Kurt Brown (DBHKurt) - The Chess Adventurer
Meet Kurt Brown, a chess player whose rating journey is as thrilling as a knight's gallop across the board. Known by his handle DBHKurt, he’s carved out a niche in Rapid and Blitz games, leaving his opponents guessing and occasionally wondering if he’s a grandmaster or just extremely lucky.
Rating Rollercoaster & Stats
Kurt’s Rapid rating has shown steady improvement, rising from a humble 178 in early 2023 to a respectable 509 by 2025. His Blitz adventures are equally spirited, although with more ups and downs — peaking at 794 back in 2023 before settling around the low 200s.
While Bullet chess seems to be his occasional speed run, with just two games and a max rating of 107, it’s clear that Rapid and Blitz are where he shines – or at least struggles bravely.
Playing Style & Quirks
- Early Resignation Rate: About 13.23% – Kurt knows when to fold ‘em, probably after spotting a fork or a sneaky queen attack.
- Endgame Frequency: Nearly 36% of games reach the endgame – proving he’s not afraid of the long haul.
- Average Moves per Game: Around 42 moves, whether he wins or loses, indicating a tactical marathon rather than a quick sprint.
- Comeback King: With a 48.16% comeback rate and a perfect 100% win rate after losing a piece, Kurt fights til the last rook is down. Clearly, giving up is not in his vocabulary (unless early resignation kicks in).

Wearing his heart on his sleeve, Kurt’s tilt factor is at a modest 7. Despite some frustration, his ability to win 47.21% more rated games than casual ones speaks volumes about his competitive spirit.
Secret Weapon

Memorable Moments
Kurt’s longest winning streak reached an impressive 10 games—proving that when the stars align (and the bishops cooperate), magic happens. Currently on a 1-game winning streak, it’s anyone’s guess if the saga continues!
Social & Competition Highlights
Known to face opponents like armard83 and benpacker07, Kurt has demonstrated a curious mix of triumphs and trials. His win record against many online names is either flawless or hilariously one-sided – no middle ground for our chess gladiator.
When asked about his favorite time to play, Kurt’s peak win percentages appear late at night (around 9 PM and 11 PM), suggesting he might moonlight as a chess ninja.
