Carlos Arturo Fonseca (aka Chescont)
Meet Carlos Arturo Fonseca, a FIDE Master whose chessboard prowess is as impressive as his secret opening repertoire — so secret, even his closest opponents only know it's very effective. Over the years, Carlos has blitzed his way up the ratings ladder, peaking at a blistering 2320 in blitz and sustaining an impressive presence in rapid and bullet formats alike.
A true maestro of fast-paced games, Carlos averages over 2180 in blitz with thousands of games under his belt, proving stamina and skill go hand-in-hand—though one wonders how many cups of coffee fuel those marathon sessions! His rapid rating hovers slightly above 2100, demonstrating precision when there’s just a bit more time to outwit his opponents. Bullet games? Oh yes, he’s proven equally daring while juggling speed and strategy.
Carlos’s style is a blend of resilience and tactical cunning. With an amazing comeback rate of 87% and a perfect 100% win rate after losing a piece, it's safe to say he hates giving up early — unless he’s making a dramatic bluff to mess with your head. His games tend to be long affairs, averaging almost 70 moves to victory, showing patience and depth in his endgame play, which he frequents in over 81% of matches.
Whether wielding the white or black pieces, Carlos maintains a solid winning record, squeezing a 55.4% win rate as White and a respectable 52.7% as Black. Yet don't mistake these numbers for dull; his longest winning streak stretches to an impressive 22 games, a testament to his fierce determination and iron nerves (tilt factor is a mere 10 out of 100, so he's pretty chill under pressure).
Off the board, he’s known for a friendly rivalry with his frequent opponents like nwosun and osvaldobutti, always pushing his skills to new heights. And with a whimsical approach to those mysterious openings, perhaps Carlos's greatest victory is being a chess enigma wrapped inside a riddle—not that he’ll ever reveal his secrets.
Fun fact: Carlos seems to play best around noon, boasting over a 61% win rate at 12 PM — proof that brainwork pairs perfectly with a good lunch!
