Profile Summary: daz-dink

Meet daz-dink, a blitz and rapid chess enthusiast whose journey through the 64 squares is as dynamic and unpredictable as their rating graph. With a peak rapid rating of 615 (achieved in December 2024) and a blitz peak rating soaring up to 582 in May 2025, daz-dink shows a thirst for tactical battles and rapid-fire decisions.

Known for a somewhat unconventional opening repertoire, daz-dink often champions the Nimzowitsch Larsen Attack and the Van 't Kruijs Opening. This choice suggests a fondness for imbalanced positions and creative play over the beaten paths.

With over 3,000 blitz games under their belt — boasting a nearly balanced win/loss record (2026 wins to 2018 losses) — and a similarly hectic rapid record (2597 wins and 2596 losses), this player truly believes in living on the edge. Draws? Rare. Resignations? Somewhat frequent — with an early resignation rate of nearly 14%, proving sometimes they just can’t wait to pack it up and start a new game.

Speaking of psychology, daz-dink’s tilt factor is a modest 12, suggesting most losses are met with a cool head and a fresh push forward. Interestingly, our hero's comeback rate is an impressive 62%, showing a knack for turning games around even when the chips are down—probably a sip of coffee and a deep breath away from glory.

When not toiling in the trenches of blitz, daz-dink expertly pulls off blitz checkmates like the recent triumph on May 30, 2025, using the Nimzowitsch Larsen Attack Classical Variation. The 48-move victory against Amir_krba was a masterclass in patience and precision, finishing with a slick Rd7# checkmate — proof that perseverance pays off, even if your rating average hovers in the mid-400s.

daz-dink also has a curious daily chess peak rating of 400, achieved early on in March 2024, and an interesting habit of performing best in the oddest hours; 3 AM is listed as their prime time to conquer the board. Maybe the late-night silence really fuels their strategic genius.
