Luis Longo (aka Longuitou)
Meet Luis Longo, a chess enthusiast whose online rating graph resembles a thrilling roller coaster — but hey, it’s all part of the game! Known in the chess community as Longuitou, Luis has participated in thousands of games across Blitz, Rapid, and Daily formats, proving to be a relentless competitor and a master of "Top Secret" openings (we suspect he's hiding his favorite tactics).
Playing Style & Strengths
Luis is no quitter, maintaining a low early resignation rate of just 3.73%. A strategic thinker, he enjoys endgames, with over half his games reaching this phase — averaging around 57 moves per win and braving nearly 60 moves per loss. With a near-even split between white and black pieces win rate (around 48%), Luis shows versatility in tackling opponents head-on.
His tactical awareness is impressive: featuring a remarkable 66% comeback rate and a flawless 100% win rate after losing a piece. When life throws him curveballs (chess-wise), Luis has a mere 7.34% rate of one-sided losses — a testament to his resilience and fighting spirit.
Performance Highlights
- Blitz: Max rating of 727 in 2025, with over 2,900 games played and an almost 50% win rate.
- Rapid: Peak rating near 965, showcasing faster thinking and crushing nearly half of his games.
- Daily: Just a single game, but don’t count him out for long!
Quirky Facts
Luis has tangled with a galaxy of opponents (from idolbaebi to marcelo_hxh) and has legendary win streaks under his belt — once winning 11 consecutive games! Though sometimes a victim of the infamous chess "tilt" (tilt factor 9), he bounces back quickly.
Oddly enough, the prime hours for his victories hover in mornings and early afternoons (9 AM to 2 PM), where his win percentages flirt with 55%. Perhaps fueled by caffeine, inspiration, or sheer stubbornness?
Summary
Luis Longo is more than just a chess player — he’s a determined tactician, a formidable opponent, and a delightful enigma wrapped in a pawn’s disguise. Whether diving deep into endgames or pulling off epic comebacks, Longuitou keeps the chess world guessing and entertained. Watch out, the “Top Secret” opening might just be his next surprise move!
