W. Daniel – The Chess Enigma
Meet W. Daniel, also known in certain circles as bototillo, a chess player whose journey on the 64 squares resembles an epic saga filled with comebacks, surprising wins, and the occasional tilt-induced eyebrow raise. From starting humbly with a Daily rating of 546 in 2022, Daniel has climbed steadily, breaking the 1000 barrier in 2025 with a peak Daily rating of 1046. Not bad for someone who sometimes might wish to resign early (12% early resignation rate, but hey, who’s counting?).
A true tactician at heart, Daniel boasts a remarkable 66% comeback rate and a flawless 100% win record after losing a piece – talk about turning lemons into chess victories! While the Endgame is often the battleground where Daniel feels most at home (engaging in over 58% of games past move 50), victories aren’t handed out for free: average wins span a marathon-like 54 moves, while losses tend to drag even longer.
W. Daniel’s style might keep opponents guessing, but consistency is there: with an average win rate around 48% in Daily games, and an almost even split playing White or Black (win rates of 47.3% and 47.6%, respectively), this player thrives on balance and fighting spirit. Day or night, Daniel is ready to play; notably successful at 6 AM with a 75% win rate, and surprisingly solid during afternoon hours – though the 22:00 hour somehow proves to be his chess nemesis with just over 22% success.
Daniel’s tournament record reveals fierce rivalries and varied fortunes. Some opponents, such as hajgsdgggfk, can’t score a single point against him (100% win rate!), while others like grandpj prove tougher challenges. Despite occasional setbacks, Daniel’s longest winning streak of 11 games showcases that once he gets going, it’s hard to stop the juggernaut.
Whether blitz, rapid, or daily, Daniel fights valiantly – even if blitz seems less forgiving (a modest 38% win rate there). Known for a sense of humor and good sportsmanship, W. Daniel continues to sharpen his skills one game at a time, proving that chess is not just a game, but a lifelong adventure – preferably one with plenty of dramatic comebacks.
