Daniel Tembo: The Unstoppable Chess Enthusiast
Meet Daniel Tembo, a chess player whose journey is as dynamic as a game of blitz itself. Starting
modestly with a blitz rating in the 300s during 2024, Daniel didn't just sit back—he exploded to a blazing 554 in 2025
with nearly a thousand blitz games played. Talk about stamina!
Rapid and Bullet Wiz
Daniel shines particularly in rapid chess, boasting a solid 800+ rating and an impressive average win rate of over 77%
in 2025. When the clock speeds up a notch, Daniel keeps pace, racking a bullet max rating close to 880—fast fingers and
quick wits in action.
Opening Repertoire: A Culinary Delight
With a fondness for classic openings like the Italian Game and the French Defense, Daniel’s win rates often
flirt with 60% or more. The Four Knights Game Italian Variation is a personal favorite, proving he’s fond of company
on the board—and in the kitchen, if the name is any hint.
A Psychological Player with Great Comebacks
Daniel isn't just about quick moves; with a comeback rate over 67%, he’s the chess equivalent of a phoenix rising
from the ashes. His win rate after losing a piece is a perfect 100%, which might just be the best argument to never
