Jaime Vaglio IM

Jaime Vaglio - International Master

Jaime Vaglio, known in the chess world and on the board as valemava, is an International Master whose blitz games reflect both stamina and sharp tactical prowess. With a peak blitz rating reaching an impressive 2517 in 2023, Jaime has played over 17,000 blitz games, showing commitment worthy of a grandmaster's countenance and maybe a caffeine addiction or two.

Chess Journey & Style

Jaime's style is characterized by endurance and a love for the endgame, with an 87% endgame frequency—proving that Jaime doesn't just run out the clock but sprints to the finish line. Average games trudge along with over 76 moves to a win, showing patience and perseverance, while losses casually stretch over 91 moves, perhaps pondering where things went wrong (or enjoying the agony a little too much).

Known for an astonishing 100% win rate after losing a piece (yes, 100%! The opponent better watch out), Jaime’s comeback skills could probably inspire a blockbuster movie called “The IM Strikes Back.” However, an early resignation rate of just 0.63% reveals a strong fighting spirit—Jaime doesn’t quit until the fat lady sings (or the queen captures the king).

Competitive Edge

Jaime boasts a near-even blazing blitz record with 8,931 wins against 8,077 losses and a handful of draws, highlighting a sharp, aggressive, and sometimes slightly risky style. The longest winning streak stands at a brutal 19 games, a streak many dream of, but Jaime’s current streak is a humble zero, proof that even elite players have their off moments.

With a "tilt factor" of 15 (chess psychologists, take note), Jaime manages a solid mental game but like all humans, occasionally experiences the frustration every player knows. The warm-up includes matches at dawn or the morning 4-5 AM hours where Jaime’s win rate hilariously spikes to 55%, suggesting caffeine or sheer madness fuels those games.

Rivalries & Records

Among Jaime’s frequent opponents, players like delax001 (87 games) and atrozen (49 games) have battled valiantly, but Jaime holds a respectable win rate. Intriguingly, against some opponents Jaime’s win rate is a perfect 100%, while others bring out the rare losses—proving that even the best have nemeses.

In Summary

Jaime Vaglio's chess life is a testament to dedication, tactical prowess, and a dash of grit. Whether it's a blitz battle at 3 AM or a marathon 90+ move showdown, Jaime plays like a champion with a smile and an opening named “Top Secret” (because, naturally, who would reveal it?). For aspiring players, Jaime's career is motivation and proof that resilience, humor, and a little madness are key ingredients on the road to chess mastery.
