Carlos Eduardo Cardozo Munar
FIDE Master & Blitz Virtuoso
Known online as carloseduar100, Carlos Eduardo Cardozo Munar is a formidable FIDE Master whose chess journey reads like a rollercoaster of brilliant victories and hard-fought battles. From humble beginnings in 2018 with blitz ratings around 1900, Carlos steadily climbed the ranks, smashing through walls to peak at an impressive 2405 blitz rating in early 2024. Clearly, the man knows how to handle time pressure!
Carlos is especially deadly in blitz chess, with over 2,500 blitz games logged, winning nearly half of them. His opening repertoire bears a tantalizing secret (shh!) and a taste for the French Defense Exchange Variation, boasting an 83% win rate in that line. Not too shabby! In bullet, he shines like a speed demon, winning nearly 71% of his games; basically, if it's lightning-fast chess, he's in his element.
But he’s no slouch in rapid or daily formats either, having conquered opponents with keen endgame technique—Carlos sees an endgame like some people see a Sudoku puzzle: a welcome challenge. His style is patient and persistent: matches average nearly 80 moves per win, showing his love for the long, strategic grind rather than quick fights.
Interestingly, Carlos’s psychological resilience is remarkable, boasting an 82% comeback rate after losing material—evidently his motto is "piece down, fight on!" However, anyone hoping to catch him on a tilt might be disappointed; his tilt factor is a low 10, meaning he usually keeps his cool no matter how spicy the board gets.
Carlos’s best time to strike is in the wee hours around 3 AM, when most players are asleep but he's wide awake, ready to outwit and outmaneuver opponents worldwide.
