Thiago Novillo - Master of the Chessboard (a.k.a Thiago870601)

Meet Thiago Novillo, a fearless chess adventurer whose game is a thrilling rollercoaster of wins, losses, and probably a few shouted curses at inopportune moments. Since 2021, Thiago has consistently improved, climbing from a Rapid rating of 853 to a peak of 1029 in 2024—because who needs sleep when you have pawns to push?

Thiago’s journey in Daily chess started a bit rocky, with more losses than wins in early 2022—but hey, no chess hero's path is without some stumbles. By 2023, Thiago had significantly upped their game, boasting an impressive 39 wins out of 69 Daily games and demonstrating an uncanny ability to bounce back from setbacks with an 81% comeback rate—yes, this player laughs in the face of lost pieces!

Ever the strategist, Thiago has a secret weapon called "Top Secret" openings, used in over 1,700 games with nearly a 47% win rate. Whether they're unleashing it in rapid-fire or leisure Daily games, opponents never quite see it coming.

Thiago’s style is a marathon, not a sprint: averaging around 70 moves to victory, proving patience and endurance are their best friends. Endgames are their playground—appearing in over 74% of games—where Thiago showcases tactical awareness so sharp it could slice through castled defenses like a hot knife through butter.

Psychological armor? Check. With a tilt factor of just 9 (low enough to keep the keyboard intact), Thiago keeps a cool demeanor, even if things don't always go their way—a necessary skill given the complex dance of wins and losses nearly equal across all time controls.

Notable triumphs include a perfect 100% win rate against certain opponents (maybe luck, maybe sheer brilliance) and a knack for capitalizing after losing material with a 100% success in such dire situations. As for losing streaks? The longest was a humble 8 games, but the current streak is zero—proof that every new game is a fresh chance to flip the board (but hopefully not literally).

When asked about their preferred time to play, Thiago is most dangerous around 10 AM with a blistering 70% win rate, so consider that a warning to any early risers seeking a match.

In short, Thiago Novillo might not yet be Grandmaster material, but with resilience, a secret arsenal, and a penchant for theatrical comebacks, they're certainly a formidable opponent on every day of the week.
