Meet Noel David Zaldivar Hernández, also known in the chess world as NDZH83. A formidable bullet and blitz aficionado, Noel dances through rapid decisions and lightning moves, often leaving opponents wondering if they just lost to a grandmaster or a speedster with chess superpowers.
Ratings and Game Style
Noel's bullet rating has soared from a modest 962 in early 2021 to a peak of 1919 in that same year, not to mention a resilient climb to over 1800 in 2022. His blitz rating follows suit, hitting an impressive 1882 recently. On a good day, his average bullet games wrap up in under 70 moves, though losses tend to drag on a bit longer — perhaps because his opponents cling on for dear life!
With a White win-rate of about 59% and a respectable Black win-rate near 53%, Noel shows mastery with both colors. His comeback rate is an eye-popping 85%, proving that when the chips are down, he’s not just fighting back — he’s launching a counterattack.
Opening Arsenal
Noel's favorite openings read like a chess buffet: from the spicy Englund Gambit (with a remarkable winning rate close to 67% in bullet) to the classic Sicilian Defense, which has netted him hefty victories. The King’s Indian Defense Four Pawns Attack is another go-to that tickles his tactical fancy — apparently, he loves shaking up the board early.
Competitive Streaks & Opponents
His longest winning streak? A jaw-dropping 13 games — possibly a record for his opponents’ blood pressure! And don’t be fooled by his early resignations (just 1.5% of games). Noel plays smart, to the point, and with an endgame frequency of 77%, proving that he enjoys the battlefield’s final moments as much as the opening fireworks.
Behind the Moves
When not blitzing opponents online, Noel’s psychological forte shines through. His tilt factor sits comfortably at 13 — low enough to recover quickly from setbacks but high enough to add some spice and passion to his play. A perfect blend of competitive spirit and tactical awareness, NDZH83 is a chess enthusiast who turns every game into a thrilling ride.
Whether you're caught by his Sicilian Defense, surprised by an Englund Gambit, or simply dazzled by his quick calculations, Noel David Zaldivar Hernández is a name worth remembering in the blitz and bullet circles.
