Profile: Pedro (aka bon_aqua69)

Pedro is a chess enthusiast whose journey through the 64 squares has been as colorful as his username suggests. With a rapid rating peaking at 483 back in July 2022, Pedro has showcased a persistent spirit, embracing both the triumphs and tribulations of the game.

Playing Style & Strengths

Pedro's favorite battleground appears to be Daily chess, where he boasts an impressive peak rating of 546 in early 2025. His style mixes tactical awareness, with a notable comeback rate of 24%, and little patience for long endgames, averaging around 30 moves to victory.

His openings repertoire is as adventurous as his career: from the cautious Scandinavian Defense, where he holds a respectable 55.56% win rate, to the aggressive Center Game with a solid 75% success rate. He even dares to dance with the unpredictable Grob Opening! Not one to shy away from early confrontations, Pedro often captures first around move 5.

Record & Rivalries

While rapid games have been a roller coaster with 36 wins, 60 losses, and 11 draws, Pedro has tastefully converted many matches into victories through cunning use of the Scandinavian Defense and Center Game variations. He’s faced neekeri_anssi the most (17 games), with a near-even split - a rivalry worthy of a chess novel.

His recent opponents include a few notorious players such as blablablalele and ahm7000, against whom he’s still chasing his first win. However, Pedro has a perfect record against some, like stephnouchka and sm0ke_b0x48. Clearly, his victories bring a smile wider than the chessboard.

Moments of Glory

Pedro’s lasting streak highlights a longest winning run of four games, punctuated by an occasional tricky six-game skid. But who’s counting when the pieces fly and brains spark? His tactical prowess culminated recently in two dazzling checkmate wins in Daily games on May 21 and May 29, 2025, both demonstrating his love for the French Defense and elegant finishes:

Psychological Quirks & Preferences

Pedro’s tilt factor stands at a low 6, which means he usually keeps his cool even after rough games. The early mornings, around 6 AM, seem to be his prime time for chess brilliance — possibly fueled by coffee and quiet hours! Early resignations happen more than 23% of the time, a modest surrender rate that hints at a player who knows when to cut losses and prepare for the next encounter.

Fun Fact

Pedro has a love-hate relationship with the King's Pawn Opening, recording zero wins in 10 rapid games with 9 losses. Clearly, he prefers to break the mold — or at least try funky lines — rather than play it safe every time.

In short: Pedro is a spirited daily contender, blending tactical surprises with a dash of humor and a chessboard full of stories yet to be told!
