Rated around 2112, Dara sits firmly in candidate-master territory, calculating accurately, punishing inaccuracies from club-level opponents, and showing the deep preparation typical of players at this level. With the white pieces he leans heavily on classical structures, most often steering games into the [Queen's Gambit](/resources/openings/queens-gambit), where his feel for slow positional pressure mirrors the meticulous layering of restored sandstone. Against 1.e4 he prefers the solid [Petrov Defense](/resources/openings/petrov-defense), neutralizing aggression before turning the screws in the endgame. Visitors should expect a balanced, theoretically sound opponent who rarely overextends, capitalizes cleanly on small mistakes, and forces opponents to earn every half-point through accurate, sustained play.","40","RkIxb","Cambodia","kh","dc414e8a0e7c1b14f170fa00890a0cdab573d90ef3b85ca6507bb150c0d4e373","2026-07-06",2112,"json",[15,18,21],{"question":16,"answer":17},"What rating is Dara?","Dara's estimated Elo is 2112, placing him at the candidate-master to expert level.
