His blitz performance tells a similar story, flashing to a peak of 2444, and his rapid games, while fewer, show a promising 2212 peak rating. Daniel’s style is a blend of patience and tactical flair, savoring the endgame like a fine wine and not resigning at the first sign of trouble – his comeback rate is an impressive 75%, proving he’s the kind of player who fights to the last pawn.
Psychologically, Daniel maintains a tilt factor of 8, so don't expect him to rage quit after a bad move – he’s seen worse and came back stronger. His best time to strike is around 9 AM, so if you find yourself facing him early morning, beware: you might be in for a long day!
