Renato Julian Vidal Prado (natolibra)

Meet Renato Julian Vidal Prado, better known in the chess realm as natolibra, a rapid specialist who dances with tactical fireworks and doesn't surrender on the first hint of trouble. With a peak rapid rating of 770 achieved in December 2024, he’s a testament to perseverance — his journey has been full of dramatic comebacks and occasional detours through loss territory.

Renato prefers the Rapid time control, where his average game length clocks in at around 65 moves — a sign he's in it for the long, strategic haul rather than quick blitz skirmishes. His endgame frequency is impressively high at nearly 70%, meaning many battles are won or lost in the cold, calculative final stretches.

Style-wise, Renato is a mix of calculated resilience and a pinch of psychological flair: he boasts a nearly 79% win rate versus lower-rated opponents but knows well the hard knocks of facing superior foes, where he struggles with an 82% loss rate. Talk about the classic underdog spirit! His tilt factor of 13 indicates that even when things get rough, he keeps his cool better than most mere mortals would.

Always ready to brave the battlefield, Renato has a respectable longest winning streak of 16 games, proving he can hold court like a grandmaster in his prime. But beware his longest losing streak of 13 — a rough patch that could inspire an epic comeback story.
