DaniilProkhurovskii: The Rapid Riddle of the Board

Meet DaniilProkhurovskii, a chess enthusiast who dances gracefully on the Rapid battlegrounds with a peak rating that smashed the 500 barrier in May 2025 (523 to be exact!). His rapid-fire mindset enjoys games that blaze with fierce intensity and tactical fireworks, proving that patience is indeed a virtue, but speed is a superpower.

Dabbling occasionally in Blitz, Daniil once hit a perfect 100 rating—but don’t get too excited, it was a lonely match and ended in a loss. Blitz might be a playground for others, but for Daniil, Rapid is the seasoned arena where true stories unfold.

Style & Strategy

Daniil's preferred weapon? The King’s Pawn Opening, especially the King's Knight Variation, boasting a winning strike rate around 64%. The Scotch Game and Queen’s Pawn Opening Chigorin Variation aren’t far behind, showcasing his bold and sometimes aggressive approach. But don’t expect perfection; sometimes Philidor Defense or Ponziani Opening bring him humble reminders that chess is as humbling as it is thrilling.

Notorious for his comeback skills, Daniil seizes almost ¾ of his opportunities to turn a game around after trailing—a statistic that would make any chess drama writer proud. But beware: his longest losing and winning streaks both tip the scales at 7, a rollercoaster ride that keeps fans on the edge of their seats.

Game Behavior & Trends

A master of resilience and tactical awareness, Daniil tends to resign early only about 9% of the time, choosing instead to battle it out in endgames where he appears 42% of the time. His average winning game lasts about 49 moves—enough time to develop, scheme, and stamp his mark.

Fun fact: His best time to play is around 5 PM, when apparently he’s fully charged and ready to overwhelm opponents with strategic finesse.

Notable Matches & Rivalries

Daniil’s recent history reads like a victory parade against pewdienew, rishabh7594, harry37564, and fakeorchestra, boasting a perfect 100% win rate against them. However, drwuthe5th still has the upper hand after a closely fought encounter.

Recently, Daniil clinched a memorable victory with the Scotch Game where he outmaneuvered pewdienew, eventually winning by resignation in a tactical masterpiece marked by careful positional play and a determined pawn push.

Personality Snapshot

Daniil is a fighter who doesn't flinch easily. His tilt factor of 7 suggests he might grumble a bit on bad days but quickly shakes it off. His games often have the emotional highs and lows of an epic thriller—but with chess pieces instead of actors.

When it comes to choosing the battlefield, Daniil prefers the predictability of rapid games over blitz’s chaos, leveraging strategic depth over reckless speed.
