Daniel Eduardo - The International Master of Blitz
Meet Daniel Eduardo, aka Eduardoo64, an International Master recognized by FIDE and a true wizard of the chessboard! With a flair for blitz chess, Daniel’s lightning-fast tactics and strategic mind make him a force to be reckoned with in every rapid encounter.
Starting with a blitz rating just over 2100 in 2017, Daniel's peak performance soared to an incredible 2735 by 2023, showing a dedication to improvement and a knack for speedy calculations that leave opponents wondering what just happened. His average blitz rating consistently hovers around the high 2500s to low 2700s — talk about consistency when the clock is ticking down!
When it comes to rapid and bullet formats, Daniel may take a more relaxed approach, but don’t mistake that for lack of skill. With rapid ratings touching nearly 2300 and bullet numbers above 2200, he commands respect, even if blitz is his kingdom.
Stats and Style
- Blitz Games Played: Over 9,300
- Blitz Win Rate: About 46.4% — beating opponents almost half the time in frantic seconds!
- Longest Winning Streak: 29 games — enough to fuel any chess legend’s ego.
- White Pieces Win Rate: 50.82%, proving Daniel doesn’t just rely on the initiative, but also the art of subtle squeeze.
- Comeback Rate: Nearly 88%, reflecting an uncanny ability to turn the tables even when things look bleak.
Playing Personality
Daniel’s games often span over 68 moves per win on average, which hints at a player who loves to fight in long, complex endgames — a true chess marathon runner rather than a sprinter. With an endgame frequency north of 82%, he clearly enjoys extracting every ounce of play from simplified positions, where creativity meets technique.
His psychological resilience is notable, bouncing back strongly from adversity with an almost perfect win rate after losing a piece (a mind-boggling 99.98%). And while a tilt factor of 10 suggests he feels the pressure sometimes, he mostly keeps his cool under time trouble and high stakes — a calm storm on the 64 squares.
Notable Opponents
Daniel has faced a wide and interesting roster of challengers with varied success, including perfect wins over some pesky foes and a few mortal nemeses who seem to undo his best intentions. But then again, every chess hero needs a foil!
Whether he's maneuvering against aliencowboy or matching wits with ajedrezconpeter, Daniel’s adaptability and tactical awareness make for thrilling encounters that chess fans adore.
Off the Board
Outside the game, Daniel might be the kind of player who chuckles at their own brilliant blunders and enjoys the chaos of bullet chess but remains a serious strategist when the clock slows. His love for chess is evident in the volume of games and the diverse opening play recorded — though 'Top Secret' remains his mysterious favorite strategy!
Next time you hear the ticking clock, remember: Daniel Eduardo is somewhere plotting a dazzling combination that might just leave you dazzled... or checkmated.
