Profile Summary: Rogerio de Oliveira (rogeriomacgiver)

Rogerio de Oliveira, known in the chess world as rogeriomacgiver, is quite the adventurous tactician on the digital 64 squares. Although his ratings might not intimidate grandmasters, his tenacity and quirky style have earned him a notable presence among rapid and blitz players alike.

Rating Rollercoaster

Rogerio’s peak rapid rating hit 1034 back in early 2020, proving his rapid-fire thinking can indeed deliver some sparks. Blaze through blitz games brought him a highest score of 1020, and he even flirted with near-1000 bullet rating territory at 959. Not bad for someone who probably screams "checkmate!" after every lucky strike.

Playing Style

Rogerio’s approach to chess is a delightful combo of solid strategy and daring tactics. With an average winning game lasting about 51 moves, and losses pushing closer to 59 moves, this player certainly knows how to drag the drama until the endgame. He loves early resignations around 4.66% of the time, likely when his coffee supply runs low or Netflix calls.

His tactics include an impressive 75.57% comeback rate; basically, when the chips are down and pieces are lost, Rogerio is the comeback king. He’s no stranger to psychological warfare either, maintaining a respectable tilt factor of 13, which means he can stay relatively cool even after a bad move but might occasionally yell “Are you kidding me?!” at the screen.

Opening Repertoire

A lover of diverse openings, Rogerio dabbles in the Nimzowitsch Defense and the Scandinavian Defense with notable win rates hovering around 50-58% in rapid games. In blitz, his Scandinavian Defense really shines, boasting a fantastic 70% win rate. The King’s Pawn Opening, the classic choice of many, gives him solid results but unless you tilt him first, he’ll tilt you back with some unexpected twists!

Recent Triumphs & Trials

Recently, rogeriomacgiver showed his mettle with a slick checkmate victory in a rapid game against spectre_j, concluding the battle with the poetic final move: 56. Rxf7#. Not one to be easily discouraged, he’s also experienced some tough losses by time and technique, but of course, what’s a chess journey without a few epic blunders?
