Dominic Mackle (aka demondom)
National Master Extraordinaire
Dominic Mackle, better known in the online chess realms as demondom, holds the prestigious title of National Master. A wizard on the chessboard, Dominic blends wit, strategy, and relentless determination to keep opponents on their toes—and occasionally bewildered.
Starting from modest beginnings with a blitz rating around 1300 in 2013, Dominic catapulted upwards, crossing the 2200 mark in blitz by 2025—clearly a force not to be taken lightly in rapid-fire tactical battles. A true blitz enthusiast, he has played over 14,000 blitz games with a winning rate nudging a formidable 54%, proving that even when the clock ticks down, Dominic’s cool prevails.
Fun fact: His "Top Secret" opening strategy in blitz is so effective that opponents often find themselves whispering, "Was that even legal?" Meanwhile, in the rapid and bullet categories, he continues to display solid skill, though blitz clearly remains his stage for brilliance.
Dominic’s style is a delightful cocktail of patience and aggression—he knows how to see the endgame coming (he plays endgames almost 78% of his games), and his tactical awareness is off the charts. Losing a piece? No problem — he boasts a 100% win rate after losing one, a comeback artist who turns adversity into advantage.
His longest winning streak? An impressive 13 games, reminiscent of a chess ninja silently slicing through defenses.
Recent Highlights:
- Countless victories by resignation: Dominic knows when to press the advantage until their will crumbles.
- Checkmate artist: He recently delivered a stunning queen-side assault ending in a swift mating net.
- (And on occasion, falls victim to time trouble himself—but hey, no one’s perfect!)
Off the board, Dominic’s approach to chess and life might be summarized as: "Play smart, think fast, but never lose your sense of humor." After all, in a game of 64 squares, sometimes the best strategy is a grin while dropping a knight to bait your opponent into a surprise trap.
Whether you face him online or in person, Dominic Mackle is a player who embodies dedication, skill, and a dash of chessboard cheekiness. Keep an eye on demondom—the board’s about to get interesting!
