Chess Player Biography: Simao2720

Meet Simao2720, the chess warrior who defies conventional rating norms with a style all their own. From bullet to rapid, blitz to whispered top-secret openings, Simao2720 is a player who shows grit, occasional flashes of brilliance, and an unmistakable flair for the dramatic.

Starting off in 2023 with a blazing bullet rating of 401 (albeit in just one game), Simao2720's rapid adventures have been far more prolific with hundreds of games logged and some truly heroic comebacks — boasting a stunning 57% comeback rate and winning 100% of games after losing a piece. Forget despair, this player turns adversity into opportunity!

In blitz, Simao2720’s favorite move might be the early resignation — but only about 5% of the time — proving they have a stubborn streak that perseveres through the chaos. Their games tend to stretch out, averaging nearly 46 moves for wins and a reflective 57 moves before losses. Clearly, patience and endurance are part of the arsenal.

Speaking of openings, the legendary Top Secret approach is a hallmark of Simao2720's playstyle, especially in rapid and blitz formats, winning close to 40% of the time over more than 300 matches. When it comes to fancy defenses, the French Defense Knight Variation and the Italian Game – Two Knights Defense have been showcases of perfection, a 100% win rate in those rare appearances!

Popular opponents beware: Simao2720's record is a rollercoaster, with solid rivalries and mixed fortunes. Sometimes they feast on less fortunate foes with perfect win records, and sometimes they meet their match. But hey, what chess player doesn't?

When it comes to timing, evenings and late afternoons (especially Thursday evenings and the 9 AM hour!) seem to ignite Simao2720’s winning spirit — perhaps fueled by coffee, sheer stubbornness, or that elusive "chess zen."

Their psychological profile hints at a player who occasionally gets tilted (14% tilt factor), but bounces back ready to battle again. Rated games bring a slight dip in winning comfort compared to casual matches, but the fight never stops.

In short, Simao2720 is not just a competitor; they’re a chess adventurer who plays with heart, humor, and a curious mixture of secret moves and well-known classics. A mosaic of victories, defeats, and draws, bound to keep audiences entertained and opponents on their toes.

Keep your king safe — Simao2720 might just have a trick up their sleeve!

Feedback for Simao2720

What you are already doing well

  • Early castling & king safety: In nearly every game you castle by move 5–6, which keeps your king secure and lets your rooks connect sooner.
  • Eye for tactics: Your recent miniature against plaf_chess ended with the clean combination 26.Qxf7+ Kh8 27.Rxh7#. Spotting that mating motif shows tactical alertness.
  • Willingness to fight for the initiative: Advances such as 7.f4 (vs Plaf_chess) demonstrate that you like to seize space and create threats rather than waiting passively.

Key areas to improve

  1. Opening discipline
    • Side-pawn lunges (g-pawn Grob, a-pawn pushes) often leave you under-developed and down material.
    • Stick to the basics: occupy the centre, develop minor pieces, castle, then launch pawn storms.
    Challenge: For your next 20 games, avoid moving the a-, h- or g-pawns before move 7 unless it is forced.
  2. Piece safety & counting
    In the loss to mr-j-24 you dropped two pawns and a piece because of overlooked captures (…Nxb2, …Bxd4). Train yourself to do a 3-second “blunder check” before every move: “If I play this, what can my opponent capture?”
  3. Time management
    Two recent defeats were flagged or timed-out positions you were still fighting in. Try the “40/20 rule”: spend at most 40 seconds on any single move and keep 20 seconds in reserve for the last 10 moves.
  4. Endgame conversion
    The win vs Ya2n62 drifted into a 60-move rook-pawn ending that could have finished sooner. A firmer grasp of basic rook endgames will save you energy and clock time.
