquiles shows a playful side with surprise wins and tricky comebacks, making each game a rollercoaster ride of suspense. With an early resignation rate of just 1.8%, they rarely surrender and prefer battles until the very last move.

In short, Aquiles Machado De Oliveira is not just a player but a Chess adventure — strategic, tenacious, and secretly plotting the next winning surprise.

Coaching Feedback for Aquiles Machado De Oliveira

Hi Aquiles! You've shown a solid understanding of chess fundamentals and a good fighting spirit in your recent games. Here's some constructive feedback to help you improve further:

Strengths

  • Opening Choices: You experiment with various openings, including setups like the Pirc Defense and Indian Game systems, which can lead to dynamic middle games.
  • Time Management: You demonstrate patience in longer time controls, using your clock effectively to think through complex positions.
  • Endgame Awareness: Several of your wins came from endgame perseverance, showing good technique and the ability to convert advantages.

Areas to Improve

  • Transition Into Middle Game: Sometimes your opening moves allow your opponent more central control or activity. Focus on consistent development and central presence to avoid giving your opponent easy targets early on.
  • Positional Play: In a few losses, your positioning of pieces could be improved to limit your opponent's counterplay. Spend time studying pawn structures and key squares to strengthen your strategic plans.
  • Calculations Under Pressure: Noticeable in some games, precision in tactics and calculation under time pressure needs attention. Practicing tactical puzzles regularly will help sharpen this skill.

Practical Tips

  1. Review your recent losses and identify critical turning points — moments where a small inaccuracy made a big difference.
  2. Work on thematic pawn breaks in your preferred openings; they often create space and active piece play.
  3. In time trouble, focus on avoiding forcing moves by your opponent that could lead to quick tactical losses.
  4. Try to anticipate your opponent’s plans and counter them proactively rather than reactively.

Next Steps

Consider studying games by masters who play your favorite openings to understand common plans better. Also, practicing endgame techniques and tactical problem solving can significantly benefit your overall level.

You’re making great progress; keep analyzing your games deeply and experiment with new ideas from your studies!

Recent Game Highlight

Your recent win by checkmate in a solid middlegame demonstrates good attacking vision. Remember to also build on this by improving your defense skills for tougher opponents.
