Shayguico: The Underdog Chess Maestro
Shayguico might not be a household name in the chess world just yet, but don’t let the rating fool you—this player brings a unique blend of resilience, strategic patience, and a healthy sense of humor to the 64 squares.
Rating & Performance
With a peak rapid rating of 1532 and a blitz peak soaring up to 1902, Shayguico’s skill shines especially in the fast-paced blitz format. Not bad for someone who sometimes reminds us all that chess is just as much about perseverance as it is about brilliance! Rapid games tend to be more of a rollercoaster, with win rates hovering just under 27%, and blitz games offering a spicy 16% win rate—because hey, chess is hard.
Playing Style: The Patient Tactician
If there’s one thing to admire about Shayguico, it’s the dedication to the endgame. With 94.12% of games reaching that stage, it’s clear that giving up early isn’t Shayguico’s style. Average moves per game (about 97 moves for a win!) suggest that this player enjoys battling it out until the last bishop pawn dances.
Tactical Awareness & Mental Game
Famous for a stunning 72.73% comeback rate, Shayguico never gives up, even when down a piece. Although wins after losing material only come around 17.39% of the time, the sheer determination level makes every game worth watching. And with a tilt factor of just 5 (understandably low), this player keeps calm and chess on.
Memorable Battles & Opponents
Shayguico’s nemeses include ethylalcohol and berga1201, having faced each four times. Despite a modest win record against them (25% and 25% respectively), Shayguico’s unbeaten streak versus akosiacheng (100% win rate) is a personal victory parade. It's a classic "David vs. Goliath" vibe, with Shayguico often playing the underdog but refusing to bow out gracefully.
Humorous Tidbits

- Best time to play: 11 AM sharp—the wizard hour when the pawns start marching with confidence.
- Favorite way to win: By resignation, proving that sometimes, the mere presence of Shayguico’s kingside strategy terrifies opponents into quitting prematurely.
- White vs. Black win rate: White wins 24% vs Black’s 19.23%—clearly showing an appreciation for the first move advantage, but no grandmaster prejudice here!
