Fernando Almeida Monteiro (aka TraKeNHD)

Meet Fernando Almeida Monteiro, a fierce combatant on the digital 64 squares, better known by his cunning alias TraKeNHD. This maestro of the rapid format dances on the board with a peak rating flirting with 711 in early 2025, wielding his knights and bishops with both mischief and precision.

While not exactly storming the gates of grandmasterdom just yet, Fernando balances his chess rollercoaster with a love-hate relationship reflected in almost as many wins as losses—344 victories and 356 defeats in rapid alone. Draws? A modest 32, because who likes splitting the point when you can play for the win or spectacularly crash?

When it comes to preferred weapons in his opening arsenal, Fernando seems to favor the classic and the curious alike. His trusty King's Pawn Opening delivers a winning smile with over 52% success, along with a surprisingly trusty Englund Gambit that rattles opponents with nearly 60% wins—because why not throw in some gambit chaos to keep things spicy? The Scandinavian Defense also features prominently, especially in blitz where he boasts an impressive 71% win rate.

But don’t be fooled by statistics alone. Fernando's style boasts a humble early resignation rate of about 10%, possibly a testament to his stubborn resilience (or sometimes merciful self-awareness). His average decisive games linger around 52 moves, showing he's not afraid of the long haul—even if that means occasionally losing by a whisker.

Psychological factors? Tilt’s only at 11, so while he occasionally feels the heat, he bounces back with a spectacular 68% comeback rate after falling behind—a true fighter spirit! And if you're wondering when to challenge him, try catching him during the 10 AM hour, his statistically best time to play and strike fear into opponents.

Despite a less-than-stellar bullet record (zero wins out of six games—rookie status clearly!), his blitz peak rating of 976 reveals an explosive speed chess potential just waiting to go viral (or at least go viral among friends).

Off the board, Fernando might be the kind of player who's as charming as he is tenacious, often challenging friend and foe alike like boubidibule or diagonal-monkey, some of his frequently faced rivals, with an impressively high win percentage against many adversaries such as ziiztosovic (100% wins!)—a fact that might cause some sweaty seconds on the clock.
