Michael Rossettie, better known by his username DD4RP, is a chess enthusiast with a uniquely steady climb through the ranks of online blitz and rapid play. Known for his fighting spirit and a comeback rate soaring at an impressive 72.79%, Michael hardly ever surrenders the battlefield early — his early resignation rate is a modest 1.07%, proving he’s in it for the long haul.

Since 2021, Michael’s rapid rating has danced between 1010 and 1290, with a peak rating of 1290 in 2023. Meanwhile, his blitz games have shown consistent improvement, with a maximum blitz rating nudging past 1100 in 2024. Over thousands of games—over 4,000 blitz battles and more than 1,200 rapid duels—he has maintained a win rate around 48%, proving he's no pushover, just stubbornly persistent.

A player to watch out for when the clock ticks under pressure, Michael’s win rate after losing a piece is a perfect 100%—yes, you read that right, he turns a potential disaster into a strategic opportunity every single time.

Endgames are his playground, accounting for nearly 60% of his matches, where his tactical awareness shines brightest.

Michael thrives in the psychological battle as well, showing commendable resilience with a tilt factor of just 11, meaning he keeps his cool despite the occasional setback. However, his rated-to-casual win difference hints that he savors the thrill of a good rated match just that little bit more.

Outside the numbers lies a player known for secretly guarding his top openings under the cryptic label "Top Secret", leaving opponents guessing and sometimes gratefully relieved.
