FIDE Master Diego Cacheiro Blanco

Better known to the chess internet as DCacheiro, Diego Cacheiro Blanco is no ordinary player – they're a FIDE Master who dances elegantly between bullet and blitz time controls with a flair few can mimic. Born with a chessboard in one hand and a stopwatch in the other (or so the legend goes), Diego’s lightning-fast thinking has propelled their bullet rating from a humble 2292 in early 2024 to a staggering peak of 2732 in 2025.

Diego's style is a fascinating blend of persistence and tactical wizardry. With an 81% frequency in endgames, it’s clear they prefer to take their opponents down the long, winding road rather than blitzing in for an early victory. And speaking of comebacks, when Diego loses a piece, don’t count them out—their comeback rate is an astounding 92%, with a perfect 100% win rate after losing material. Clearly, giving up is not in their dictionary (which might be called 'NeverSayDie').

Perhaps surprisingly for such a fierce competitor, Diego has a slightly delicate tilt factor of 9—which, combined with a penchant for early resignations at 0.45%, suggests there's a little fiery passion that sometimes boils over. Fun fact: this doesn't hurt their record much, as their longest winning streak reached a solid 7 games. Their average winning game spans about 85 moves, proving patience is their game.

When not crushing opponents in blitz and bullet (with win rates hovering above 50%), Diego occasionally dabbles in daily chess, where they've maintained an undefeated streak so far. Whether it’s slicing open defenses with the wizardry of a grandmaster or outlasting foes in marathon endgames, Diego’s chess journey is nothing short of epic.

A few trivia nuggets:

  • Diego’s opening strategy remains a well-kept secret—even their opponents wonder if "Top Secret" is code for “I just wing it and hope for the best.”
  • Most matched opponents? They square off most frequently against “taroroot,” “the-misterious-player” (ambiguity is part of the game), and “xakzakan.”
  • Diego's peak bullet rating of 2732 in 2025 places them solidly among the elite messengers of the 1-minute frenzy.
  • Their best hour of chess? An electrifying 13:00 win rate at a flawless 100% — apparently, the sun shines brightest on their brain then.

In summary: Diego Cacheiro Blanco, aka DCacheiro, is a tactical genius and resilient warrior of the black-and-white battlefield, a FIDE Master who proves speed and strategy can tango flawlessly. Keep an eye on this one, because when they’re on, even the clock holds its breath.
