Kordell Patterson

Profile Summary: Kordell Patterson (D3lly)

Kordell Patterson, also known by the username D3lly, is a chess player whose journey through the 64 squares is as colorful as his fluctuating ratings. While not quite challenging grandmasters just yet, Kordell has shown relentless persistence and a quirky style that keeps opponents guessing – and sometimes resigning early out of sheer confusion.

Rating Rollercoaster

From a peak blitz rating of 1097 back in 2018 to a recent puzzle of sub-300 rapid scores in 2025, Kordell's rating graph resembles a wild rollercoaster ride through the pawn structure. His daily chess peak was a respectable 1437 in 2016, proving that slow and steady training sessions paid off. However, the bullet rating of 100 in 2025 hints that lightning-fast speed may not be his cup of tea – or maybe the mouse was just having a bad day.

Playing Style & Strategy

Known for diving into openings like the Englund Gambit with a 60% win rate in blitz, D3lly has a taste for risky, unconventional plays. His rapid repertoire boasts a fondness for the King’s Pawn Opening Leonardis Variation, where he enjoys a solid 68% win rate — not too shabby. He’s no stranger to early resignations either, clocking an 11.7% early resignation rate — so if a blunder sneaks in, he knows when to cut his losses and move on.

Battle Chronicles

Kordell’s most recent wins were created with surgical precision, finishing opponents off by resignation. Whether wielding white with a d4 opening or black in Scandinavian Defense skirmishes, he has demonstrated tactical awareness and a knack for turning the tide – boasting a 65% comeback rate which suggests he never gives up, even when pieces are lost.

Psychology & Quirks

With a modest tilt factor of 10, Kordell keeps his chin up even after tough losses. His best time of day to play? Apparently the morning around 8:00 AM, where his win rate peaks and his brain is fresh enough to avoid those catastrophic blunders. And yes, he sometimes loses on time, because who hasn’t desperately tried to squeeze in a last move before the clock strikes zero?

Opponent Highlights

Among his rivals, D3lly has a love-hate relationship, often crushing players like 'jebhobo' and 'zardizaraffi' (100% wins), while encountering tough challenges against 'whataear' and 'rackracerdoo,' against whom victories remain elusive. This diversity reveals a player who adapts but is always seeking to refine his game.

Fun Fact

Whether it’s blitz, rapid, or daily chess, Kordell has played nearly 500 blitz games in 2025 alone — a formidable testament to his dedication or perhaps a hint that his keyboard is his happiest playground. And despite ups and downs, he maintains a quirky spirit, always ready for the next game, next opening, or the next blunder turned brilliant tactic.
