Bernard Paul Guinto: The Relentless Blitz Battler

Meet Bernard Paul Guinto, aka bernardpaulguinto4, a chess enthusiast whose blitz games are something of a roller coaster—and by that we mean thrill, spills, and some spectacular comebacks!

Bernard started his blitz journey back in 2021, kicking off with a humble rating of 208 and quickly soaring to a peak of 1053. Since then, his rating has danced between highs and lows, proving that life (and chess) is all about resilience. His current blitz rating, as of 2025, sits around 729, with a history full of hard-fought battles and an average game length that suggests he’s not one to rush prematurely: nearly 64 moves per win.

Speaking of rushing, Bernard has learned the art of patience—reflected in an early resignation rate of just 17%, which means he fights until the bitter end about 83% of the time. Endgames are his playground, making up almost half of his games. And when the going gets tough? He’s a comeback king with a 76% comeback rate and an uncanny 100% win rate after losing a piece—because who doesn’t love a good underdog story?

With a White win rate slightly above 50%, Bernard proves he can handle the pressure both starting first and playing catch-up as Black. His longest winning streak? An impressive 16 games, though he’s currently savoring a fresh win streak of 1—ready to build it higher!

Opponents beware: Bernard’s top-secret opening strategy has won him nearly half of his blitz duels—making him as mysterious as he is formidable. Despite his serious stats, his tilt factor is low (only 12), showing he keeps his cool—even if the chessboard sometimes throws tantrums his way.

Whether it’s the early morning hours or late at night, Bernard plays with varying success throughout the day, peaking around 5 AM and between 19:00-20:00 when the stars and strategies align.

In the bullet arena, Bernard has fewer games but still manages a respectable win rate of just over 52%, proving he’s just as comfortable playing at lightning speed.

In short: Bernard Paul Guinto is the kind of player that keeps the chess community entertained—part fighter, part strategist, and part magician who turns lost pieces into victories. Watch out for his next move, or you might just find yourself on the wrong end of a Top Secret blitz surprise!
