Thiago Lima (thilima93): The Chess Adventurer

Meet Thiago Lima, known online as thilima93, a fierce competitor in the rapid chess arena whose rating rollercoaster is as thrilling as a rollercoaster ride at the fair—starting at 579, dropping to a low of 100, and wildly averaging around 180 in recent months. Some might call it inconsistency, but Thiago calls it learning through exhilarating ups and tough downs.

With over 1000 rapid games under his belt, Thiago handles the mysterious and highly classified "Top Secret" openings with almost legendary endurance—clocking a near 47% win rate. His favorite battles often unfold around the French Defense, especially the Knight and Normal Variations, where he boasts a respectable win rate, occasionally catching opponents off guard with a quick resignation or a dramatic queen chase.

Thiago’s style? Let’s call it bold and sometimes impulsive. With an early resignation rate of 24.3%, he’s not one to waste time once the storm clouds appear, but his average moves per win hover at a patient 47 moves, showing he can grind out victories when the moment demands it. His comeback ability is nothing to scoff at either—bouncing back nearly 44% of the time after a blunder or losing a piece.

When it comes to timing, Thiago shines brightest between 7 AM and 10 AM—his “power hours” for making heads spin and pawns tremble. Afternoon showers? More like afternoon wins, with his peak win rate hitting a lightning-fast 67% at 3 PM. But beware late-night games; his win rate dips, proving that even grandmasters need beauty sleep.

Psychologically, Thiago’s tilt factor of 12 means he sometimes lets losses sting (we all do), but his spirited current streak of 3 wins shows resilience and a fierce love of the game. His opponents range from secretive enigmas to familiar rivals like memopus, against whom he’s achieved some sweet victories.

Off the board, Thiago’s games read like a story of thrilling adventures—knights charging, queens hunting, and pawns bravely marching to their destiny. One of his most recent triumphs involved a crafty French Defense Knight Variation where his queen waltzed into enemy territory, forcing resignation in a swift and satisfying stroke of tactical brilliance.

Whether you spot him blitzing in rapid battles or casually trying to execute a flawless endgame, Thiago Lima’s chess journey is packed with passion, surprises, and a quest to someday conquer the chess cosmos—or at least not resign too quickly.
