Diego Adla - International Master of Chess

Diego Adla, known in the chess community with the enigmatic username ellatambien, holds the prestigious title of International Master awarded by FIDE. With a lightning-fast Blitz rating peaking at 2737 in 2024, Diego has demonstrated a cunning and fierce mastery over the chessboard, especially when the clock is ticking.

Starting from a Blitz rating of 2271 in 2019, Diego's rise has been nothing short of impressive, climbing steadily through a whirlwind of games, wins, losses, and draws. In 2023 alone, Diego played a staggering 698 Blitz games, winning almost half and suffering some hard-fought losses, all while keeping an average rating above 2600—a credible feat for any serious competitor.

Diego's style is a curious mixture of strategic patience and tactical ferocity. With an endgame frequency of 86%, it is clear that this player enjoys the long haul—often dragging games deep into complex terrain, averaging about 85 moves per game regardless of the result. Not one to throw in the towel early either, Diego's early resignation rate hovers around 0.49, demonstrating a resilience that makes opponents sweat until the very end.

When the chips are down, Diego’s comeback game is legendary—boasting a 92.96% comeback rate and a flawless 100% win rate after losing a piece. In other words, if you manage to snag a pawn or even a knight, be ready for a fierce fight, because Diego will bounce back with a vengeance! Just don't expect many one-sided losses; that rare occurrence is less than 1% of the time.

Interestingly, their psychological state shows a "tilt factor" of 9, which might mean that even this chess wizard is only human. After all, who hasn't thrown a little chair or muttered "not again!" after a blunder or two?

Diego’s record against various opponents reads like a rollercoaster: flawless victories against several tough cookies like glavkonvvs and zverr1, but some thorny matches too, holding about a 50% win rate against frequent challengers such as khatanbaatarbazar. But hey, no chess player is perfect—except maybe Diego right after a coffee break.

Outside of Blitz, Diego dabbled in Rapid and Bullet with modest results—max Rapid rating of 2420 and a bullet cap at 1963—indicating a preference for the intense, heart-pumping Blitz format.

Through the years, Diego’s devotion and fierce competitive spirit have enchanted fans and confounded opponents. Whether grinding out long endgames or staging heroic comebacks, this International Master proves that in the game of chess, it’s not just about the moves you play, but the heart you put into every single one.
