Daniel Pereira - The Streamer With a Chess Board and a Webcam
Known in the chess world as Danielfla, Daniel Pereira combines the serious art of bullet chess with the casual charm of streaming. He's a player who has traveled the rating rollercoaster since 2016 and recently hit a strong peak of over 2100 in both Bullet and Blitz – a feat for anyone who still sometimes blunders their king!
Playing Style and Stats
Daniel’s chess style is a cocktail: a dash of stubbornness (he’s had some long streaks of both wins and losses), a splash of comebacks, and a hint of accusation towards his sometimes questionable "Tilt Factor"—a measly 13, proving he keeps his cool most of the time.
He enjoys endgames more than your average player, with an endgame frequency of nearly 77%. His games tend to be battles of attrition, with wins coming around 72 moves on average, although losses tend to be slightly longer—hope he’s not procrastinating his defeats too much!
Opening Preferences
On the board, Daniel favors the Closed Sicilian Defense - Grand Prix Attack and the Alekhine’s Defense variations, mixing solid and aggressive, sometimes to hilarious results. He’s got balanced results in the openings, flirting with a 50-50 win rate in Bullet and an even better vibe in Blitz, where he hugs the Closed Sicilian like an old friend.
Streamer Extraordinaire
Off the board, Daniel rocks the streaming world! With a chessboard, a microphone, and a contagious love for the game, he engages viewers with his tactical acumen (83.7% comeback rate) and occasional blunders that keep everyone chuckling. Not every streamer can survive brutal bullet games while keeping an average win rate close to half over nearly 12,000 bullet games—Danielfla does.
Recent Performance
Recently, Daniel secured a neat victory against beingdaydreamer with a resignation victory in a tense bullet game, showing that even small advantages can lead to big wins in his hands. Of course, he’s not immune to occasional checkmate losses — but hey, no one’s perfect when playing at the speed of lightning!

Daniel’s best time to play? At 7:00 AM! Not your usual chess wizard’s hour, but when you're a streamer juggling games and caffeine, daylight can be negotiable.
