Playing Style & Personality
David’s style? A mix of patience and flair—on average, they play nearly 68 moves before sealing victory, meaning endgames are their playground. When behind, their comeback rate is a spectacular 77%, truly a chess phoenix rising from its ashes.

That’s prime brainpower and some of the best wins—the kind that make you suspect caffeine isn’t the only secret weapon.
Recent Adventures on the Board
Among the latest victories is a nail-biting win against ShiJei_Ragu featuring the Kings Indian Defense Orthodox Variation. Elorta’s precision forced a resignation after a well-calculated pawn storm and some slick endgame moves—timed exactly right before the clock struck. Losses? Sure, even champions stumble; recently, tough games against MarcKevinLabog and jakopogi ended in defeat, but with David’s record, don’t expect any long sulks.

A FIDE Master with a penchant for grinding down opponents, a tactical mind that thrives in complexity, and a nearly superhuman morning win streak, Elorta is the kind of player who makes chess not just a game, but a performance — usually with a witty punchline waiting off the board.
