Profile Summary: filipe_daniel

Meet filipe_daniel, a formidable rapid chess enthusiast whose journey is as rollercoaster-like as a gambit gone wild. With a peak rapid rating of 581 achieved in July 2024 and a steady climb thereafter, Filipe’s games are anything but boring.

Known for a curious fondness for the King's Pawn Opening and its King's Knight Variation—where he boasts a solid win rate above 56%—he navigates the 64 squares with both patience and flair. Beware his sly tactical awareness: a comeback rate over 60% means he’s the comeback kid you never see coming.

His preferred battlefield? Rapid time controls, where he battles it out in sharp, thrilling duels. Filipe keeps those claws sharp, favoring openings like Alekhine’s Defense (and winning almost 65% of the time there), while occasionally dancing into less forgiving territory like the Scandinavian Defense, where his win rate dips to a humble 20.83%. Hey, every warrior has their quirks!

Playing Style & Psychological Quirks

• Average moves per win: 43 —he likes to take his time making those checkmates look clean and stylish.
• Early resignation rate: 26% —sometimes Filipe knows when the game’s not worth it and saves us all the suspense.
• White pieces win rate: 49%; Black pieces win rate: 45% —clearly comfortable and dangerous on both sides of the board.
• Tilt factor of 11 keeps him grounded, but watch out after that first loss; his comeback skills are legendary.

Career Highlights & Rivalries

Filipe’s longest winning streak stands impressively at 11 games, a testament to his strategic prowess and perhaps some good fortune. His equally painful longest losing streak matches that number, adding drama to his chess saga.

Among his fiercest opponents is jpaulojp, against whom he holds a spectacular 81.48% win rate over 27 encounters — clearly, Filipe has this rival’s number. On the flip side, players like tatira0 manage to get the better of him occasionally, reminding us that every king can be toppled.

Memorable Moves

Nothing spices up chess like a dazzling checkmate, and Filipe has delivered a few! One of his latest victories featured a swift finish using the King’s Pawn Opening, culminating in a classic queen final strike. When playing Alekhine’s Defense, his tactical brilliance shone through again, culminating in a checkmate at an impressively rapid pace.

Fun Facts

• Despite the ups and downs, he’s never afraid to play a bold early queen sortie, catching unsuspecting opponents off guard.
• Rapid games are his jam, but he’s played just two Daily games. Daily chess fans, where you at?
• Loyal to his openings, he often tries the rare Van 't Kruijs Opening, with an impressive 63% win rate — because why be ordinary?

All in all, filipe_daniel is an exciting player to watch—a blend of resilience, tactical cunning, and a dash of unpredictability. Whether you're an aspiring chess player or just here for some entertainment, keep an eye on this one! Checkmate may be just a few bold moves away.
