Danilo Servando: The Chess Adventurer Known as Entanious

Meet Danilo Servando, or as his foes and friends know him online, Entanious. A player whose rating journey is as thrilling as a rollercoaster ride—rising to a Rapid peak of 661 in late 2023 before testing the waters of many chess variations and tempos that would make even seasoned grandmasters raise an eyebrow.

Danilo’s chess story is one marked by a true love for the Queens Pawn Opening, especially the Zukertort Chigorin Variation, where he boasts a respectable win rate of nearly 67% in Rapid games. This preference for the regal queen’s pawn speaks to his classical, strategic approach—though don’t be mistaken, his games can quickly turn tactical and wild!

Rapid games are his playground, with an extensive record of 41 wins against 50 losses and 4 draws. A bit of a glass-half-full player, Danilo doesn’t shy away from battles and has shown impressive grit by staging comebacks nearly 70% of the time after setbacks. His longest winning streak is a proud 4 games, but beware: his longest losing streak reached 8 games, proving even the best have to weather the storm—or maybe just blunder a few times!

Blitz and Bullet chess? Danilo dashes through those too, with Blitz peaks at 350 and Bullet moments of glory hitting 465. His lightning-fast reflexes paired with intuitive tactics make him a formidable opponent in time crunches, even if those pesky losses balance the scales.

Ever wondered when Danilo is at his sharpest? According to his play stats, 1 PM is his prime time, where he scores a flawless 100% win rate (take that, morning meetings!). Yet, his preferred fighting hours range broadly with decent success in the late evening and even early morning hours. Midnight oil burned well for him during memorable wins.

To say he’s a versatile player is an understatement. His top games exhibit a balanced mix of strategic openings and sudden tactical strikes:

• Queens Pawn Opening Zukertort - a go-to with solid success
• Accelerated London System - where he mixes positional play with unexpected twists
• French Defense Normal Variation - a reliable fortress with 50% success and a penchant for draws

His playing style reveals a nuanced chess personality: quick to resign when the tides turn irreversibly (about 4.4% early resign rate), but willing to slug it out in long endgames that average over 41 moves to victory. With a nearly equal success rate when playing White or Black (44.7% wins each), Danilo is clearly comfortable playing both sides of the board’s psychological game.

Notable bragging rights: In one recent Rapid match against steakhouse85, Danilo locked horns in a tense fight with the Queens Pawn Opening Zukertort Variation and clinched a brilliant victory on time. In another spectacular encounter, he outmaneuvered mabraug with a stunning checkmate in a rapid-fire finish—all proof he’s not just a participant in online battles but a true contender.

While every warrior faces setbacks, Danilo’s resilience shines especially on Tuesdays, where he boasts a winning rate over 64%. His psychological tilt factor is a modest 8, suggesting he takes losses in stride—chess, after all, is a marathon, not just a sprint.

So, if you’re ever paired against Entanious, prepare for a chess journey full of strategic puzzles, daring gambits, and moments of pure instinctual blitz. Whether you’re his next opponent or a fellow enthusiast, Danilo Servando’s chess saga is a reminder that passion, perseverance, and a sprinkle of humor make every game worth playing.
