Sergio Graca

Sergio Graca - The Blitz Tactician

Once upon a time, in the pixelated arenas of online chess, a player named Sergio Graca (known by his username s_graca) emerged with a flair for the fast and furious—Blitz chess, to be precise. If quick thinking and rapid moves were a sport, Sergio would have a gold medal hanging next to his mouse.

Sergio's journey started back in 2013, where his Blitz rating flirted with the 1000s like a curious teenager testing the waters. Over the years, his skill sharpened, peaking at a respectable 1128 in March 2019—a number that says, “I can handle the pressure of a ticking clock without losing my sanity.”

Not one to shy away from complexity, Sergio loves the Italian Game, daring opponents to navigate its tactical labyrinths. With an 45.61% win rate in this opening alone, he's proven he’s quite the chef in this classic opening kitchen. Also notable is his penchant for the Sicilian Defense Smith-Morra Gambit, boasting an impressive 50.92% win rate—a recipe for chaos and brilliance.

Chess Style & Psychology

A blend of patience and tactical prowess, Sergio prefers longer fights, averaging about 67 moves in his wins. Unsurprisingly, he isn't fond of resigning early — only about 1.13% of his games end prematurely at his own concession. A subtle strategist, he shines brightest when the clock strikes 14:00, his personal chess prime time.

When facing adversity, Sergio's resilience is remarkable. With a comeback rate of 80.59% and a cool 41.46% win rate even after losing a piece, giving up is just not in his book. That tilt factor though, at 12, reminds us even grandmasters sweat over unexpected blunders!

In a recent clash against REYANSHTOOCOOL2013, Sergio pulled off a beautiful checkmate, ending the game with a flourish:

Playing Time & Preferences

When it comes to timing, Sergio is quite the night owl with a sharp spike of wins after 9 PM, but interestingly, his best playing hour is 14:00 when braincells align perfectly (probably fueled by a good cup of coffee). He's predominantly a Blitz aficionado, thrashing away at the 3-5 minute games with speed and accuracy.

His record across time controls is a testament to his dedication: over 3,600 wins in Blitz, weaving through over 8,000 games like an enthusiastic gladiator. Rapid and Daily games adorn his profile too, with classic endurance and patience.

Fun Fact

Despite playing thousands of games at insane speeds, Sergio still manages to keep his cool... most of the time. His longest winning streak is 11, and his longest losing streak is also... 12. It seems even the finest kings and queens stumble now and then!

Whether he's tactically outsmarting opponents with the Smith-Morra Gambit or firing up the Ruy Lopez Cozio Defense, Sergio Graca remains a player to watch with a fearless heart and a mouse ready for action!
