Meet Gabriel Pacheco de Freitas, a resilient rapid chess player navigating the highs and lows of the 64 squares with unwavering spirit and a touch of humor. While he may not have reached Grandmaster status just yet, Gabriel’s peak rapid rating of 1324 (achieved in July 2021) and blitz max of 609 show a player determined to improve, one move at a time.

His rapid journey is a rollercoaster, featuring epic swings from a humble 305 to soaring highs near the mid-1300s. With over 800 rapid games logged, Gabriel has racked up 375 wins, 442 losses, and a modest sprinkling of draws. Not one to shy away from adversity, his comeback rate hovers at a respectable 54.43%, proving he’s far from a quitter even when the going gets tough.

Gabriel’s style? He’s a tactical explorer who plays a lot of the Englund Gambit, where he boasts an impressive 60.87% win rate – a perfect playground for those who like to surprise opponents early on. Other favorite openings include the classical Bishop’s Opening and the King’s Pawn King’s Knight Variation, both bringing a solid ~63% win rate.

When playing, Gabriel seems to shine in the early morning hours, clocking his best win rate at 6 AM with an uncanny 73.33% success rate – a true dawn warrior! Sundays are especially kind too, with a win rate exceeding 61%. Better watch out if you challenge him while he's sipping his morning coffee!

Gabriel’s games tend to last longer when he wins (46 moves on average) than when he loses (27 moves), suggesting he's a patient strategist who likes to grind out a win rather than blitzing through. Despite the almost Soviet-era level of endurance sometimes, his longest winning streak is an admirable 9 games, while on the flip side, he’s survived a harsh 22-game losing streak – talk about experience in the trenches!

Recent Highlights:

• Just a few days ago, Gabriel demonstrated his trademark resolve by conquering the Englund Gambit with a brilliant victory over ri7_mak on May 29, 2025.
• Even losses come with style: a tough game against pacsboi on May 29, 2025, ended after a gritty battle featuring the Caro-Kann Defense.

Gabriel might not be your overnight chess superstar, but his steady climb, willingness to experiment, and a seemingly endless supply of games played demonstrate a player with heart, humor, and an eagerness to outwit opponents piece by piece. His tilt factor is a manageable 22%, so when he’s down, you can bet he bounces back smarter and sassier.

In short: Gabriel Pacheco de Freitas — a chess aficionado who prefers the thrill of the fight over sheer rating numbers, a lover of gambits, and a foe best approached with caution, especially before his morning cup of coffee.
