Adegboyega Joel ADEBAYO: A Blitz Dynamo Known as dabee
Profile
FIDE Master Adegboyega Joel ADEBAYO, known online as dabee, is a player who has turned online Blitz into an art form. While he has competed across time controls, his preferred arena is unambiguously Blitz, where he has piled up tens of thousands of games and reached a formidable peak rating near 2900.
Blitz Journey
dabee's online adventure began with modest monthly swings in 2011, but by the end of that year he was already exchanging blows above 2200. The climb continued in waves, with a serious surge in 2014 and 2015, another leap in 2016, and a fresh explosion of activity in 2026 that carried him to his highest Blitz mark.
His record is a mixture of volume and persistence. With over 22,000 Blitz wins and a longest winning streak of 27 games, dabee has shown that consistency is just as important as inspiration.
Signature Repertoire
Dig into dabee's openings and one name stands out: the Amazon Attack: Siberian Attack. He has played it more than 7,700 times in Blitz and scores comfortably above 56%. As Black, he is happy to steer play into the Benoni Defense: Benoni Gambit Accepted or to outmaneuver opponents in the Slav Defense and Döry Defense.
Fighting Style
dabee is a dangerous attacker, especially with the white pieces, where his winning percentage is significantly higher. He plays long games, with many of his decisive battles passing the 70 move mark, and he reaches the endgame in roughly four out of every five encounters. His comeback rate of 82.85% tells the story of a player who never stops fighting.
Rivalries
Some of dabee's best stories come from repeat battles. His most frequent opponent has been parsi fala, with 371 meetings. He also knows Daniel Anwuli, 2011KING, and Rogelio Jr Antonio very well, including a winning head-to-head record against 2011king and a tough assignment against gmjoey1.
