Chito Danilo Garma (garmasky)
Known across the chessboard as garmasky, Chito Danilo Garma is a determined and clever chess enthusiast steadily climbing the ranks of the online chess world. Starting from a modest rapid rating of 1528 in 2019, Chito has evolved into a formidable opponent, boasting peak ratings of 2392 in Rapid, 2445 in Blitz, and an impressive 2326 in Bullet. An all-around rapid thinker and tactician, garmasky plays with a blend of sharp opening preparation and resilient endgame techniques.
Playing Style
With an endgame frequency of over 68%, Chito is clearly someone who enjoys grinding out wins beyond the opening skirmishes. His average winning game length in moves is about 64, signaling a player who thinks long and hard before claiming that sweet victory. True to his fighting spirit, his comeback rate hovers at a remarkable 87%, proving that even if the chips are down, he isn't going down without a fight.
White pieces are his lucky charm, with a strong win rate of 68%, while playing Black still garners a very respectable close to 59% success. Early resignation is rare in his games — only about 7.7%, meaning he’s in it till the end (or at least until his opponent blunders spectacularly).
Opening Repertoire: The Sicilian and Friends
Chito has made a name for himself as a Sicilian aficionado, especially crushing the Najdorf variations with impressive win rates above 80%, including a near 91% win rate with the Najdorf English Attack. When not navigating the murky waters of the Sicilian, he flirts with the Caro-Kann and even Alekhine’s Defense, always ready to throw an unexpected twist to throw his opponent off balance.
