Constantius Leonardo Pratama - The FIDE Master Extraordinaire
Meet Constantius Leonardo Pratama, also known in the chess world as bocah_gila. A proud holder of the FIDE Master title, Constantius is a player whose journey through the 64 squares is nothing short of legendary – and occasionally quite wild. From humble beginnings with modest bullet ratings, this fearless tactician skyrocketed to a blistering peak bullet rating of 2701 in June 2023, proving that quick wit and rapid reflexes are indeed formidable weapons.
Playing Style & Strengths
Known for an unyielding comeback spirit (holding an incredible 85.77% comeback rate), Constantius never resigns early – unless the coffee’s gone cold. With an average game length pushing close to 80 moves, battles on the board are marathons, not sprints. The player is equally comfortable wielding the white pieces (53.5% win rate) or defending with the black side (50.1% win rate), showing adaptability across all phases of the game.
Rapid, Blitz, and Bullet Mastery
- Bullet: From early days rated around 1100, to cracking the 2700 barrier, Constantius’s bullet performance is truly top secret – with a game count surpassing 900 and nearly half resulting in wins.
- Blitz: A finely tuned blitz warrior, peaking at 2603 Elo, with a winning percentage just over 52%. With over 1000 games under the belt, this speed demon’s playstyle is fast, furious, and often flawless.
- Rapid: Although fewer games are recorded here, a solid 80.95% win rate makes it clear that rapid play is another format in which Constantius excels – possibly proving that given a bit more thinking time, the magic only multiplies.
Quirks and Trivia
When not busy slam-dunking opponents with sharp openings titled "Top Secret," Constantius shows a striking ability to win on time. The most recent recorded victory came by outlasting a strong opponent, finishing on time with an elegant blend of pressure and patience. Yet, even champions stumble, as losses often come by resignation or clever checkmates – but hey, that’s what makes the journey interesting!
Psychology of a Chess Gladiator
With a tilt factor around 15%, our master keeps calm under fire – because nobody's perfect, even at the top. The most successful hour to unleash tactical brilliance? Around 7 PM, under the quiet hum of evening focus. And if Monday blues get in the way, rest assured by Wednesday, the winning smile returns with gusto.
Notable Opponents
Constant skirmisher against longstanding rivals like junglemath (64 games) and bocah_sakit (44 battles), this rivalry circuit adds spice to an already sizzling career. A favored victim or a worthy challenger? Opposing players better be ready – bocah_gila doesn’t just play chess, they play to win.
From bullet blazings to rapid fire tactics, Constantius Leonardo Pratama is more than a FIDE Master – they’re a chess storm brewing over the horizon, ready to electrify every match with blazing intellect and a dash of unpredictability.
Hi Constantius Leonardo Pratama 👋
You are playing exciting, resource-rich chess and have recently reached 2603 (2023-06-21). Let’s build on that momentum!
1. Opening phase – aim for “healthy” positions
- With White you often start with 1 d3, 1 h4 or early queen sorties. While these surprise opponents, they also delay centre control and development (see the loss vs NxCheeseGuy where 4…Bb4+ punished your slow setup). Try adding one classical main line to your repertoire (e.g. Queen’s Gambit or Italian) so you can default to solid positions when surprise value is low.
- With Black you like the …a5/…b5 ideas (A40, Modern Defence, etc.). The gambit spirit is great, but sometimes you fall behind in development. In the win vs cumabl your early …a5 b5 worked only because White cooperated. Study a backbone defence such as the Queen’s Gambit Declined or the Caro-Kann so you can switch to something stable when needed.
- Recommendation: create a three-layer repertoire—(1) a mainline, (2) a surprise line, (3) an emergency ultra-solid system.
2. Time management – convert the clock from enemy to friend
Five of the eight listed losses were on time. In several games you still had completely playable positions (e.g. vs ClassyEl, ameetghasi100). Practical tips:
- Use the opening phase to gain time: play your pet line quickly and bank 20–30 seconds.
- At move 20 do a “clock health check”. If below opponent by 30 sec or more, simplify the position or speed up.
- Train with increment games (3 + 2) so every move rewards you with time back.
3. Tactical alertness
You spot tactics well (28.Rxg6+!! vs Der_Balak_3Halak was beautiful) but also miss counter-shots (7…Qxd5!! in your loss to NxCheeseGuy). Daily routine:
- 10 rated “Puzzle Rush” attempts per week.
- In analysis, label every move “check, capture, threat” to ingrain the scanning habit.
- Keep a personal “tactic diary” of motifs you missed (forks, skewers, deflections).
4. Endgame & conversion
Many of your wins come from opponents’ flags rather than checkmate or technical conversion. Strengthen endgame fundamentals so you can finish efficiently when the clock is low:
- King & pawn vs king;
- Basic rook endgames (Lucena, Philidor);
- Opposite-colour bishop positions.
5. Recent instructive game
Review the critical moments annotated below. Focus on centralisation and piece activity after you equalise out of the opening.
6. Performance trends
Your strongest hours and best days to play:
Next-week training plan
- Day 1-2: build main-line repertoire files (Italian & QGD) – 1 hour each.
- Day 3-4: 30 min tactical puzzles + 30 min endgame table-base study.
- Day 5: play 10 games 3 + 2 focusing on clock management.
- Day 6: analyse two wins and two losses (no engine first pass).
- Day 7: rest / light chess video.
Stay disciplined, keep the fighting spirit, and your rating climb will continue. Good luck!
