Not one to shy from a challenge, he’s played a whopping hundreds of Rapid games, racking up over 221 victories against 170 losses — plus, a sprinkling of draws to keep things dramatic.

Opening Repertoires

Valentino favors the classic battlegrounds of chess openings. With a penchant for the Queen’s Pawn Opening and the ever-reliable King’s Pawn Opening, he boasts win rates north of 65% and 73% respectively. The Italian Game and its fiery variations are also part of his tactical arsenal, proving he can both woo and wreck with style.

Playing Style & Quirks

Known for his strategic patience, Valentino averages around 55 moves per game, meaning he likes to settle in for a drawn-out battle rather than blitzing by. With a comeback rate of over 74%, he’s the kind of player who doesn’t panic after losing material but keeps fighting, often turning the tides in his favor.

True to his crafty nature, Valentino is a bit of an early quitter when the chips are down, resigning in roughly 3.5% of games - but hey, even grandmasters have their moments! His best time to strike? The wee hours around 4 AM — when most are asleep, Valentino’s plotting victories in the moonlight.

Notable Rivals and Recent Battles

Some foes have felt his wrath time and again, like kodiaqtaiwan, against whom Valentino boasts a perfect 4-0 record. Others, like antoniousmalak and suniletah, manage to escape with wins — for now.

In a stunning recent game, Valentino executed a beautiful checkmate against MAAAAATTTT923 on June 8, 2025, after a fierce tactical skirmish starting with the Queen’s Pawn Opening. The finish was so clean, one might say the opponent barely saw it coming!
