About Igor Lopes (igorlfab)

Igor Lopes, a spirited chess enthusiast known online as igorlfab, has been carving out a niche in the rapid chess circuits since 2022, with a spirited peak rating of 295 that rivals a queen’s lethal reach. Igor's blitz performance might currently be a fledgling hatchling at 119, but don't be fooled — in the rapid format, his moves are as calculated as enzymes catalyzing a reaction, and just as precise.

With nearly 200 rapid games under his belt, Igor has shown a penchant for openings that sprout clever budding positions: from the classical Kings Pawn Opening to the more exotic Vienna Game, where he boasts an 80% win rate — talk about a genetic advantage! His favorite opening moves are like Darwinian adaptations, surviving and thriving against a variety of opponents, including some tough competitors who’ve felt the sting of his tactical pincers.

Igor’s playstyle leans towards strategy with a side of patience — averaging over 32 moves to win and even longer battles averaging 46 moves in losses, proving he’s not just a flash-in-the-pan but an endurance player capable of evolving midgame. His comeback rate of over 27% and a perfect 100% win rate after losing a piece show an impressive resilience—the true mark of a player with nerves of steel and a mind wired for survival.

Psychological factors? Igor keeps his tilt factor low at 5%, remaining cool under pressure — a chess version of cold-blooded biology. Whether it's early morning or late night (peak winning hour at 13:00 with 100% victories!), he consistently adapts his game, proving he’s a master of biological rhythms and time management.

While Igor is still cultivating his blitz skills, with only a single game recorded in 2024, his growing rapid experience and impressive win rates hint at an evolution yet to fully bloom. Opponents beware: Igor Lopes is an unstoppable force in the rapid leagues, ready to seed checkmate before you can say "checkmate."

Stay tuned as this chess player continues to mutate, adapt, and conquer the 64 squares of the battlefield!
