Eduardo Tare II: The Blitz Marauder
Eduardo Tare II, known online as EduardoTare, is a relentless online battler with a special love for blitz. From a modest start near the 900s to a peak above 2600, he has built a reputation through sheer volume, creative openings, and an appetite for complications.
From Unknown to 2600
Eduardo's rated journey began in August 2021 with a blitz rating near 974. He improved quickly, crossing 2200 in 2022, reaching the 2400s in 2023, and eventually touching a peak blitz rating of 2627 (2026-03-30). He also crossed 2500 in both bullet and rapid, proving that his skills are not limited to a single time control.
A Style Built on Pressure
With more than 13,000 rated games, Eduardo is a high-volume fighter who thrives when the clock is tight. His white pieces are especially dangerous, with a win rate near 57%, and he has a remarkable 81% comeback rate after falling behind. His best time of day is 16:00, and his 31-game winning streak shows how dangerous he becomes when momentum is on his side.
As White, he usually opens with 1.Nf3 and funnels into the King's Indian Attack, a setup he has played hundreds of times with strong results. He also enjoys the offbeat Hungarian Opening: Wiedenhagen-Beta Gambit, a line that has become a signature weapon in both blitz and bullet. As Black, he leans heavily on the Scandinavian Defense, using it more than 1,600 times across time controls.
Rivalries and Repeat Battles
Eduardo is no stranger to familiar faces. He has faced Tempestly18 23 times and holds a narrow edge in the series. A tougher challenge comes from Patrick Lacey, who has beaten him 13 times in 18 meetings. Another frequent rival, James Bond, has also gotten the better of their head to head battles. These rivalries have shaped his aggressive style and sharpened his fighting spirit.
