Profile: Danielleml1

Meet Danielleml1, a rapid chess player whose rating journey in 2025 is nothing short of a thrilling rollercoaster ride! Starting the year with a blazing 217 rating in January, Danielle took a brief dip, slumped to 100 in February, only to rocket back up past 270 by April, hitting a peak rating of 273. A true fighter, it seems in every month Danielle proves that resilience and persistence pay off.

Chess Style & Personality

Danielleml1’s style is a curious blend of grit and tact—known for fighting back fiercely with a comeback rate of 61%! Not afraid to resign early (~10% of games), they prefer to save energy for those complex endgames, appearing in nearly 62% of matches. Danielle’s average wins last about 62 moves, which probably means they don’t believe in quick wins but rather in wearing down their opponents slowly and steadily.

White squares or black, Danielle is comfortable on both sides of the board with a win rate just shy of 41% playing White and an improved 43% when playing Black. It’s clear that whenever possible, Danielle likes to keep the pressure on – especially with openings like the King’s Pawn Opening, boasting a solid 56% win rate and a special affinity for the Van Geet Opening which they’ve used in 35 rapid games.

Competitive Track Record

With an even split of 96 wins and 96 losses in rapid games, Danielleml1 doesn't shy from a challenge—or heartbreak. Sometimes they win by resignation (69 times!), proving their opponents often see the writing on the wall. They take checkmate gracefully too, with 15 games ending in their favor by forced mate. And when games drag on, stalemates and draws account for a decent chunk of the mix (36 draws overall).

Opponents and Winning Tendencies

Danielle has squared off against dozens of challengers, maintaining an impressive 100% win record against many such as kanu456, aniinha_031, and vivizizi. But watch out for iker_ajedrezchess—a pesky rival who managed to checkmate Danielle in a recent grueling clash. It looks like Danielle thrives best on Friday and Sunday games, boasting up to 50% wins, and is a night owl with perfect 100% win rates at the magical hours of 14:00, 23:00, and 2:00 UTC—surely fueled by midnight snacks and coffee.

The Most Recent Battles

Danielle’s most recent victory involved a fierce Van Geet Opening against kanu456, winning by game abandonment (because apparently, Danielle’s skills made the opponent quit early!). The last defeat was a nail-biting checkmate by IKER_AjedrezChess—proof that even the best stumble but come back stronger.

Final Thoughts

Whether you’re a chess fan or a secret admirer of dramatic rating swings, Danielleml1 is a player worth watching. With a tilt factor as low as 4, they keep calm and carry on, defying losses and embracing victories with equal passion. One might say Danielle’s chess journey in 2025 is a masterclass in perseverance, enthusiasm, and occasional tactical craziness that makes every game a story worth telling.
