Luis Paulo Supi, Grandmaster of Blitz Chess
Luis Paulo Supi, known online as LPSupi, is a Brazilian chess grandmaster and popular chess streamer. With more than 17,000 recorded blitz games in the supplied statistics, Supi has made fast chess look less like a time control and more like a lifestyle choice.
His online career combines elite tactical skill, endurance, and the occasional willingness to play enough games in one sitting to make a chess clock ask for a vacation.
A Specialist in Speed and Pressure
Blitz is clearly Supi's preferred battlefield. His recorded blitz results include 9,278 wins, 5,902 losses, and 1,713 draws, alongside a peak blitz rating of 3,212. His longest winning streak reached 20 games, a run that suggests his opponents were not merely losing, but struggling to find the pause button.
Supi's competitive record also shows notable strength in bullet and rapid chess. His peak bullet rating exceeded 3,000, while his rapid results include a particularly impressive 428 wins against 81 losses.
Opening Repertoire
Supi's opening choices reveal a player who is comfortable in both principled and chaotic positions. The Caro-Kann Defense is one of his most frequently played systems, producing a strong 58.31% blitz win rate. The Sicilian Defense and its Najdorf Variation also feature prominently, giving his games the tactical tension expected from a grandmaster who does not believe quiet evenings are necessary.
- Caro-Kann Defense: 638 blitz games and a 58.31% win rate.
- Sicilian Defense: 490 blitz games and a 56.94% win rate.
- Sicilian Najdorf Variation: 553 blitz games and a 53.53% win rate.
- Blackburne Shilling Gambit: 448 blitz games, proving that even a grandmaster occasionally enjoys putting serious opening theory in a blender.
In rapid chess, Supi's results are even more striking in several openings, including the Italian Game, the Blackburne Shilling Gambit, and the Caro-Kann Defense.
Style and Streaming Presence
Supi's statistics point to an active, tactical style. He delivers the first check in more than half of his analyzed games and wins nearly 60% of games after checking first. His comeback rate is listed at 88.74%, suggesting that losing material is not always a crisis in the Supi universe. Sometimes it is simply an invitation to make the position more complicated.
