Playing Style & Personality
Bernardo is no stranger to intense endgames, with a remarkable 75% endgame frequency, solidifying him as a player who thrives when the board is bare and the stakes are high. When losing a piece, Bernardo's comeback rate of nearly 78% shows a resilience that could inspire novels (or at least great commentary).
Beware if playing MFBerna around 10 AM – statistics show he peaks his game then, while his 'tilt factor' is modest at 20, meaning he keeps cool even if you try to unleash the dreaded “Blunder Storm.” Also, his average game length is about 73 moves, so settle in for a strategic marathon rather than a sprint!
Favorite Openings
Bernardo displays affection for some classical and secretive lines:
- Unknown Opening in daily and blitz games—because mystery is the spice of chess life.
- Top Secret openings with near 50% win rate—just don’t ask what those moves are.
- Not to brag, but average win rates across others like French Defense and Caro-Kann suggest he enjoys keeping opponents guessing – or bewildered.
Recent Battles
Bernardo’s latest conquest was a thrilling win against 00000Daniel on June 3, 2025, featuring a precise Sicilian Defense - Mengarini Variation where resignation was the polite way out for the opponent after an 28-move tango. Of course, every victory is celebrated modestly — right after a quick rematch challenge!
Losses come and go, as with his recent match against michael124667, but rest assured MFBerna’s spirit remains unbroken – after all, it's just another opportunity to analyze and smile at that missed tactic.
In Summary
