Luigi Ciavarra

Who Is Luigi Ciavarra?

Luigi Ciavarra, better known on the board as LUIMAR2005, is a chess player with a very clear habitat: the bullet pool. His online record runs from 2012 to 2024, with a particularly busy stretch from 2017 to 2020. In bullet he has 2,204 wins, 2,300 losses, and 149 draws, which is the scorecard of someone who keeps pressing the clock and the attack. His peak bullet rating was 1981 (2019-03-06), reached in March 2019. He also touched 2074 in blitz in June 2019, so the fast fingers are not a one trick pony.

If bullet chess is a supermarket, Luigi is the person who runs in for milk and leaves with a basket of gambits. His bullet rating history

rises and dips like a roller coaster designed by an optimist. The good news is that he keeps coming back for another ride.

Bullet Style and Opening Habits

His preferred time control appears to be bullet, and his opening menu leans heavily on the Scandinavian Defense. In bullet he has played it 890 times, with 417 wins, 451 losses, and 22 draws. That is not a casual acquaintance. It is a long term relationship with early queen activity and a certain willingness to ignore quiet life.

He also spends serious time in the French Defense: Exchange Variation, with 172 bullet games and a 52.33 percent win rate. In blitz that same French line jumps to 69.05 percent over 42 games. The Sicilian Defense appears often too, with 218 bullet games and a 49.08 percent score. The Czech Defense has been friendly in bullet at 54.55 percent, while the Blackburne Shilling Gambit has a cheeky daily record of three wins from three games. The opening win rate chart

A Scandinavian shaped position he may recognize looks like this:

Nemeses, Favorite Customers, and Clock Drama

Every online chess biography needs a recurring villain, and for Luigi one candidate is Wilson Fuertes. They have met 58 times. Luigi has 16 wins and 42 losses, so this is less a rivalry and more a monthly subscription to difficult positions. On the happier side, giangiscacchi has been a generous host: 31 games, 28 wins for Luigi, and only 3 losses. That is the kind of customer service every bullet player dreams about.

His longest winning streak is 23 games, and his longest losing streak is 20 games. That pair of numbers is very honest. The comeback rate of 80.83 percent suggests he does not fold quietly when the position turns sour. He also reaches the endgame often for a bullet player, with an endgame frequency of 80.87 percent. The average first capture arrives on move 5.43, which is not exactly a peace conference.

Daily and Blitz Side Quests

Daily chess gives Luigi a different rhythm. His daily record is 81 wins, 45 losses, and 5 draws. The Barnes Defense appears with 8 wins from 8 daily games, a spotless record that deserves a small trophy. In blitz his record is 390 wins, 264 losses, and 32 draws. The blitz Scandinavian Defense has a 62.11 percent win rate over 95 games, and the French Exchange reaches 69.05 percent over 42 games. This is where the opening homework pays off, although bullet remains the main stage.
