Domingos Junior - FIDE Master Extraordinaire
Once upon a chessboard, Domingos Junior emerged from the shadows of 931 blitz rating in 2017 to become a formidable FIDE Master with a blazing peak blitz rating soaring beyond 2600 by 2025. Known online as Domingosjunior, this player’s journey is a thrilling rollercoaster of wins, learning curves, and a sprinkle of untouchable tactical flair.
Starting with a single blitz game (which they won, obviously), Domingos quickly hooked the chess world with a vigorous climb — hitting a sensational 2517 blitz rating by 2023. Their bullet rating tells a similar tale of velocity, smashing through 2500+ with rapid-fire precision and resilience that would make even the fastest grandmasters blink twice.
Style & Strategy
An endgame enthusiast (they face a staggering 72.77% endgame frequency), Domingos is not one to resign early — only giving up 2.78% of the time, probably out of respect for the game. With an average of nearly 67 moves per win, it's clear that Domingos loves the long, strategic dance, fighting every inch of the way until victory is secured. Notably, they bounce back with ferocity, sporting a comeback rate of nearly 78% and boast a perfect 100% win rate after losing a piece — a true Phoenix of the chessboard!
Personality on the Board
With a tilt factor of just 9, Domingos keeps their cool most of the time... though sometimes even champions need a moment with the chessboard’s tea and sympathy. Their psychological game is sharp too, often winning more with White (61.52%) but definitely never a pushover with Black (58.3%).
Opponents beware: their longest winning streak is an eye-popping 23 games, proving that once Domingos finds their rhythm, it’s practically unstoppable.
