Damaris Abarca: Woman FIDE Master & Chess Enthusiast
Meet Damaris Abarca, a titleholder who proudly carries the badge of Woman FIDE Master from the international chess federation, FIDE. With a cunning blend of patience and precision, Damaris has dazzled opponents across blitz, rapid, and bullet arenas — and occasionally in daily battles, too.
From humble beginnings, Damaris’ blitz rating has rocketed from 1527 in 2017 to an impressive peak above 2200 in 2024. When the clock speeds up, this player’s tactical awareness truly shines — boasting a comeback rate close to 81% and a flawless 100% win rate after losing a piece. Evidently, Damaris doesn't just play chess; they play psychological warfare, often turning the tables just when opponents think they have the upper hand.
Damaris’ favorite opening remains Top Secret (because every good chess player loves a little mystery), where they’ve played over 300 blitz games with a win rate near 58%, and even more dominantly in rapid and daily formats, climbing to nearly 65% and 78% respectively.
Despite the fierce battles on 64 squares, Damaris keeps their cool with an impressively low early resignation rate of just 2.2%. They’re clearly someone who fights to the very end—averaging 64 moves per win and lingering even longer in losses, proving that every chess drama has several acts before the curtain falls.
When asked about their playing style, Damaris would probably wink and say, “It’s all about outlasting, outthinking, and occasionally out-bluffing.” With close to 190 wins in blitz alone and a longest winning streak of 16 games, they could very well be the chess version of a marathon runner in a world of sprinters.
Whether it's a Monday analysis session or a late-night blitz showdown at 11 PM (yes, they win 85.7% of their games at 23:00!), Damaris Abarca proves that chess is more than just a game—it's a passion, a puzzle, and sometimes a hilarious chase to checkmate an unsuspecting opponent.
