Daviddt1305: The Road Warrior of the Rapid Time Control
Meet Daviddt1305, a resilient and tenacious player in the wild kingdom of online rapid chess. With a peak rating that once soared above 1000 (a lofty 1021 to be exact) in April 2025, David is no stranger to battlefield glory... or the occasional tumultuous fall back to almost 500. But hey, such rollercoasters make the game more exciting, right?
Playing Style & Personality
David embraces the unpredictable nature of chess with a touch of humor and a lot of grit. Known for his early resignations (roughly 7% of his games), he doesn’t like to linger in dead ends — who does? His endgame skill is active in almost half of his games, playing on for the long haul when the going gets tough. Average game length hovers near the 50-move mark, showing patience but also a willingness to wrestle until victory or defeat.
His psychological game is colorful: a tilt factor of 6 means he sometimes gets visibly frustrated, and his comeback rate sits impressively at 68%, proving he's not one to fold easily after setbacks. This warrior thrives best around 5 PM — the golden hour for his chess mojo!
Strengths and Openings
The King’s Pawn Opening is David’s bread and butter, with nearly 48% win rate in rapid games and a penchant for classical development. He’s also fond of the Sicilian Defense and the Queen’s Pawn where his win rates climb over 60% — a sign that chaos sometimes suits him. That said, the English Opening's Kings English Variation has caused him some headaches, with a 0% win rate, but every great player has those pesky bad habits.
Recent Battles
David’s recent games show the thrilling highs and frustrating lows of an online gladiator. His last documented win was a beautifully executed checkmate against Ramiz49194, demonstrating mastery of the Three Knights Opening. But like a true fighter, he has faced tough defeats from opponents like "EnPassantYourEx" and "anti_woke" — proving every game matters and no victory comes without trials.
Fun Facts
- David's longest winning streak clocks in at three games — steady but mighty.
- His nemesis list includes several players who seem to have his number, but he shines bright against many others with 100% win rates!
- Black pieces or White, the results are fairly close, with just a tiny tilt towards playing White when feeling luckier.
All in all, Daviddt1305 is the kind of player who embodies the true spirit of chess: fighting smart, laughing at losses, and always ready for the next game with fresh energy — whether it's a blitz bullet or a ponderous rapid duel. The online chessboard is a little more exciting with him on it.
