Daniel Quizon (quizden37) - Grandmaster Extraordinaire
Born to battle on the 64 squares, Daniel Quizon, known online as quizden37, is a chess Grandmaster who navigates the chaotic beauty of bullet, blitz, and rapid chess with the precision and flair of a seasoned maestro. Holding the prestigious Grandmaster title from FIDE, Daniel has become a force to reckon with, striking fear (and sometimes confusion) into the hearts of opponents worldwide.
Chess Journey and Style
Daniel’s style could be described as a whirlwind of strategic brilliance mixed with tactical fireworks — think of a chessboard cyclone that occasionally whispers “Oops, did I just blunder?” before snapping back with a razor-sharp comeback. Their tactical awareness is impressive, boasting a comeback success rate of over 86%. If losing a piece, Daniel still flees the battlefield with a win rate just over 52%, proving resilience is a middle name here (or at least a nickname).
True to the spirit of a Grandmaster, Daniel’s games tend to be marathon affairs: averaging about 87 moves for both wins and losses — long enough to brew a pot of coffee and reconsider life choices. Early resignations? A minuscule 0.79%, because why give up quickly when there's always a last-ditch fortress to be built?
Peak Ratings & Strengths
- Bullet Chess: A dizzying peak rating of 3096 in November 2022. Yes, that's not a typo. Daniel blitzes through bullet chess opponents at breakneck speed.
- Blitz Chess: Nearly touching 3000 (peak 2972 as of September 2024), Daniel battles heated seconds with fearless tenacity.
- Rapid Chess: Solid and strategic with a peak of 2415 in May 2020 — slower paced, but still no walk in the park.
Opening Mastery
Quizon has a secret weapon known lovingly as the "Top Secret" opening — played in nearly 1000 bullet games with a consistent 53% win rate. Whether flinging themselves into a Sicilian Defense or conjuring the mystique of the Reti Opening, they combine unpredictability with solid technique. Notably, their King’s Indian Attack and Sicilian Defense variations boast win rates that would make lesser mortals weep.
Competitive Record & Stamina
Daniel has a robust competitive record across formats with over 1100 bullet game wins — yes, that’s one thousand one hundred and eleven battles won, outsprinting losses and draws alike. Their longest winning streak? An impressive 15 games, surely enough to strike envy in chess club break rooms worldwide. Though losing skids happen (a longest losing streak of 12), the fearless champion never stays down for long.
Psychology & Quirks
Despite their relentless on-board attacks, Quizon’s "Tilt Factor" is a low 12 — meaning they mostly keep calm and carry on, unless you mention the time of day: apparently, 9 PM is when their chess neurons fire at maximum efficiency (which also coincidentally might be snack time). Plus, they gleefully avoid quick surrenders and prefer to test their rivals to the very end.
Recent Battles
The very recent games showcase Quizden37’s love for the Reti Opening and the Alekhine's Defense, combining quick wit with deep preparation. In one notable duel against cyber87547, Daniel clinched victory by resignation and even on time in other games — proving that not only brains but also clock acumen are finely honed.
In Conclusion
Daniel Quizon is not just a chess player; they are a relentless tactician, a strategic artist, and occasionally, a cheeky time-trickster. With a career painted in wins, losses, and thrilling comebacks, they continue to captivate the chess community as a modern Grandmaster who proves that on the chessboard, patience, precision, and a pinch of unpredictability reign supreme.

Feedback for Daniel Quizon
Hi Daniel! After reviewing your recent games, here are some insights and suggestions to help improve your chess performance:
Strengths
- Opening Preparation: You have a solid grasp on opening principles, especially in openings like the Reti and Alekhine's Defense. Your understanding of setup and development moves is sound and consistent.
- Positional Understanding: Your ability to coordinate pieces, particularly in the middlegame, shows good strategic insight. Moves like timely knight maneuvers and controlling central squares were well executed.
- Endgame Technique: In several games, you efficiently transitioned into the endgame and made use of limited material well, applying pressure consistently.
Areas for Improvement
- Time Management: Some games were won or lost on time, which indicates time pressure might be affecting your final decisions. Practice using your time evenly and avoid rushing critical moves, especially in complex positions.
- Tactical Awareness: A few losses occurred due to missed tactical threats or exchanges that favored your opponent. Focus on training tactics regularly — spotting forks, pins, and skewers quickly will improve your defense and attack.
- Weaknesses in Defense: In some games, early attacks against your king or key squares became difficult to repel. Reinforce your ability to recognize potential threats early and consider prophylactic moves to prevent opponent breakthroughs.
- Exploiting Opponent Slip-ups: While you capitalize well on opponent mistakes, there is room to sharpen converting small advantages into decisive breakthroughs faster before the opponent regains balance.
Practical Tips
- Review key moments from your most recent loss here to understand where the turning points were. Pay attention to move 30 and afterward — the initiative shifted strongly against you.
- Tackle tactical puzzles with focused themes like pins, forks, and discovered attacks to improve calculation speed and precision.
- Work on your opening repertoire by exploring main lines more deeply, so you feel comfortable when your opponent deviates from standard moves.
- In time-controlled games, practice pacing yourself by setting check-points on your clock (e.g., having a certain amount of time left at move 20 and 30) to avoid time scrambles.
- In key middlegame positions, run "what-if" scenarios to anticipate opponent threats and plan responses proactively.
Overall, your recent results show promise with a strong foundation to build upon. By addressing time management and tactical alertness, you can raise your competitive level significantly.
Keep studying and playing with enthusiasm — steady improvement is the key!
