Meet Paolo Ghiu M. Rego Da Silva, a National Master who has mastered the art of chess with a dash of style and a sprinkle of flair. Whether blitzing through games like a lightning bolt or calmly strategizing in rapid matches, Paolo’s chess journey is nothing short of impressive.
Rating Rollercoaster & Playing Prowess
Paolo’s blitz ratings have soared from a respectable 2104 in 2016 to a dazzling peak of 2503 in 2021 — quite the climb! Their bullet rating also reached an eye-watering 2402, proving they can think fast and execute even faster.
With over 6,000 bullet games under their belt, Paolo has a win rate hovering around 50%, which is basically like flipping a coin — except this coin smashes your opponents on the board instead of just landing heads or tails.
Signature Style & Psychological Fortitude
Known for an incredibly high comeback rate of 93%, Paolo is the master of turning chess tables, often snatching victory from the jaws of defeat. They've never lost a game after losing a piece — imagine that tenacity! Their early resignation rate is a humble 0.27%, clearly showing Paolo isn't one to give up easily.
In terms of pacing, Paolo averages roughly 80 moves per game, enjoying those long endgames where every pawn push matters. Have patience and be ready for a chess marathon if you face them!
Favorite Opponents & Quirky Stats
Paolo’s scoreboard shows some hilarious extremes: a 100% win rate against dimke2802 and gonzalezmn, but a 0% win rate against rasan04. It's a reminder that even National Masters have their kryptonite.
Also worth noting: Paolo’s best hour to storm opponents seems to be 6 AM (59% win rate) or when the clock strikes 7 AM — at which point, apparently, they win all their games (100%). Clearly, chess is Paolo’s sunrise ritual!
In Summary
Paolo Ghiu M. Rego Da Silva is no ordinary chess player. A resilient, fast-paced National Master with a penchant for dramatic comebacks and marathon endgames, Paolo proves that chess isn’t just about brains — it’s about heart, grit, and, occasionally, playing at the crack of dawn to catch your foes napping.
