Paolo Ladron de Guevara Pinto

International Master (IM) – The Blitz Maestro

Paolo Ladron de Guevara Pinto is not your everyday chess player; they are an International Master, a title that demands respect and a decent amount of caffeine. Known in the chess world for a fiercely tactical style and a remarkable comeback ability, Paolo makes the chessboard look like a battlefield – and somehow, a playground.

Career Highlights and Style

Paolo’s blitz games are the stuff of legend, boasting a max rating just shy of 2600 and an average that hovers comfortably above 2500 in recent years. With over 490 blitz games under their belt, winning nearly 48% of them, they have proven time and again why lightning-fast thinking and nerves of steel matter.

Their endgame prowess is noteworthy, engaging in endgames more than 80% of the time and squeezing victories with an average of nearly 80 moves per win – talk about stamina! And while their early resignations are rare (only 2.1%), their ability to snatch victory after losing a piece is truly remarkable, holding a perfect 100% win rate once the odds have turned against them.

A Tactical Chameleon

Paolo’s comeback rate is an eye-watering 94.65% – which means if they mess up, they don’t just dust themselves off, they storm back like a chess ninja. With a tilt factor of 12, they manage to keep calm in the eye of chaotic blitz storms better than most, even if sometimes the losses sting.

Performance Trends & Opponents

Weekdays are their playground, especially Thursdays (winning over 54%) and Mondays (a solid 52%). Mornings and late evenings bring mixed results, but hey, who plays serious chess at 4 AM anyway? Their wiliness shows in wins against notoriously tricky opponents like knightmarejoker and estudinandoajedrezrd with a 100% win record - some opponents just can’t keep up!

Personality & Humor

Paolo’s chess journey is a rollercoaster with a tactical twist. With a bullet win rate of 80% (and a perfect winning record in one year’s bullet games), they probably haven’t just memorized openings, but also a few dad jokes to keep opponents guessing. The calm and collected over the board can be contrasted with a likely struggle against the “4 AM coffee” slump – but with a 10-game longest winning streak, this player proves you can’t keep a good IM down.

In short: If chess was a video game, Paolo Ladron de Guevara Pinto would be on “legendary” difficulty – stylish, resilient, and always one step ahead (or at least two moves deep) in the mind games. Keep an eye on this IM who’s both a chess warrior and a tactician par excellence, ready to surprise at every turn.
