MFguimaraes – A Chess Journey in Numbers

MFguimaraes is a dedicated and versatile chess competitor whose career reflects steady progress, deep analytical understanding and an unyielding spirit. His evolution is evident in the upward trend of his ratings over the years – from a strong blitz performance in 2018 with ratings around 2307–2308, through notable improvements in 2020 when he achieved a Daily rating of 2004 and rapid scores surpassing 2030. In recent years, his blitz and rapid play have remained competitive, while his bullet ratings have continued to rise, reaching 2467 in 2025.

Beyond raw numbers, MFguimaraes’ playing style is characterized by resilience in the face of adversity. His tactical awareness stands out with an impressive comeback rate of nearly 90% and a striking ability to convert positions even after material setbacks, evidenced by a win rate after losing a piece that borders on perfection. His game tends to extend into the endgame – with nearly 80% of his encounters reaching the later stages – and he averages around 77 moves in wins and losses alike, a testament to his commitment to navigating complex positions.

His opening repertoire is richly varied. MFguimaraes is known to experiment and refine his strategies in both classical and hyperaccelerated formats, excelling in bullet and blitz where his performance across numerous openings suggests both solid preparation and occasional willingness to take calculated risks. Whether it is a traditional approach as Black or a creative strategy with White (with win rates slightly favoring his White performances), his games display an engaging blend of strategy and tactical nuance.

Time‐performance data indicate that MFguimaraes is a consistent performer across the week – with win rates above 47% on most days – and he adapts well to various time controls, finding that his peak performances often occur during key periods of the day. His psychological fortitude is equally impressive; with a low early resignation rate and a modest tilt factor, he enters each game focused and undeterred by previous setbacks. Despite facing a wide range of opponents (from frequent adversaries like tpros and albert_castillo to more recent challengers), his record reflects a player who learns and evolves from every encounter.

In summary, MFguimaraes’ journey is one of continuous improvement and discipline. His robust tactical prowess, a broad opening repertoire and a calm, analytical mindset combine to make him a formidable competitor at every level, whose career statistics reflect both his growth and enduring passion for the game.

Olá, Diogo Duarte Guimarães!

Parabéns pelo excelente nível (≃ ).
Abaixo vai uma análise honesta e objetiva para ajudá-lo a dar o próximo salto.

🥇 Pontos fortes

  • Iniciativa agressiva: vitórias como a contra greenchessangel mostram domínio de rook lift (Re3-Rh3-Rh7#) – belo exemplo de rook lift executado com tempo curto.
  • Visão táctica: padrões de sacrifício em h6/h7 aparecem em várias partidas; você calcula até o mate.
  • Repertório coeso contra 1…e6: conhece profundamente as linhas da French Defense Advance; costuma sair da abertura com vantagem de espaço.
  • Finalizações práticas: quando entra em finais simplificados, converte com confiança, mesmo sob 20 s (vide win vs. wander1ust8).

🔍 Padrões recorrentes

  • Uso frequente do plano Qh5-h6 + sacrifícios na ala do rei.
  • Pawns «g-h» avançados cedo – ótimo para atacar, mas também origem de problemas nas derrotas.
  • Aceita complicações materiais (ex.: 22…Rxf2!? vs. Dream_Bigger) – coragem boa, mas nem sempre justificada.

⚠️ Oportunidades de melhoria

  1. Proflaxia antes do ataque – Na derrota para king0857 seu 14…h6 abriu a coluna h sem avaliar a resposta Bxh6!.
    Momento crítico:
    Treine “pergunte-se o que meu oponente quer” em cada lance.
  2. Contra 1.d4 – Várias perdas de Slav (D11/D12). Você enfrenta o lance Qh4–h5 + Bxh6 de novo por falta de plano claro. Sugestão:
    • Estude a linha …h6 …Nd5 …g6 (Evitar Bxh6)
    • Ou mude para Caro-Kann Panov ou Grünfeld para sair da zona desconfortável.
  3. Gestão de tempo – Relógio cai perto de 30 s mesmo em posições tranquilas. Integre exercícios de blitz de 1 min Think-Then-Move:
    1. 3 min diárias de puzzles → voz alta “tema, candidato, cálculo”.
    2. 5 partidas 1 | 0 focando em jogar de instinto a abertura.

    01234567891011121314151617181920212223100%0%Hour of Day
    .
  4. Finais de peões – vs. g6 h5 (derrota para d06extraordinaire) você subestimou zugzwang. Reserve 30 min/semana ao manual de finais (Capitulos 1-3 de Dvoretsky’s Endgame Manual).

📈 Acompanhamento

  • Revise todas as partidas em que permitiu Qh4/Bxh6 e anote “ponto de decisão”.
  • Pratique 20 puzzles tema “defesa contra sacrifício na ala do rei” – use filtros.
  • Grave 3 bases PGN: Vitórias modelo, Derrotas chave, NOVIDADES de abertura.

💬 Última palavra

Continue jogando com confiança – seu estilo agressivo é uma arma valiosa. Pequenas melhorias defensivas fecharão o “calcanhar de Aquiles” e o empurrarão para 2500+. Estou à disposição para analisar partidas específicas quando quiser!
