Profile Summary: Ricardo Aguiar (ricardoaguiar07)
Meet Ricardo Aguiar, a warrior of the 64 squares who dances deftly between Bullet blizzards and Rapid riddles like a true chess ninja. With a peak Blitz rating flirting with 1595 and a Rapid zenith at 1600, Ricardo has shown he's no stranger to the intensity of high-speed tactical combat — but don’t be fooled, his Daily games also hit a respectable 1139, proving he's got the endurance for the long haul.
Known for his steadfast devotion to the Scandinavian Defense and its many thrilling variations, Ricardo has amassed over 1700 games in this opening alone — often securing solid victories with an almost stubborn 50%+ win rate against vast opposition. When forced to mix it up, his Modern Defense and Nimzowitsch maneuvers keep opponents on their toes, reflecting a clever mind that loves to challenge convention.
With a win/loss record neck-and-neck, this player could be mistaken for a coin toss left in the hands of chess fate. But Ricardo defies randomness with a comeback rate of 79% and a tactical alertness that has him bouncing back from losing pieces with a respectable 45% win rate. He plays long, deliberate endgames (average moves per win over 63!) and abhors early quits—only resigning prematurely about half a percent of the time.
Not just a numbers guy, Ricardo’s psychological game hints at a tilt factor of 13, so he’s mostly cool-headed but perhaps occasionally unleashes a frustrated groan when the chess gods are feeling mischievous. Oh, and if you want to catch him at his best, try challenging him around 1 PM — his best time of day to play.
In matches, he’s as versatile on the clock as a Swiss Army knife. Whether it’s the lightning Bullet games peppered with tension and swift moves or measured Rapid battles, Ricardo adapts. He’s battled some of the fiercest usernames on Chess.com, going toe to toe with "rideordei" the most (73 games!) — making friends, foes, and flashy games along the way.
And when he wins, oh boy, does he win spectacularly. His latest Daily victory was sealed with a checkmate after a hard-fought battle filled with maneuvers and sacrifices — a true testament to his patience, precision, and perhaps a dash of daily caffeine.
In short, Ricardo Aguiar is like that secret sauce in your favorite gourmet dish: a spicy blend of tenacity, tactical acumen, and an enduring love for the game. Whether you face him in Bullet or Rapid, prepare for a challenge — and maybe a few entertaining blunders.
