Massimiliano Fico, aka Diplodonte

Title: FIDE Master

Massimiliano Fico, known in the chess circles as Diplodonte, is a seasoned and titled chess player who has mastered the game with a mix of strategic brilliance and a touch of cheeky tenacity. Sporting the esteemed title of FIDE Master, Massimiliano has demonstrated an unwavering dedication to the 64 squares, climbing steadily through the ranks with a peak blitz rating surpassing 2500 and bullet episodes flirting with the upper 2300s.

Chess Journey

Starting with rapid progress in 2017, where his rapid rating soared from 1862 up to 2304 by 2021, Massimiliano has shown steady improvement and resilience. His daily chess adventures recorded an impressive win rate, often mowing through opponents with a mix of tactical flair and endgame prowess. The average game length of roughly 75 moves tells you he’s no impulsive blitzer—this is a player who enjoys the battle as much as the victory.

Playing Style & Personality

With a comeback rate of 88%, Massimiliano has proven that throwing in the towel is not in his vocabulary. After losing a piece, his win rate spikes to a perfect 100%, making him a nightmare for opponents who think they have an easy edge. His psychological tilt factor is a modest 22, suggesting that while he’s human enough to get a bit rattled, he mostly keeps his cool under pressure.

His long winning streaks have reached up to 17 games, but don’t expect him to rest on his laurels—his current streak is always just one game away from becoming legendary.

Favorite Openings & Opponents

Ah, the mysterious side of his openings: listed as "Top Secret," this implies Massimiliano likes to keep his opponents guessing, which is exactly what you want in a chess player who thrives on unpredictability. With a win rate hovering near or above 45% across daily, blitz, and bullet formats in these openings, it's clear this “Top Secret” weapon isn't a secret for long.

Among his regular rivals, "humblespaceman" has tangled with him nearly 400 times, though with Massimiliano winning just a third of those, it’s safe to say the battles are fierce and far from one-sided.
