Denis Dupuis - The Relentless Warrior of the 64 Squares
Denis Dupuis, known in the chess world as DenisD2009, is a fighter on the board who combines patience with bursts of tactical fireworks. His journey through the ranks showcases a player who’s clearly addicted to the thrill of Bullet chess – where he’s not just fast, but impressively resilient.
Rating & Style
His peak Bullet rating soared to a commendable 1700 as of February 2021, the same period when his game clock probably underwent more stress tests than a rocket launch countdown. Blitz fans know him for a solid 1509 rating, while Rapid and Daily formats remind us he can slow down just enough to avoid getting checkmated by time.
Denis is no quitter: with an early resignation rate under 10%, he fights on through thick and thin. About 47% of his battles go the endgame distance—a true testament to sticking power. Average moves per win are just over 55, so he’s not in a rush to blunder. However, if things get rough, expect a comeback – his comeback rate is an impressive 65.57%.
Opening Secrets
Denis’s openings are a mystery even to himself — beloved “Top Secret” and “Unknown Opening” are his weapons of choice. In Bullet, these have given him a solid win rate just over 51% when Top Secret, though results are a bit more modest when he’s wandering the Unknown. In Blitz, Unknown Opening games reveal a stronger 55.56% win rate, proving sometimes that mystery can pay off!
Noteworthy Achievements & Records
