Sílvio P. Carvalho (CHESILVIO) - The Chess Enthusiast with a Tactical Twist

Meet Sílvio P. Carvalho, known on the digital battlefield as CHESILVIO, a resilient and spirited chess player who approaches the game with both passion and a sprinkle of humor. Sílvio may not be storming grandmaster ranks (yet!), but his dedication and tenacity shine through in every blitz, rapid, and bullet game.

Starting around 2023, Sílvio's blitz rating climbed from just over 1000 to a proud peak of 1548 in 2024 — a true testament to countless hours battling the clock and the board. While bullet chess remains a rare battlefield (only 3 recorded games), rapid and blitz formats are Sílvio’s main arenas, with nearly 6,000 blitz games under his belt alone.

When it comes to wins and losses, Sílvio plays a balanced game - with approximately as many wins as losses in blitz, showing that every opponent is both a challenge and a teacher. His longest winning streak of 12 games shows that when the stars align, he’s an unstoppable force... until the next caffeine crash.

Tactical prowess? Oh yes! Sílvio boasts an incredible 100% win rate after losing a piece – a true phoenix rising from material deficit ashes. His comeback rate is an astonishing 87%, suggesting that giving up? Not in his vocabulary. Quietly confident, he rarely resigns early and enjoys battles lasting around 70 moves, because who doesn’t love a good endgame drama?

His playing style shows love for the endgame, and he’s equally comfortable playing white or black, holding roughly a 47% win rate on both sides. However, careful opponents beware, Sílvio's tilt factor of 11 means he has a feisty spirit – he’s especially motivated to rebound after setbacks, turning pressure into creative counterattacks.

Whether it’s evening blitz games when his win rate hits almost 53% around 17:00, or late-night battles with a cool 52% success at 23:00, Sílvio adjusts to his rhythm, keeping the game lively and opponents guessing. His chess journey isn't just about numbers — it’s about a love for the game, a dash of humor, and relentless fighting spirit.

In short, Sílvio P. Carvalho is the kind of player who proves that in chess, resilience and a smile can checkmate even the toughest challenges. So next time you see CHESILVIO on the board, prepare for a tough fight and possibly a joke or two!
