Diego Armando Tejedor Cortés

Profile: Diego Armando Tejedor Cortés (Dieghoatc)

Meet Diego Armando Tejedor Cortés, affectionately known in the chess circles as Dieghoatc. A daring tactician with a flair for the Sicilian Defense and a penchant for unpredictable maneuvers, Diego’s journey through the 64 squares is nothing short of a thrilling rollercoaster.

Chess Journey & Style

Diego’s rapid rating peaked impressively at 635 in early 2025, showing a steady climb from modest beginnings. Not one to shy away from complex positions, his win rate with the Sicilian Defense is a staggering 75% in rapid games — a clear testament to his love affair with aggressive, counter-attacking openings. When it comes to blitz, he’s met the challenge head-on with a highest rating of 344, and his daily chess exploits have seen him achieve a breathtaking rating of 763, albeit with a smaller sample size.

The Numbers Game

• Rapid: 240 wins, 232 losses, and 13 draws; a fierce competitor who stays in the fight until the end.
• Blitz: 218 wins and 211 losses, proving that speed chess is a battlefield where Diego holds his own.
• Bullet: While a bit rough around the edges with 34 wins against 42 losses, his spirit remains unbroken.

His longest winning streak stands tall at 8 games, reminding opponents not to underestimate his potential once the pieces start falling his way. Unfortunately, every warrior faces tough times: Diego’s longest losing streak is a humbling 10 games, proving that even chess heroes have their “Why did I move that?!” moments.

Signature Moves and Tactical Flair

With an early resignation rate of only 6.8% (not too shabby for someone who's defeated many times but never quite defeated in spirit), Diego battles fiercely until the clock ticks down. He averages about 47 moves in victories and doesn't give up quietly — averaging a longer 50 moves in defeat, showing his resilience and stamina.

His comeback rate is a remarkable 67%, demonstrating that losing a piece doesn’t mean giving up the game — in fact, nearly half the time he still wins afterward. This indomitable fighting spirit suits his psychological profile, keeping tilt low with just a 10% tilt factor, and favoring games after midnight (best time: 1 AM) — maybe that’s when his secret chess monster awakens!

Notable Recent Battles

Diego’s most recent top-level wipeout of an opponent came from a brilliant use of the Sicilian Defense against MarcoVegassse, winning by resignation after some intense positional pressure (View game). However, like all mortals, he too suffers defeats — recently bested in sharp Queen’s Pawn Opening lines by players such as titouann2011 and elilith666, reminding us all that even the best have off days.

The Human Side

Chess is not only about numbers, and Diego’s diverse opening repertoire — spanning Top Secret openings (whatever those are!), Queen’s Pawn variations, and the beloved Sicilian Defense — shows a player unafraid to explore and experiment. His flexibility across rapid, blitz, bullet, and daily games illustrates his love for the game in every possible format, even if lightning-fast chess sometimes leaves him chasing his tail.

Whether he’s unleashing a devastating checkmate, patiently maneuvering through a complex endgame, or collectively sighing at a sudden blunder, Diego Armando Tejedor Cortés embodies the spirit of chess — cunning, perseverance, and a dash of humor.

“On any given day, I might lose to a 1200... or beat a 1500. The board keeps me humble and hooked.”
