Ali Ekber Doğan, Known Online as Deeper44
Ali Ekber Doğan, who plays online under the username Deeper44, is a FIDE Candidate Master and a dedicated blitz specialist. With more than 18,000 recorded blitz games, Deeper44 has built a chess identity around endurance, tactical persistence, and the occasional decision to keep playing long after most people would have gone to bed.
Blitz Chess Specialist
Blitz is clearly Deeper44's natural habitat. The statistics show a player comfortable with fast decisions, complex positions, and marathon sessions. His peak blitz performance reached 2799, while his overall blitz record includes 7,740 wins, 9,291 losses, and 1,385 draws.
That record suggests a fearless competitor who is rarely interested in quietly agreeing to a draw. Deeper44's longest winning streak reached 11 games, and his current winning streak stands at five. Even after losing material, his comeback rate is an impressive 87.71 percent, a useful skill when the clock is ticking and the position has already caught fire.
Opening Repertoire
As White, Deeper44 frequently enters the strategic world of the Catalan Opening, while the statistics also show extensive experience with the Grünfeld Defense and the Benko Gambit. As Black, the French Defense is a major part of the repertoire, including the Burn, Exchange, Advance, and Guimard variations.
The numbers reveal a player who enjoys serious opening battles but is not afraid of unconventional territory. The repertoire ranges from classical positional systems to gambits that ask opponents an immediate question: would you like to keep your pawn, or would you prefer to keep your sanity?
Playing Style and Chess Personality
Deeper44's games are defined by resilience and a willingness to play deep into the position. Nearly 88 percent of the recorded games reached an endgame, making the endgame an important part of the player's practical strength. Wins average nearly 86 moves, while losses average over 90, indicating that surrender is not usually the first item on the agenda.
The rook is Deeper44's most common checking piece, and the player delivers the first check in almost half of all analyzed games. White has been the more successful color, with a 45.27 percent win rate compared with 38.81 percent as Black. The best recorded time of day is around 3:00 a.m., which may indicate peak concentration, nocturnal determination, or simply an unusually strong relationship with coffee.
