Hervé DAURELLE - The FIDE Master with a Twist

Meet Hervé DAURELLE, also known in the chess realm as ADODOVE, a FIDE Master whose love for the game is as fierce as his comeback rate—an astonishing 74.6%!

Rating Rollercoaster and Style

Since 2019, Hervé’s Blitz rating has hovered around a respectable 2000-2100 range, teasing brilliance especially in 2023 when he hit a peak Blitz rating of 2133. His Bullet adventures have been a bit more of a rollercoaster, hitting highs near 2082 but occasionally dipping down to 1401—because even FIDE Masters enjoy the thrill of the unexpected!

Rapid games see Hervé shining brilliantly on fewer but sharper occasions, boasting an impressive 57% win rate with only seven games recorded. Whether playing White or Black, his win rates remain consistently competitive, showing a slight preference for the dark pieces.

Opening the "Top Secret" Vault

Hervé's favorite openings remain a mystery labeled "Top Secret," featuring heavily in all game formats—from Blitz to Bullet and Rapid. Despite the secrecy, his consistent win rates (37% in Blitz, 32% in Bullet, and a staggering 57% in Rapid) hint at a mastery of unpredictable lines and clever traps.
