About Dorian (aka D0r_an)
Meet Dorian, a chess player whose rating journey between 217 and 446 in 2025 tells a story of resilience, tactical spurts, and a dash of unpredictability. Playing primarily in Rapid chess, with a respectable 316 rating at year's end, Dorian hates to surrender early but knows when to fold ‘em – sporting a 10% early resignation rate that might just be his secret sauce to preserving sanity.
Known affectionately online as D0r_an, this player favors the mysterious Top Secret opening in Rapid matches – perhaps because the name itself scares opponents. Though Dorian’s win rate here clocks in at around 36%, their love for the Pirc Defense pays off nicely, boasting a 62.5% success rate. Scandinavian Defense might need some work, considering zero wins in four attempts (embracing challenges head-on, no doubt).
Strategic prowess shines especially when playing Black (winning more than half the time at 52%). White pieces? Less magic at 35%, but hey, every hero has their kryptonite. On the flip side, Dorian’s tactical awareness is award-worthy: 100% win rate after losing a piece signals that giving up material doesn’t mean giving up the fight.
A bit of a streak player, Dorian’s longest winning streak peaked at four games with a current streak of one. Psychological tilt is kept in check with a minor factor of 5, showing mental toughness even when the pawns hit the fan.
Playing mostly during weekdays, Friday and Monday are prime times with win rates north of 60%, possibly hinting at pre-weekend energy or Monday morning caffeine kicks. Evening battles around noon and early afternoon perform reasonably well, but beware the 0% win rate at 7 AM and late nights—clearly, Dorian isn’t a morning or night owl.
Opponents beware: some of Dorian’s favorite rivals suffer a near-perfect losing record, while others cause headaches with a less friendly win rate for our hero. Among recent notable adversaries, calois2009 was dispatched with 100% efficiency, but others like mysn19 and noobyboyyy remain stubborn foes.
Whether climbing rating ladders or engaging in dramatic piece sacrifices, Dorian brings a blend of humor, unpredictability, and stubborn grit to the board—making every game an adventure worth watching.
