Daniel Pirir: The Phantom of the 64 Squares
Known to the online chess world as DanyPhantom7, Daniel Pirir plays chess the way his username suggests: like a ghost that keeps appearing in your notifications and refuses to leave until your position is haunted. A devotee of the first move, Daniel has opened with 1.e4 in literally every recorded game. Not most games. Not almost always. Every single one. Some players have a repertoire; Daniel has a reflex.
