David Iván Arvizu Borchardt - The National Master with a Tactical Flair

Also known online as BorchisChess, David Iván Arvizu Borchardt is no ordinary chess enthusiast. Holding the prestigious title of National Master, David has steadily carved a niche in the fast-paced world of bullet and blitz chess, with rapid flair to boot.

Since bursting onto the scene around 2019, David's chess journey resembles a rollercoaster — with rating climbs, occasional dips, and a relentless pursuit of excellence. Starting with a bullet rating under 1000 in 2020, they catapulted into the 2400s by 2022, showcasing blistering speed and precision (and a little bit of caffeine-fueled madness perhaps).

David’s favorite battlefield? Bullet and blitz — where reflexes meet razor-sharp calculation. In bullet chess alone, they've played over 2,600 games, winning a commendable 877, which suggests that their fingers move almost as fast as their mind. In blitz, the win count nudges close to 1,000 victories, proving that when the clock ticks down, David thrives.

Not just a speed demon, David’s tactical awareness is impressive — a comeback success rate over 80% and an astonishing 95% win rate after losing a piece. If chess were a movie, David would be the hero who slips into a tough spot only to turn the tables at the last moment. Rival players beware: once a piece is lost, retreat is probably futile.

Their playing style marries patience and persistence — averaging around 66 moves per win or loss — indicative that David enjoys a slow burn as much as a quick spark. The endgame is a familiar friend, appearing in over 70% of games. When playing White, David tends to hold a slight edge with a nearly 56% win rate. Black? Still formidable with over 50% wins.

David's psychological resilience is tested by a Tilt Factor of 17 — which implies even the best have their off moments (human after all!) — but their determination surely keeps them returning to the board with fresh focus.

Off the board, they're a mystery wrapped in a chessboard: consistently using “Top Secret” openings that keep opponents guessing and unable to prepare in advance. Achieving longest winning streaks of up to 20 games, this player mixes strategic brilliance with a hint of chess ninja stealth.

Whether battling veterans or fresh-faced challengers (with win rates often above 60% against many frequent opponents), David Iván Arvizu Borchardt is a formidable name to remember in the National chess community — a charming mix of speed, skill, and a touch of the unexpected.

Fun fact: If you catch David online, beware a sudden flurry of moves that might feel like the keyboard is possessed — that's just "BorchisChess" awakening their inner lightning bolt!

Snapshot

  • Current strength: around 2472 (2020-12-19) with a sharp, initiative-driven style.

  • Typical openings: Trompowsky / London-type set-ups as White, Pirc-/Lion- / Sicilian side-lines as Black.

What already works

  1. Early initiative. Your wins often feature pawn storms (…f5, g4-g5) that put the opponent on the back foot by move 15.
  2. Tactical alertness when attacking. In the miniature against dovijanic you calculated 13…f4! and 22…Qxh2# flawlessly.
  3. Conversion skills when clearly ahead. Once the enemy king is exposed you rarely let the prey escape; most victories end before move 30.

Most recent illustrative games

Last decisive win (22-move mating attack)
Last decisive loss (Rossolimo – missed central passer)

Main improvement themes

1 · King safety before pawn storms

Losses to Pancontomate12 (…Qxb2#) and MITerryble reveal a tendency to castle long and push g-/h-pawns while b-/c-files remain undefended. Adopt the rule “connect rooks first, storm later”.

2 · Clock management

  • Four of the last seven defeats were on time. Create a 10-move autopilot repertoire so the opening costs <10 seconds.
  • Use a “five-second cut-off”: if calculation stalls, play the safest of your two leading candidates.
  • Practise pre-moving winning endgames (e.g. 57…g2! in the SnailChessYT game) to finish efficiently.

3 · Closed-centre plans

In Lion/Pirc structures you sometimes run out of ideas once the centre locks. Study typical breaks with …c5/…f5 (Black) and c4/f4 (White), knight reroutes (Nd7-f8-g6) and rook lifts (Rf3-h3). Recommended model: Kramnik–Topalov, Linares 1998.

4 · Defensive resilience

Against strong opposition the attack will not always land; you need a “hold & counter” mode. Set up slightly worse positions vs an engine capped at 2500 and try to survive 30 moves. Pay special attention to passed-pawn elimination techniques – 22…Nd4! in the Rossolimo game was the critical resource you missed.

Four-week micro-training plan

WeekFocusConcrete task
1Opening hygieneBuild a 15-move file vs Rossolimo; review 20 flashcards daily.
2Clock controlPlay 10 games 5 | 5; aim to keep >4 s per move until move 15.

4Endgame techniquePlay 20 tablebase positions a pawn up vs Stockfish 5.

Glossary boosters

Add these to your study list: overextension, passed pawn, rook lift, fortress.

Final thought

Your attacking flair is a genuine weapon; combine it with steadier structure and stricter time discipline, and breaking the 2500 barrier this season is realistic. Keep the balance between sting and structure – the results will follow!

Good luck and see you at the board!
