Daniel Anwuli (aka Danhy) - International Master Extraordinaire
Meet Daniel Anwuli, a chess player whose skill has earned them the prestigious title of International Master from FIDE. Whether going by Daniel or their stealthy username "Danhy," this player masterfully navigates the 64 squares with style, grit, and just a touch of mischief.
A Bullet and Blitz Virtuoso
Daniel isn't just your average chess enthusiast; they're a speed maestro in both Bullet and Blitz formats. At their peak, Daniel blitzed their way to a Bullet rating near 2500 and a Blitz rating soaring slightly above that, touching 2515 in 2016. That’s faster than most coffee brews and quicker than you can say "checkmate."
The Stats that Tell the Tale
- Over 8,000 Bullet games logged with a near 47% win rate. That's a ton of adrenaline-fueled encounters!
- Nearly 9,000 Blitz games played, holding an impressive 47% win rate against fierce competition.
- A Rapid record that’s downright dominant: an 89% win rate! When Daniel's taking it slightly slower, watch out.
- Strong psychological resilience with an 83% comeback rate after losing material—because giving up is so last season.
Playing Style & Quirks
Daniel is the type who doesn’t quit early, with a low resignation rate and an average game length pushing 70+ moves on victories—true grit on display. Their evenings peak around 2 pm when the tactical juices flow best, proving that even chess prodigies like a good power hour. And while their longest winning streak is a jaw-dropping 23 games, Daniel knows that every chessboard battle is an epic saga filled with twists, turns, and sometimes a dramatic loss (cue the longest losing streak of 17).
Recent Battles
Recently, Danhy clinched a win with the sly Van 't Kruijs Opening, outlasting the clock with nerves of steel. Equally impressive, their defenses are tested too, facing opponents who managed to snatch a victory here and there—but that just fuels the fire for the next match.
Final Word
Daniel Anwuli is not just a chess player; they are a powerhouse of tactical finesse, strategic depth, and rapid-fire intuition. Whether it’s a casual online skirmish or a serious rated duel, Daniel (or Danhy) plays with passion—and a wink to the unpredictable. One might say their chessboard is their playground, and every game an adventure waiting to unfold.
