Piotr Dobrowolski - International Master (IM)
Meet Piotr Dobrowolski, known in the chess world as Bathory44, an International Master who has been dazzling the 64 squares with tactical wizardry and a touch of humor since 2014. Starting with a Blitz rating modestly sneaking in at 1378, Piotr quickly leveled up to the mid-2600s in Blitz chess—a rating many grandmasters would envy. Not bad for someone whose average games per year number in the hundreds!
Playing Style & Strengths
Piotr is a strategic marathoner with an 88.95% comeback rate—yes, that means when the chips are down and a piece is lost, he fights back with a perfect 100% win rate after losing a piece. Talk about staying calm under pressure! And while some players might rage and tilt, Piotr’s tilt factor is a modest 7, proving he’s mostly too cool for breakdowns. His endgame skill shines too, featuring in 83% of his games.
Opening Secrets & Preferred Time Controls
When it comes to openings, Piotr keeps his secrets close—true mastery hidden beneath a mysterious veil. His 'Top Secret' openings have led him to a commendable win rate above 54% in Blitz, and even better in Bullet with 56.7%, showcasing his quick thinking. He’s a force to be reckoned with in fast-paced games: Blitz and Bullet are his playgrounds, while his Daily chess appearance is so rare it’s almost a mythical event.
Notable Stats & Streaks
- Longest winning streak: 19 games (because why stop at just a dozen wins?)
- Current winning streak: 1 game (always ready for more!)
- Total Blitz wins: 1878 with a healthy 54.7% win rate over thousands of games
- Bullet battles won: 130 (faster than you can say “checkmate!”)
Personality & On-Board Behavior
Piotr’s average winning games clock in around 72 moves, proving he’s not one for quick tricks—unless it’s Bullet, where speed is king. He generally finishes his games with grace, resigning early only 0.16% of the time, which means he’s rarely caught napping or throwing in the towel prematurely.
Opponents beware: he’s undefeated against some (like mouse-sleep and siansell), and he mixes a mix of merciless wins and some cheeky draws across a wide spectrum of rivals. Whether it’s a Monday motivation or a Saturday showdown, his win rates hover comfortably above 50%, with a real sweet spot on Thursdays (almost 60% win rate!). And if you’re wondering when to challenge him, try 6am or early morning—he boasts a roaring 83% win rate at 6AM. Early bird indeed!
Final Thought
In the chess cosmos, Piotr Dobrowolski is a steadfast IM with a blend of sharp tactical prowess, resilience, and a dash of mystery. If chess were a story, he’d be the hero with a long winning streak and a penchant for turning the tide when all seems lost.
Recent Successes
Piotr, you have demonstrated strong tactical awareness and aggressive play in your recent bullet games, which is a major asset in fast time controls.
- Your ability to capitalize quickly on opponent’s mistakes, like in attacking the king with well-timed knight and queen moves, shows excellent calculation under time pressure.
- You have good knowledge and execution of openings like the French Defense and Sicilian Defense: Alapin Variation, where your winning percentage is notably high.
- Successfully turning early advantages into wins, including winning through resignation and checkmate, highlights your endgame and finishing skills.
Areas for Improvement
While overall performance is strong, focusing on the following will help enhance your bullet game even further:
- Defense in Complex Positions: Some losses indicate challenges in handling very active opponent play, particularly in defensive structures against pressure (for example, in some games with the King's Indian Defense). Strengthening your ability to find practical defensive resources quickly could reduce the number of losses.
- French Defense: Exchange Variation: This opening shows a low win rate (10%). Consider reviewing this line to understand where the difficulties arise and possibly exploring alternatives or refining your repertoire here.
- Time Management: Though you move well under time pressure, further optimizing your time usage, especially in critical positions, could prevent late blunders or missed tactics.
- Opening Variety and Preparation: You have a good record in some openings but limited games in others. Expanding your opening knowledge could make your play less predictable and help against stronger players.
Trends and Long-Term Development
Your rating has shown a steady upward trend over the last months with consistent improvement in your bullet chess skills. The positive slopes in your rating trends demonstrate progress in your skill level and consistency.
- Keep focusing on learning from your losses and refining your openings with below-average win rates.
- Continue practicing tactical motif recognition and endgame techniques to maintain and increase your winning conversion rate.
- Maintain your strengths in aggressive openings and rapid attacks, adapting as needed to opponent styles and game situations.
Summary
Piotr, you have strong technical skills and opening preparation that serve you well in bullet games. By focusing a bit more on defense, time management, and expanding your opening repertoire, you can improve your win rate even further. Your ongoing positive rating trends clearly indicate that your hard work and training are paying off—keep it up!
