Lazaro Lorenzo De La Riva (FLYD)
International Master - The Tactical Wizard of the Chessboard
Lazaro Lorenzo De La Riva, known in the chess world as FLYD, is an International Master who has danced through the ranks with a mix of brilliance, resilience, and a sprinkle of chess magic. With a peak blitz rating soaring up to an impressive 2730 in 2024, Lazaro is no mere player - they're a force to be reckoned with, especially when the clock is ticking.
Across thousands of blitz battles (over 4,000 games in 2024 alone!), Lazaro’s performance is a rollercoaster of epic comebacks and fierce battles. Their comeback rate is a staggering 88.85%, proving that giving up early is simply not in their vocabulary - though they do have a polite early resignation rate of just 1.45%, because who has the time to waste? The average game length hovers around 78 moves, showing they love a good fight till the endgame, where their skills truly shine with an endgame frequency over 80%.
When it comes to openings, Lazaro favors the spicy Sicilian Defense Najdorf Variation and the French Variation of the Sicilian—because sometimes you gotta keep your opponents guessing (and trembling). Notably, the Sicilian French Variation is their personal playground with a win rate near 57%, turning tricky positions into opportunities to crush opponents like leftover pieces on a board.
FLYD’s bullet and blitz battles display mastery with moves swift as a falcon's dive, achieving bullet ratings above 2200 and blitz peaks surpassing 2600. Their tactical alertness is so high, Lazaro never loses right after losing a piece—achieving an astonishing 100% win rate after downing a piece at least once in a game! Talk about turning lemons into checkmates.
Psychologically, Lazaro experiences the occasional tilt (17% tilt factor), but hey, who doesn’t? They bounce back stronger, leaving fans wondering if they secretly have a second brain dedicated purely to tactical wizardry. Their preferred battle hours are after dinner—specifically 10 PM—when the mind is sharp and the caffeine kicks in.
Outside the 64 squares, Lazaro is a mix of steady and unpredictable—just like their opening repertoire. They hold tightly to their favorite defenses but aren’t afraid to mix in surprises. Their win rates against familiar foes range widely, indicating that every game is a fresh challenge to be conquered.
Whether it's outwitting opponents in blitz, rapid, or bullet, Lazaro “FLYD” is a name synonymous with tactical brilliance, mental resilience, and just the right touch of chessboard charm. So next time you face them, beware: behind that friendly username lurks a blitz predator who approaches every game like it’s their magnum opus.
