National Master - The Blitz Enthusiast
Meet Lucas Aparecido Oliveira Dos Santos, known in the chess world – and on the board – as lukazz029. With the prestigious title of National Master under his belt, Lucas has proven himself to be a formidable competitor who loves to dance with the clock, especially in blitz chess where his peak rating soared to a striking 2258 in March 2021. That’s some serious speed, folks!
Lucas’s chess journey is a rollercoaster of sharp tactics and fiery endgames. With an impressive comeback rate of 84%, it's safe to say he never backs down, even when the chips are down. His average winning game clocks around 69 moves, which means he patiently outmaneuvers his opponents yet loves to strike with precision when it counts.
As a player who enjoys cracking open games with whatever opening he fancies – from the classic French Defense variations to the flamboyant Englund Gambit – Lucas’s style is as versatile as it is unpredictable. He’s notorious for a 3.94% early resignation rate, proving that he sometimes knows when the party’s over, but his endgame frequency of over 66% suggests many battles are won in those gritty final moments.
When asked about his best time to play, chess fans will be glad to know Lucas's brain is at its sharpest right at 7 AM – a strategy to conquer the early birds? His psychological defense against tilt is strong, sporting a low tilt factor of 17, meaning you’re unlikely to see him rage-quit after one bad move.
Fun fact: With a tested win percentage slightly better with white (51.28%) than black (47.62%), Lucas embraces both sides of the battlefield with equal enthusiasm – proving that it’s not just the color of the pieces, but the player behind them that truly matters.
