David Little: The Strategic Adventurer of the Chessboard
Known in the chess world simply as Dave3Little, David Little dances across the 64 squares with a curious blend of tactical awareness and a dash of unpredictability. His 2025 rating tells a story of a player who flourishes in Rapid chess with a peak score of 461 and an average hovering around 307, proving that patience and speed aren’t mutually exclusive in his game.
In Blitz, David shows spunk with a max rating of 276, though his rollercoaster ride from 100 to 276 shows every player's struggle between brilliant wins and "What just happened?" moments. Bullet chess, however, remains his one-game wonder with just a single match rated 171, suggesting he might prefer a slower burn to the firecracker speed.
Opening Mastery with a Twist
David loves to shake things up early in the game, boasting impressive win rates with some eclectic openings. Flicking through his Blitz repertoire, the Alekhine’s Defense and its Maroczy Variation are his fortresses, winning two-thirds of the time. The rarely chosen Grob Opening also brings him good fortune—perhaps an opening as unconventional as his sense of humor.
Rapid games reveal a more confident David, who thrives on the Vienna Game Falkbeer Variation with a stellar 80% win rate, and enjoys putting opponents on the back foot with the Queen's Pawn Opening and Grob Opening. His opening choices hint at a player unafraid to venture off the beaten path, inviting both risk and reward.
Style and Psyche
David’s games typically stretch into the 50-move territory, showing a binocular view into long endgames, with an endgame frequency north of 57%. Even after stumbling by losing a piece, he turns to ninja mode with a 100% comeback win rate — a true testament to resilience, or perhaps his opponents just underestimate his stubborn streak. Despite an occasional tilt factor of 6 (we've all had those days), he manages to bounce back quickly.
