Pedro Alfonso Fernandez de Córdoba Alonso (aka "pafdca")
Nestled somewhere between passionate chess enthusiast and persistent puzzle solver, Pedro Alfonso Fernandez de Córdoba Alonso — or simply "pafdca" for those who prefer brevity — has carved a unique path on the chessboard. With a Rapid rating that has danced from a humble 405 all the way up past 1000, Pedro embodies the spirit of perseverance (and occasional flair).
Since 2021, Pedro has battled through nearly 4,000 Rapid games, winning a respectable 1,340, losing 1,308, and bravely drawing 113.

Pedro’s unwavering dedication is a tribute to the age-old chess virtue: resilience.
Playing Style & Personality

And when the pressure's on? Pedro’s come-from-behind magic shows in a stellar 73% comeback rate—clearly not one to surrender without a fight.
Pedro is also an open book when it comes to the psychological side of the game. With an 'Early Resignation Rate' of just over 6%, and a tilt factor of 10 (which in non-chess lingo means he sometimes lets the frustration sneak in), he proves even the best can have their off days. But hey, who hasn’t thrown the occasional pawn at the screen?
