Malo Guyomard — The Rapid Fire Tactician

Meet Malo Guyomard, known by many as malllloooo on the digital battlefield of chess. Malo is a rapid chess enthusiast whose games are as dynamic as his rating journey — starting from a modest 226, soaring to a peak of 584 in March 2025, and settling around a solid 515 by June 2025. Like a rollercoaster with a few loops, Malo’s rating graph mirrors his fearless style at the board.

Playing Style & Strengths

Malo prefers to waltz through the Rapid time control, painting the board with a tactical brush. His love for early adventures is obvious from his favorite openings: the aggressive Englund Gambit boasts a spicy 69% win rate, while the classy Philidor Defense and the sharp King's Pawn Opening Leonardis Variation yield winning percentages of 60% and 75% respectively. Apparently, Malo likes to keep his opponents guessing—and losing.

A master of comebacks, Malo possesses an impressive 83.46% "come back from behind" rate, meaning when the tides seem to turn, he’s often the one who pulls a rabbit out of a hat. Conversely, his early resignation rate of just over 4% shows he’s not one to surrender lightly, though he does have a slightly higher inclination to call it quits on a bad day — nobody’s perfect.

Competition & Opponents

Over 225 rapid games have seen Malo face a rainbow of rivals. He boasts a perfect 100% record against several opponents such as omkarrocxx and shakes_w, and enjoys a comfortable upper hand versus many others.
