Mauricio Adasme (louadasme) - Candidate Master Extraordinaire
Mauricio Adasme, also known in chess circles as louadasme, is a titled chess player proudly holding the respected FIDE title of Candidate Master. While the chessboard is his battlefield, Mauricio is more of a blitz and bullet warrior who fearlessly dives into lightning-fast games with an average blitz rating hovering around 2200 and a recent peak soaring above 2360! Not bad for someone who probably started out as a pawn shop enthusiast.
Career Highlights & Style
Mauricio's style is a curious blend of gritty resilience and tactical flair. Blessed with a comeback rate close to 85%, he thrives when the going gets tough, often turning losing positions around with a sassy smile (in his head at least). His endgame prowess is apparent—over 81% of his games see him battle it out until the final moves—because resigning early just isn't his style (even though he admits to a 0.4 early resignation rate, because hey, nobody's perfect).
Ratings & Performance
Since 2017, Mauricio has consistently maintained solid blitz and bullet ratings, with his blitz rating peaking recently in late 2024 at a formidable 2361. Bullet hasn't been neglected either, topping out over 2080 in 2021. His win-rate sitting comfortably above 50% for both formats shows a player rarely rattled by online pressure.
Favorite Openings & Strategies
What sets Mauricio apart? A secret mix of classical and “Top Secret” openings – okay, maybe not top secret to chess computers, but definitely to many opponents! He favors the Indian Game and various Sicilian Defense variations, especially the Canal Attack and Nyezhmetdinov Rossolimo lines, boasting winning percentages that would make any opponent sweat. Also worth noting is his curious fondness for “Unknown Opening” moves—perhaps a hint that he likes to keep his rivals on their toes with unpredictable plays.
The Human Behind the Moves
When Mauricio isn't setting up his knights or calculating those dazzling tactics, you might find him perfecting his timing. His prime chess hours appear to be early mornings, especially around 7 AM, where his win rate skyrockets (maybe fueled by caffeine and optimism). On top of that, he’s proudly accumulated notable winning streaks—an impressive 12 wins in a row at one point, proving that when Mauricio catches fire, he’s a force to be reckoned with.
Recent Games: Checkmate is a Habit
In one delightful recent example, Mauricio demolished "TheRock2077" with a sharp checkmate victory, showcasing his trademark precision and endgame stamina. When he’s not checkmating, he’s grinding wins on time against tough opponents. Losses? Sure, they happen, but Mauricio's psychological resilience (tilt factor 9, quite low for a competitive blitzster) ensures he bounces back quickly without blaming his mouse or connection.
Trivia
- Longest winning streak: 12 games — That’s almost as long as a Netflix series binge!
- Current losing streak? Just 1 — Resilience in action.
- Favorite time to play: Early morning hours, probably while the world is still waking up.
- Prefers full-length battles over quick resignations (though admits to a tiny 0.4% early resignation habit).
Mauricio Adasme isn’t just a chess player; he’s a chess enthusiast with the heart of a fighter and the mind of a strategist. Whether you end up on the sharp end of his Sicilian defenses or caught in the crush of a classic endgame, one thing’s for sure: facing louadasme is never dull.
