Rating & Stats

Playing Style

Carlos has a fascinating playing style, blending a moderately high early resignation rate of 3.15% with a love for the endgame, engaging in one nearly 60% of his battles. He averages around 58 moves per game whether winning or losing, showing he’s not one to give up without a fight—unless he’s really, really sure he’s toast.

His love for long battles is evident, but when the chips are down, his comeback rate of 62.17% reveals a gritty fighter who refuses to fold even after losing a piece. Tilt factor is a solid 14 — so yes, he might rant a bit after blundering a queen, but hey, who doesn’t?

Favorite Openings

Now, Carlos doesn’t shy away from some classic opening duels. His top picks include:

• Owens Defense with a win rate just shy of 50%, playing nearly 1,158 bullet games—talk about commitment!
• Reti Opening Queenside Fianchetto Variation, where he shines brightest with a 54%+ win rate, showcasing a fondness for elegant flank play.
• Bishops Opening, where despite a near-even split in results, he loves the rich tactical possibilities.

Psychological Wars & Trends

Carlos is quite the night owl, peaking in performance at 3 AM (yes, when normal people are dreaming of checkmate, he’s making it happen). His highest win percentages come between 1 AM and 6 AM — clearly, caffeine and quiet nights are his secret weapons.

He prefers Monday and Saturday, with win rates hovering slightly above 50%, proving he’s ready to kick off the week and cap it off with a win. Also, his inclination to win more when rated below his opponents (70% win rate!) hints at a fearless underdog attitude—who needs to be favored when you can bring the heat?

Recent Triumphs and Challenges

Notorious for his sharp finish, his latest win was a swift and ruthless checkmate via the Reti Opening Queenside Fianchetto Variation, executed flawlessly against “Husterk70.” If you blinked, you missed it!

However, even warriors have their off days. His recent loss came at the hands of “sahilali99,” a brutal sting on time, reminding us all that even grandmasters of their own couches can mismanage the clock.

Fun Facts & Quirks

• Average number of moves for wins and losses are almost identical, proving Carlos likes a good strategic standoff.
• Despite the tilt factor, his one-sided loss rate is impressively low (4.65%), suggesting lousy luck rarely turns into utter disaster.
• Known opponents either love or hate playing with El_tevas, as his win rates range dramatically — perhaps it’s his unpredictability that makes him tricky!

In summary, Carlos Morales aka El_tevas is your friendly neighborhood chess strategist: a night owl, a tactical brawler, and a passionate defender of every pawn. If you ever face him online, prepare for a battle of brains, endurance, and probably a joke or two about losing your queen to a sneaky pawn.
