Breno Carvalho - The Enigma of the Board
Breno Carvalho, also known in the chess realms as Nomebrec, is a rapidly ascending force in the world of blitz and rapid chess. With his rating shooting from humble beginnings in 2024 to a blistering 444 in rapid by 2025, Breno has embraced the chaos of the clock with a playful grin and a strategy that’s part science, part art, and part “just winging it.”
Playing Style and Strengths
Breno's approach can be summarized as persistent yet unpredictable. His average game length tells tales of gritty tussles, with victories often clinched around the 47-move mark—proof that he’s ready to go the distance without losing his mind. His win rate with white pieces (56.85%) eclipses his results with black (47.3%), showing that Breno likes to seize the initiative early. His tactical awareness is formidable: an uncanny 100% win rate after losing a piece means he’s the comeback kid everyone fears, and his “comeback rate” sits just above 50%. Berserk mode? Almost.
Blitz and Rapid Wizardry
With a blitz max rating of 378 and a respectable 59.5% win rate, Breno loves the lightning-fast decision-making that blitz demands. Rapid is where he truly shines, notching up 131 wins out of 256 games and climbing steadily. His preferred openings are top secret—as mysterious as his sudden winning streaks (seven games at a time!). Daily chess, however, is clearly his “rest day” with only one game played so far, resulting in a loss, but hey, even champions have off-days.
Rivalries and Records
Not one to shy away from tough opponents, Breno maintains a mixed bag of rivalries. Some opponents like absentg, daafodil, and etbrayan have fallen prey to his tactics, while others like miro303 have managed to hold their ground. The chessboard is his battlefield, and Breno’s win rate over a wide variety of players ranges from zero to a perfect 100%, depending on the day and maybe just how his coffee kicked in.
Fun Facts & Psychological Profile
- Tilt Factor: Relatively low at 7, which means Breno rarely lets a bad move ruin his day—for the most part.
- Rated vs Casual Win Difference: At over 50%, he’s clearly more deadly when the stakes are real. Casual games? Maybe for fun.
- Winning Hours: Early mornings and late nights (3 AM and 15 PM) seem to be magic—he wins over 70% of games played at these hours. Night owl or chess beast? You decide.
In short, Breno Carvalho is a player who combines steadfast resilience with a streak of brilliance, bolstered by a love for fast-paced chess and a penchant for clever comebacks. Anyone facing him should beware: he might just snatch victory when you least expect it.
