Rating & Style
Maikon is a rapid chess enthusiast whose rating journey is nothing short of a rollercoaster ride, peaking at an impressive 631 in May 2025. Though the bullet and blitz ratings may seem modest (185 and 395 respectively), Maikon’s true strength shines through in rapid games where he’s played over 1,600 battles, with a win-loss-draw record that reflects both grit and gallantry: 680 wins, 835 losses, and 92 draws.
Opening Repertoire
This player favors classic e4 and d4 openings with a flair for the Reti and King's Pawn systems. Maikon shows a particular fondness for the King’s Pawn Opening - King’s Knight Variation and the Leonardis Variation, where his win rates hover around 46-47%. But beware the Owens Defense and Queen’s Pawn Opening where the struggle is real, with win rates dipping below 35%. It’s all part of Maikon’s journey through strategic chaos!
Psych & Play

His approach is patient, averaging nearly 55 moves per win, proving he’s in it for the long haul. White pieces give him slightly more luck (42.89% win rate) than black (40.41%), but either way, Maikon keeps his opponents guessing.
Trends & Trivia
The best time to catch Maikon in action? 8 AM sharp — the crack of dawn for chess brilliance. However, beware if you challenge him on a Sunday, where he enjoys a juicy 57.6% win rate. He’s got a “tilt factor” of 9, meaning a few setbacks might make him grumble, but the spirit to bounce back remains strong.

His games often reflect a strategic dance, sometimes ending in fiery tactics, sometimes in marathon endgames.
In summary, Maikon is a dedicated rapid player whose passion for chess shines through despite the ups and downs of rating swings.
