Roberto Junio Brito Molina (RobertoJBM)
International Master Extraordinaire
Meet Roberto Junio Brito Molina, or as chess aficionados like to call him, RobertoJBM — a mighty International Master who has danced across the 64 squares with elegance, ruthlessness, and a little bit of flair for the dramatic! With a peak Blitz rating soaring to an astonishing 2924 (achieved in early 2025), Roberto doesn’t just play chess; he practically composes symphonies in rapid-fire fashion.
Born for speed and precision, his Bullet rating once peaked at 2902, proving that when the clock is ticking and nerves are frayed, he thrives like a caffeine-powered knight on a mission. His Rapid play, while enjoyable at a more relaxed pace, boasts a solid peak of 2349, showing versatility across all time controls.
A Career of Streaks and Strategy
With a jaw-dropping longest winning streak of 44 consecutive games, Roberto has at times steamrolled through opponents like a rook on an open file. And sure, the game isn’t always easy — his longest losing streak stands at 36 — but this IM bounces back with the resilience of a pawn ready to promote.
Roberto’s playing style is a delicate cocktail: he resigns early only 0.75% of the time (because who likes to give up?), enjoys endgames in nearly 87% of his games (the real battlefield where legends are made), and maintains a White win rate of 53.88% — just enough to keep his opponents guessing and his fans on the edge of their seats.
Top Opening Choices
- Top Secret — a mysterious repertoire that encompasses 19,381 blitz games with an almost 50% win rate. What’s the secret? Only Roberto knows...
- Colle System — a humble opening that sneaks in with less success, but hey, you can’t win them all!
- Indian Game Yusupov Rubinstein System & King’s Indian Attack — favorite battlegrounds where he claims nearly half of his games with style.
The Human Behind the Moves
When not tearing up the bullet and blitz leaderboards, Roberto enjoys perfecting his comebacks — with an impressive 86.17% comeback rate after losing a position. Forget superheroes, this IM has a chess cape sewn with determination!
His best time to play? The witching hour around 3 AM, where every pawn push and knight fork turns into magic. Beware opponents, as his victory often arrives when others are counting sheep.
