Profile Summary: DECHESSAUR

Meet DECHESSAUR, a tenacious chess warrior whose journey started back in 2010 with a Daily rating hovering around 1187, determined to conquer the 1400+ realm by 2018. With a peak Daily rating of 1428 and a Blitz high of 1386, this player embodies a mix of grit and grinding passion, often juggling between Daily, Blitz, Rapid, and Bullet formats like a true multi-tasking strategist.

Playing Style & Strengths

DECHESSAUR is the kind of player who loves a long battle—boasting an average of 56 moves per win and never shy of the endgame, featuring in over 59% of their matches. The psychological rollercoaster hits a tilt factor of 9, which means this player sometimes channels the frustration into their next brilliant idea or, occasionally, a spectacular blunder.

Endgame maestros beware: with a comeback rate of 66% and a stubborn 40% win rate after losing a piece, DECHESSAUR rarely gives up, proving resilience is their middle name.

Favorite Openings

  • Philidor Defense: Especially in Daily games, it’s a juicy 67% win rate—clearly a favored trusty weapon.
  • Italian Game and its variations: A classic choice, albeit with a win rate flirting around 40-44% across formats.
  • Van't Kruijs Opening: Rapid games seem to be DECHESSAUR’s playground for this underdog opening, topping a comfortable 65% success rate.

Legendary Battles

DECHESSAUR’s chess tale is peppered with dramatic finishes. For instance, a dazzling checkmate victory against Wrightsway in July 2017 featured an aggressive Vienna Game turning into a tactical feast (and a tidy checkmate to seal the deal).

Not all days are cakewalks, though! Some matches ended with resignation losses to the same opponent, emphasizing that every hero has their nemesis.

Fun Facts & Trivia

  • Longest winning streak? A solid 10 games—DECHESSAUR has tasted the sweet nectar of domination.
  • Likes to play best around 6 PM—perhaps the best thinking happens after a good dinner.
  • Early resignation rate is low (~3.2%), so don't expect them to quit easily. You’ll have to earn your victories.
  • Enjoys the psychological warfare of chess, alternating between brilliant comebacks and “what just happened?!” moments.

All in all, DECHESSAUR is an adventurous tactician, blending classical choices with surprising forays into lesser-known openings. A player who’s as stubborn as a medieval knight yet always willing to dance the beautiful game’s unpredictable waltz.

If you challenge DECHESSAUR, be ready for sharp fights, cunning traps, and perhaps a checkmate delivered with a wink.
