Daniel Salinas - FIDE Master Extraordinaire

Meet Daniel Salinas, a chess warrior who proudly holds the title of FIDE Master. Not just your average player, Daniel is a force to be reckoned with over the chessboard, charming opponents with a win rate that could make grandmasters jealous and a comeback rate that screams “never give up!”.

Since 2020, Daniel’s Blitz journey has been a rollercoaster of nerves and strategy, climbing from a modest 1800s rating up to an impressive peak of 2446 in 2023. If there’s one thing he’s good at, it’s turning the tides — with an 85% comeback rate and a 100% win rate even after losing a piece! It’s safe to say Daniel plays chess like a binge-worthy thriller series, full of unexpected twists.

His style? A patient endgame specialist who loves to grind it out (75% of his games go all the way to the finish) and averages over 70 moves whether he wins or loses — proving he’s in it for the long haul. White pieces are his lucky charm, boasting a 60.4% win rate, while the black side is more of a tactical playground with a respectable 42.8%.

Daniel’s performance varies by day and hour, but if you want to catch him at his sharpest, Tuesday mornings at 10 AM are prime time, where his win rate hits a staggering 90.9%, or late evening at 22:00 with 100% success (the mystery of night owl chess). Beware: tilt is minimal at a factor of 6, so expect cool-headed, resilient play no matter what.

His opening secrets are locked tight, aptly named "Top Secret," but his results speak volumes: a 50% win rate in Blitz, and a dazzling 70% in Rapid games. Daniel’s records show both stalwarts and occasional rivals; while some opponents have escaped unscathed, many have been left pondering their next moves after facing this master.

When Daniel isn’t plotting the next queen sacrifice or setting up a sneaky fork, they enjoy the electric thrill of Bullet chess — lightning-fast duels where every millisecond counts. And while the bullet stats may not be as epic (a humble 1-1), it’s clear that Daniel’s true calling is the calculated dance of Blitz and Rapid.

So next time you sit down at the board against Daniel, remember: you’re not just playing any chess player, you’re sparring with a FIDE Master whose chess brain runs 24/7, capable of mind-boggling comebacks and tactical wizardry. Good luck — you’re going to need it!
