Diego Franco (aka Nijhitivi3)

Meet Diego Franco, a tenacious and fearless chess warrior battling it out across the 64 squares with a nickname as mysterious as his game: Nijhitivi3. Diego is no stranger to the chessboard, displaying a rollercoaster journey of ratings that would make even the most seasoned of players raise an eyebrow.

Rapid Fire Specialist

Diego’s bread and butter? Rapid chess. His peak rapid rating soared to a proud 538 in June 2025, showcasing a steady climb from a solid 467 earlier that year. Playing 305 rapid games with an almost equal number of wins (154) and losses (139), plus a handful of draws (12), Diego’s battle-tested resilience shines through. He’s the kind of player who can go on a 7-game winning streak, only to be reminded that chess humbles us all with a 12-game losing streak.

Bullet & Blitz: Faster Than Your Coffee Break

In blistering Bullet games, Diego reached a peak score of 410, while Blitz saw a respectable pinnacle of 319. Though his Bullet win rate (34–25) hints at quick instincts, his Blitz results (5–2–1) suggest that once he’s warming up, he’s a force to reckon with.

Opening Moves & Tactical Prowess

Diego has a sweet spot for the Scotch Game with an impressive 80% win rate in Rapid, and the Petrov's Defense never fails to add drama with over 70% wins. Bullet games are filled with daring touches like the Scandinavian Defense and pure Four Knights variations – some scoring a perfect 100% wins!

Known for tactical grit, Diego boasts a tough-as-nails comeback rate of 78%, which means once he’s down a piece, don’t count him out! The psychological tilt factor is kept in check at 12%, except when his coffee is cold. His best chess hours? Mornings at 9 AM and a suspicious 100% win rate at 9 AM – early birds really do get the pawns.

Favored Battles & Foes

Diego prefers rapid duels but isn’t afraid to dabble in Bullet and Blitz with equal fervor. His most-played opponents include huy666y with a fairly balanced record (16 wins, 9 losses), while others like menma154 provide ongoing rivalry spice.

On & Off the Board

With a playful mix of strategic depth and occasional impulsive sacrifices, Diego's average winning games stretch to nearly 51 moves, proving patience is a virtue—even if at times his average loss length suggests rapid changes of mind. When it comes to endings, a solid 42.74% frequency shows he often grinds games down to the wire.

Recent Drama

The latest tale from Diego’s exploits is a masterclass victory against ilakcr, where he boldly challenged the Bishops Opening and won by resignation — a true sign of respect from an opponent faced with his relentless pressure. Of course, not every battle ends in triumph—recent losses to players like saurabh_sharma_98 remind us that even knights fall sometimes.

A Knight to Remember

“Chess is 99% tactics,” Diego seems to whisper as he plans his next move, sometimes resigning early to save dignity, but often coming back stronger — living proof that in chess, as in life, resilience wins.
