Profile Summary: Danny_The_Donkey

Meet Danny_The_Donkey, a FIDE Master who has galloped through the blitz and bullet arenas with the stubborn tenacity of, well, a donkey. But don’t let the name fool you—Danny packs a punch, with peak blitz and bullet ratings of 2735 and 2757 respectively, achieved back in the whirlwind year of 2018.

Danny_The_Donkey’s lightning-fast mind thrives especially in bullet chess, where they have demonstrated an almost flawless ability to strike under pressure, maintaining an impressive 43.12% win rate in high-octane positions. Their blitz record is equally commendable, with nearly 200 intense battles fought using the intriguingly named "Top Secret" opening, where they hold onto a respectable shape with a 40.7% win rate.

The endurance of this competitor is worthy of admiration—their longest winning streak caps at 5 games, and despite a few tough runs (longest losing streak of 11), Danny bounces back with a remarkable 90.48% comeback rate. When pieces go missing (and sometimes they mysteriously do!), this donkey doesn’t bray in defeat but keeps fighting, winning over 40% of games after losing material.

This player combines an old-school feel for the endgame (82.8% frequency) with patience, often stretching games to around 87 moves when winning. Whether playing White or Black, Danny_The_Donkey prefers the saddle early but shows a slight preference for the White side, winning nearly 47% of games there.

Danny excels most in the evenings—at 22:00, the donkey is at its strongest, winning every recorded game played at that magic hour. Strategic timing and perhaps a well-timed carrot keep this player alert and combatively sharp.

Their most recent memorable victory was a classy grind in a Sicilian Defense main line, meticulously executed against a tough opponent, ending when the rival gracefully resigned under pressure. And when the game doesn’t go their way, Danny tends to shrug it off without any early resignations or timeouts — this donkey is loyal to the end!

In head-to-head duels, Danny_The_Donkey has faced some familiar foes many times over, with mixed results but relentless spirit. Notably, opponents like oparingrigoriy and arystanner23 have locked horns with Danny dozens of times, fueling classic rivalries.
