Esteban Carrillo: The Chess Cell Enthusiast

Esteban Carrillo, known in some circles simply as "stadire," is a dynamic chess player whose journey through the 64-square battlefield reads like a lively biological experiment—sometimes thriving, sometimes evolving through trial and error.

Rating Evolution & Playing Style

From 2018’s initial rapid rating of 1047 to a steady 629 in 2025, Esteban’s chess rating reflects metabolic shifts of a growing organism adapting to its environment. His style could be described as resilient with a tendency to endgames, boasting an Endgame Frequency of over 61%. He averages around 54 moves before victory, a patient strategist who prefers the long haul, while his games average over 70 moves in losses—clearly not one to resign early, despite a tiny 0.95% early resignation rate. Armed with a comeback rate of a robust 60.28%, Esteban often morphs disadvantage into opportunities, winning 100% of games after losing a piece. Talk about cellular regeneration!

Opening Repertoire

Esteban shows a penchant for classic openings. The King’s Pawn Opening is his most frequent petri dish, with nearly 50% win rate out of 73 games, closely followed by a love for the Van't Kruijs and Bishop’s Openings where his win rate blossoms into the mid-50s percentile. Scandinavian Defense and its intriguing Mieses Kotrc Variation offer a mixed culture with moderate success, proving Esteban is not afraid to experiment with less common DNA strands of chess theory.

Fast-Paced Battles and Tactical Adaptation

Though rapid is his main habitat, Esteban’s blitz and bullet experiments show interesting contrasts—his blitz record is raw and mostly challenging, while bullet reveals an undamped curiosity with modest success. With a tactical awareness sharp enough to win all games after losing a piece, Esteban’s mental mitochondria clearly hum with efficiency.

Psychological & Temporal Rhythms

Usually in control of his neurochemical tilt factor (just a mild 6), Esteban thrives best on Fridays and Thursdays with win rates hovering around 54% and drops into the deeper metabolic lows on Saturdays (just under 30%). Curiously, his best moves tend to occur around noon, with a stellar 80% win rate at hour 12, suggesting perhaps an internal circadian rhythm synchronizing with his brain’s synaptic efficiency.

The Opponent Ecosystem

Esteban’s ‘prey’—or rather, opponents—range widely, but he has notable success against regular challengers like mayank090909, richashn, and 1v4nm4nu, against whom his win rates soar to 100%. Yet others, like vicky8013 and ogkingmoney, remain elusive cells, escaping his grasp so far.

Final Thoughts

Like a dedicated biologist observing the ebb and flow of life, Esteban Carrillo studies the chessboard with patient curiosity and tenacity. Though his numbers suggest a work in progress, his resilience, tactical regeneration, and diverse opening strains make him a fascinating specimen in the grand ecosystem of chess players. Whether he’s cloning openings or mutating strategies, one thing’s certain: Esteban’s chess cells keep dividing, evolving, and thriving.
