Eric Yuhan Li - International Master of the 64 Squares
Known in the chess world by the fearsome moniker Commando_Droid, Eric Yuhan Li is not your average chess player — they’re an International Master, a title granted by FIDE that signals elite mastery of this ancient battlefield.
Eric’s chess journey is one of resilience, strategy, and occasional tactical flair. With peak ratings soaring to 2326 in Rapid, a blazing 2819 in Blitz, and an astonishing 2967 in Bullet — yes, those last numbers look like rocket science but they're all about rapid-fire brainpower!

A master of comebacks, Eric converts lost-piece scenarios into triumphs more than 60% of the time.
