Profile Summary: Luis Sérgio
Meet Luis Sérgio, a rapid-fire chess enthusiast whose rating rollercoaster could rival any theme park ride! Luis's journey through the 64 squares is a tale of persistence, passion, and a pinch of playful unpredictability.
Beginning with a modest Rapid rating bouncing between the low 300s in early 2024, Luis steadily climbed the ranks to hit a formidable peak Rapid rating of 876 by May 2025—proof that a stubborn pawn can still promote into a queen of the game. Meanwhile, his blitz and bullet skills manifest flashes of brilliance, with peak ratings of 365 and 461 respectively, reminding opponents not to blink when Luis is on the clock.
Luis’s opening repertoire is eclectic and adventurous. He’s no stranger to the King’s Pawn Opening and has generous experience with the Queen’s Pawn Opening Accelerated London System, boasting win rates around 50% with a twist of gambits like the Englund Gambit and solid defenses such as the Scandinavian Defense. His games dance between calculated strategy and spontaneous flair.
On any given day, you might catch Luis battling it out between 5 PM and 7 PM — his prime window where he’s almost unbeatable (if you don’t count the occasional sneaky defeat). With a psychological tilt factor around 12%, he’s surprisingly calm under pressure – though don’t be fooled, he’s ready to bounce back with a staggering 66% comeback rate after losing material. Talk about resilience!
His longest winning streak stands proudly at 15 games, proving that when Luis is in the zone, the chessboard trembles. And though he’s endured a tough 12-game losing streak in the past (because, hey, every grandmaster-in-the-making has those days), he never loses his signature sense of humor about it.
Luis also boasts an amusing habit of wrapping games with exciting finishes: nearly 1,000 wins by resignation and a healthy number of checkmates. When Luis claims victory, it’s often by outsmarting opponents and making them tap out before the checkmate party begins.
