Around the chessboard, Dae-ho is a true novice, rated 19 on Chessiverse, a level that reflects a player who knows how the pieces move but has never sat down to study the game. He has been around chess sets in the market backrooms for years, watching crew members push wood between deliveries, yet he plays only a handful of times a season and has never opened a theory book. His lucky charm during games is the brass hand bell his uncle used at Jagalchi thirty years ago, worn on a leather lanyard around his neck. Expect a brisk, casual opponent who blunders pieces freely, treats every move like a fresh starting bid, and narrates the board as if it were the wet concrete floor at four in the morning.","41","choi","South Korea","kr","0a7ccc9ebc8b3b1f90acf83716a9edd3173fd5b89dd8325c6db756b6ee95863e","2026-07-06",19,"json",[15,18,21],{"question":16,"answer":17},"What rating is Dae-ho?","Dae-ho is rated 19 Elo on Chessiverse, which places him at the very entry rung of the rating ladder.

At 19 Elo he blunders pieces in nearly every game, giving a true beginner the chance to practice basic captures, simple checkmates, and the habit of looking one move ahead without being overwhelmed.","First bell at dawn, last bid by breakfast.","male","Aigoo, pull up a crate, friend.
