Ivan Andrade - FIDE Master Extraordinaire
Meet Ivan Andrade, also known in the chess world as ivandrade10, a player who has proudly earned the title of FIDE Master. With a flair for blitz chess, Ivan has dazzled opponents with a peak blitz rating soaring to an impressive 2409 in mid-2025. His rapid and bullet play aren't too shabby either, boasting peak ratings above 2100 and 1600 respectively.
A Career of Highs, Lows, and Tactical Wizardry
Since 2011, Ivan's chess journey has been one of consistent progress sprinkled with moments of pure genius. Although he occasionally rides the rollercoaster of wins and losses (a not-so-funny losing streak once stretched to 9 games), his resilience shines in an extraordinary 86.66% comeback rate. When pieces go missing, Ivan doesn’t just crumble — he fights back with a win rate close to 45% after losing material. Apparently, giving up early isn't his style, as signaled by a low early resignation rate of just 2.7%.
The Attack and Defense
Ivan is no one-trick pony: his opening repertoire is a rich tapestry. From the mysterious Top Secret opening with almost 112 games, to the sharp Sicilian Najdorf English Attack, and the classy King's Indian Defense, he has a diverse arsenal. His win rates vary, but he shows particular prowess with the King's Indian and Canal Attacks, each boasting a neat 50% win ratio.
Personality & Quirks
Not just a chess-playing machine, Ivan plays best at odd hours — his best time of day to compete is at 2 AM, which suggests night owl tendencies or perhaps a secret nocturnal pact with the chess gods. Despite a psychologically challenging tilt factor of 9 (yes, even masters get flustered), he manages to maintain a long average game length near 73 moves, proving he loves a drawn-out strategic battle over quick-fire checkmates.
Recent Highlights & Memorable Battles
His latest blitz triumphs include a hard-fought victory against FMalexhdez, sealing the win on time after a grueling Sicilian Najdorf English Attack battle. While losses happen (don't we all?), Ivan learns and adapts. His resilience after defeat is remarkable, and his matches often swing like a thrilling chess thriller.
A Statistician’s Dream
- Total Blitz Games: Over 1,500 played with nearly as many wins as losses (726 wins vs. 788 losses)
- Win Rate against Lower Rated Opponents: A commanding 68%
- Average Moves Per Win: Approximately 73 moves - stamina and strategy are his friends
- Favorite Days to Win: Monday & Wednesday show top win percentages, meaning the start of the week brings his A-game
In Short
Ivan Andrade is a chess warrior with a title, a vibrant tactical mind, and a love for the long game. Whether battling opponents at dawn or dusk, he embodies the fighting spirit of a true FIDE Master: persistent, unpredictable, and never without a trick or two up his sleeve. Stay tuned for his next move, and beware — he might just win on time or by a surprise sacrifice that leaves you scratching your head!
