Maco Borges

Profile Summary: Maco Borges (Username: MACOBDD)

Meet Maco Borges, a relentless tactician who dominates the Rapid chess arena like a knight on a caffeinated spree. With a peak rating of 365 achieved recently in June 2025, Maco shows a penchant for outmaneuvering opponents through calculated precision and occasional surprising gambits.

Whether unleashing the Four Knights Game Italian Variation with a 75% win rate or flawlessly executing the King’s Pawn Opening - King’s Knight Variation boasting a perfect 100% success, Maco’s opening repertoire is as diverse as it is effective. But don’t let the smiles fool you; Maco also has a love-hate relationship with some risky openings like the Van Geet Opening Reversed Nimzowitsch Variation, which stubbornly holds a 0% win rate across a handful of encounters. Every chess master has their Achilles' heel!

The bullet games may not be Maco’s kind of breeze — with a peak rating of 210 and a bit of a rough patch at 100 lately — but the rapid games tell a story of consistent grit and a knack for comebacks, boasting a commendable 54.69% comeback rate. Maco is not one to give up easily; a losing streak is quickly turned into a winning spree, evidenced by a current winning streak of 4 and a longest ever streak of 6 games.

When the clock winds down, Maco prefers to seal victories with elegant checkmates or the good old-fashioned resignation, with 24 wins by checkmate and 26 wins by resignation — showing both theatrical flair and strategic mastery. Timeout losses remind us that even great players forget the clock sometimes.

Maco prefers chess battles at early evening hours, shining brightest around 19:00, where a 66.67% win rate seems to confirm that it’s prime power hour. Playing mostly in the Rapid format, Maco’s average winning game length is around 43 moves, proving that patience paired with tactical wand-waving usually pays off.
