Meet Dennis481, a chess adventurer who’s been riding the rating waves like a true grand tourist of the board since 2020. With a peak rapid rating soaring to 1207 back in June 2020, Dennis’s journey is a thrilling tale of peaks, valleys, and plenty of pawns sacrificed to the chess gods.
Dennis has a fondness for the King’s Pawn Opening and its Kings Knight Variation, where he manages to eke out a respectable 52% win rate - not too shabby for a player who embraces both wins and honorable defeats with equal gusto. If you like the tactical chaos of the Scotch Game, Dennis is your guy, sporting a solid 68% success rate there!
Rapid games are Dennis’s playground, clocking over 1,000 games with a nearly balanced record: 308 wins, 344 losses, and 29 draws. Blitz and Bullet are more of a mixed bag, but that only adds to the charm of a player unafraid to experiment under pressure and time constraints.
When it comes to style, Dennis isn’t the type to resign early — with an early resignation rate of just 7.4%, he fights until the bitter end. His average games run over 50 moves, showing a delight in long, drawn-out battles. Thanks to a fantastic 72% comeback rate, Dennis is the embodiment of chess resilience, often turning lost positions into sweet victories.
The psychological stats reveal some colorful quirks: the best chess-playing hours are around 3 AM (yes, Dennis enjoys the witching hour as much as a good fianchetto), but watch out for a tilt factor of 7, which means losing can sting a bit! Thankfully, Dennis bounces back with gusto.
Notable Recent Battles
Dennis’s recent triumphs include a thrilling checkmate victory with the Philidor Defense in a rapid game against SPPPC, showcasing sharp tactical awareness and determination. Of course, not all battles end in glory — Dennis recently fell to REPENTERS by checkmate, a testament to the unforgiving nature of the king’s dance on the 64 squares.
Opponent Highlights
Dennis has built friendly rivalries with players like wisemsahb (almost 79% win rate) and leoneyyyy (100% win rate in their encounters), proving that he’s no pushover. The chessboard is his arena, and each opponent is an actor in his ongoing drama of wins, losses, and occasional draws.
Whether it’s a rapid, blitz, or daily duel, Dennis481 displays a passionate and gritty chess spirit, ever willing to learn and laugh — mostly when his rook doesn’t walk off the board by accident.
