Grandmaster Omar Almeida Quintana (GMALMEIDA)

Omar Almeida Quintana, known in the chess cell as GMALMEIDA, is a true Grandmaster who has mastered the biological art of the game with a flair that would make any chessboard sprout roots and grow wings. With a career blossoming over many years, Omar has cultivated his strategies with more care than a botanist tending to his prized specimens.

His rapid growth in Rapid Chess showcases his nimble mind — hitting a peak rating of 2709 and maintaining a blistering win rate of 72% using the mysterious and top secret openings he's clearly kept well-guarded in his mental DNA. From the foundations of blitz, where his lightning-fast tactics strike like a sudden swarm, with a peak rating near 2870 and over 1,000 games played, to putting the pedal to the metal in bullet chess, Omar’s style is a perfect evolution of precision and speed.

Omar's playing style is akin to a resilient cell – rarely resigning early (only 1.4%) and showing phenomenal endgame strength in 85% of his matches. His average game length suggests a patient nucleus that prefers to nurture the position to perfection, with average moves per win close to 78. Even when pieces are lost, Omar's "comeback rate" is an astonishing 92.7% — a true testament to his regenerative tactical awareness and mental resilience.

Among his competitive rivals, Omar has cultivated certain favorite opponents with win rates often blooming to 100%, proving his dominance in the ecosystem of competitive chess. Notably, he's grown long winning streaks (up to 12 games) that demonstrate his unstoppable photosynthesis of chess mastery.

His daily chess rating might be at a modest 800-ish for now, but rapid and blitz are where his neurons really fire. Plus, his win rates by time of day suggest his cognitive mitochondria power up best during late afternoons and twilight, lighting up the 18:00 and 23:00 hours with over 65% success. It's clear GMALMEIDA thrives when conditions are optimal and his synapses are firing on all cylinders.

With a blend of speed, accuracy and tactical regeneration, Omar Almeida Quintana remains a grandmaster whose style grows and adapts dynamically in the wild terrain of competitive chess – an unstoppable force in the ever-evolving game where every move is a new cell dividing and conquering the board.
