Felipe Menna Barreto: The FIDE Master with a Secretive Opening
Meet Felipe Menna Barreto, a chess tactician officially titled as a FIDE Master who has mastered the art of striking with a mysterious arsenal he simply calls "Top Secret." While his opponents might wish for a peek at his opening playbook, Felipe prefers to keep them guessing — and evidently, it works quite well!
In 2014, Felipe's blitz rating peaked at a solid 2300, showcasing his rapid-fire reflexes and sharp strategic mind. His bullet rating during the same era clocked in around 2189, proving he's no stranger to lightning-fast decisions — though at these speeds, maybe he just blinks and hopes for the best.
Known for a longest winning streak of 5 games and an endgame prowess that emerges in over 60% of his matches, Felipe doesn’t concede easily. His average winning game spans about 47 moves, a nice blend of patience and precision, whereas losses tend to drag longer — an average of 92 moves — perhaps illustrating his stubborn refusal to give up without a fight.
When playing white, Felipe secures victory 60% of the time, and playing black doesn't excuse him either, with a solid 55.56% win rate. His tactical awareness is top-notch, boasting a 100% win rate after losing a piece — because who needs all their pieces to win anyway?
Opponents beware: players like john_menna have lost 80% of their encounters with Felipe, while others like kroum and camelb have seen the entirety of his tactical fury, going down 100% of the time. Some adversaries, however, have found his enigmatic playstyle a tougher nut to crack — such as paymanmoafimadani, who emerged victorious without a single win for Felipe.
Felipe’s performance varies by the time of day and week — he’s practically unbeatable on Saturdays (100% win rate) and during the midnight hour (0:00) when most are asleep — though Fridays might as well be his “bring your toughest games” day, with only a modest 33.33% win record.
Despite a low tilt factor of just 2, indicating a cool-headed player hardly shaken by setbacks, Felipe's ratings suggest that casual games hold a special challenge for him — with a 30-point lower win difference compared to rated matches, perhaps casual play is where he lets his hair down and laughs at the chaos.
All in all, Felipe Menna Barreto is a steady force in the chess world: mysterious, resilient, and occasionally unpredictable. Opponents, take heed — you're not just facing a player, but a strategic enigma wrapped in “Top Secret” openings and a FIDE Master’s resolve.
