Meet Denimus142: The Endgame Enthusiast

Denimus142 is a player who treats the chessboard like a battleground and the endgame like an epic saga. With a peak rapid rating of 1536 achieved in May 2025, this player has shown well-rounded skills but a particular appetite for high-stakes finishers. If you ever want to catch them at their best, try playing against them around 11 PM—their prime time for domination and tactical wizardry.

Playing Style & Personality

On average, Denimus142's games last around 65 moves whether a win or a loss, highlighting a preference for gritty, drawn-out battles rather than quick skirmishes. Their style leans into heavy endgame play, featuring an impressive 70% endgame frequency. And talk about resilience — they boast a comeback rate of nearly 75%, proving that if things go south, it’s never game over until the last rook falls.

Early resignation? Not in Denimus142’s vocabulary (only 2.85% early resignation rate). These are fights worth battling to the bitter end!

Opening Repertoire: A French Twist with a Queen's Pawn Flair

While many players fear the complexities of the French Defense, Denimus142 embraces it with gusto. From the French Defense Knight Variation (boasting a neat 50.25% win rate) to the Normal Variation, the defense is a go-to weapon. They also enjoy the Queen’s Pawn Opening, especially the Zukertort and Chigorin Variations, where their win rate soars above 53%. Occasionally, they throw opponents a curveball with the tricky Englund Gambit, and despite being a gambit, Denimus142 seems quite comfortable navigating its wild waters.

Not Just a Rapid Player

Though primarily a Rapid aficionado with hundreds of games under their belt, they dabble in Blitz as well. Their Blitz peak sits at 1239, but they've only played a handful of Blitz games recently — perhaps saving all that tactical firepower for their main stage.

Recent Battles: Wins, Losses, and Board Shenanigans

In their latest epic battle on June 5th, 2025, Denimus142 routed beeroshenoda with an aggressive push in the Englund Gambit, finishing with a commanding pawn push (1... e5 and then 3. f4 was just spicy!). However, not all games end in victory—just a few hours later, Denimus142 bowed out against starover1962 after a tough French Defense encounter where things went sideways on the kingside.

Stats That Tell a Story

• Total rapid wins: 2654
• Total rapid games played: well over 5000 (let’s just say these pieces have seen some action)
• Longest winning streak: 12 games. That’s almost a full mini-tournament without a hiccup!
• Despite a “tilt factor” of 11, Denimus142 bounces back swiftly with a win rate after losing a piece at a respectable 45%.

Summary: Denimus142 is a patient, tactical player who thrives in longer, strategic games, especially in the rapid format. Famous for their gritty endgame battles and a knack for comebacks, opponents best prepare for war and a good chess saga. When they open with the French Defense or the Queen’s Pawn, expect a serious challenge — and if you see them playing past 10 PM, watch out! They're probably at their most dangerous.
