Daniel Barrish: The FIDE Master’s Tale

Once upon a chessboard, there emerged Daniel Barrish, a FIDE Master whose games dance between precision and flair. Donning the title bestowed by FIDE, Daniel has tackled Rapid, Blitz, Bullet, and Daily formats with a style that’s part bulldozer, part magician.

Starting with a modest Rapid rating of 1343 in 2016, Daniel’s skills catapulted impressively to a peak Rapid rating of 2250 in 2024 — proving that slow and steady timing can win the race. Meanwhile, Blitz battles have consistently kept Daniel’s rating hovering above 2000 since 2015, with a max rating of 2126 as recent as 2024. Bullet play? Oh yes, Daniel can click faster than most eyes can track, reaching a lightning-fast peak of 2462 in 2020 and maintaining a strong above-2200 rating in recent years.

When analyzing his strengths, Daniel’s comeback rate is a whopping 80.15%, with a perfect 100% winning record after losing a piece — clearly demonstrating resilience, nerves of steel, and maybe a bit of luck or wizardry. His longest winning streak? A jaw-dropping 17 games, with a current streak of 4, suggesting he’s a hot streak waiting to happen.

Opponents beware: Daniel boasts a near-mythical perfect win rate against many rivals including “grade3011,” “noobandnoober,” and “justindewitt99.” Though a few adversaries have managed to hand him losses (looking at you, vozice), Daniel’s dominance remains evident — especially when wielding White pieces (60.5% win rate) compared to Black (47.97%).

His approach is no rush job — average wins and losses span around 65 moves, proving he likes to simmer games to perfection. Early resignations are rare (3.19%), much like his good humor when losing. However, don’t expect him to tilt easily; with a tilt factor of just 6, Daniel keeps calm even when the chess gods frown.

Off the board, Daniel is anything but predictable. His winning chances peak during early mornings and afternoons (hello, 4 a.m. 100% win rate and 75% at 15:00 on the clock!), but Fridays might be a bit less charming (29.41% win rate). Perhaps he spends the weekend plotting his next stunning comeback.

In summary, Daniel Barrish is a FIDE Master who melds tactical brilliance with resilient spirit. He may resemble a chess superhero who lost the cape but never the will to win. Keep an eye on this player — the next game could be a masterpiece.
