Alfredo Criado: The Chess Warrior With a Twist
Known in the online chess world as arkipo, Alfredo Criado is not your typical chess player. With a rapid rating peaking at 699 in 2021, Alfredo has gallantly battled through 233 rapid games, clinching 117 wins, grappling with 110 losses, and signing off with 6 draws. His journey has seen meteoric streaks, including a longest winning streak of 11 games — yes, a chess hot streak worthy of a standing ovation!
But don’t let the numbers fool you. Alfredo’s style could be best described as a determined tactician with a side of unpredictability. He’s an endgame lover, playing roughly 43% of his games past move 40, proving that patience is indeed a virtue — and sometimes a necessity.
Opening Repertoire: A Mixed Bag
Sometimes charming, sometimes cheeky, his opening choices range from the classic King’s Pawn Opening (winning about 53% of those duels) to the highly respectable Philidor Defense, where he boasts a 75% win rate. And despite a humble 14% success rate in the Italian Game, Alfredo’s not afraid to tango where angels fear to tread.
Victories & Vanquished Foes
Alfredo’s opponents rarely see it coming. He’s managed perfect 100% win rates against a slew of challengers like lefterisvass, dawid_grab, and scp-999-a. However, foes like azodogwu and muzzadad keep him on his toes — those rivals have him marked as “to be conquered.” One can only imagine the intensity when meeting these notorious nemeses on the board!
When Does Alfredo Shine?
If you want to catch Alfredo at his prime, watch him play on Saturday afternoons or at 11pm when the stars align and his win rate soars past 56% and 63% respectively. Morning games? Not so much — looks like Alfredo prefers his chess with a dash of sleep and perhaps a cup of strong coffee beforehand.
Fun Facts and Quirks
- Average 49 moves per win — Alfredo enjoys a good long fight.
- Tilt factor of 7 — he can handle a loss, but watch out if you catch him on tilt!
- Comes back roaring after losing a piece, winning 100% of those scrappy comebacks.
- 10% of his games end with early resignation — sometimes, he just knows when to cut his losses and reload.
In short, Alfredo Criado is a player who combines passion, resilience, and a smidge of whimsy, proving that chess isn’t just about winning — it’s about the stories behind the battles.
