Deomund: The Unstoppable Chess Virtuoso

Meet Deomund, a chess player whose rating might not break the internet, but whose persistence certainly breaks opponents' spirits. A player of daily, rapid, blitz, and bullet chess, Deomund has crafted a niche as a resilient and strategic contender in the online chess arena of 2025.

Chess Journey and Stats

Starting modestly with a peak rating of 562 in rapid chess back in 2023, Deomund soared to a solid 640 in daily chess and 657 in blitz by May 2025. Rapid chess, however, remains a battleground with wins and losses often neck and neck, but never without fierce competition. Daily chess appears to be Deomund's sweet spot: three games, three wins, zero losses, and an undefeated streak that hints at tactical brilliance—or possibly just very careful opening selections.

Opening Repertoire: The French Connection

With a fondness for the French Defense (especially its Normal and Horwitz varieties), Deomund has a reputation for quick and decisive control over the center. The French Defense's solidity aligns perfectly with Deomund’s cunning style, demonstrated by a perfect 100% win rate in daily games using this defense.

Playing Style & Personality

Deomund’s style is a paradox wrapped in a chessboard. They seem to love the endgame (engaged in endgames nearly 66% of the time) and boast a comeback rate of over 66%, proving that they don't throw in the towel easily – no early resignations here! With an average moves per win around 54 and losses stretching even longer, the games are battles of endurance, strategy, and nerve.

Black pieces bring out the best in Deomund, with an impressive 59% win rate, compared to 31% when playing white. Time of day also plays a mysterious role: 4 PM seems like a magical hour with a 100% win rate – perhaps chess gods visit at that time.

Battle Tested & Opponent Insights

Facing regulars like hayzenlepangolin and zaikad, Deomund shows grit with a modest win rate against them. Interestingly, the eternal nemesis remains "belecatonroi," who seized a perfect record over Deomund in their meetings—proving that even the best have a rival (and an Achilles' heel).

Memoirs of a Recent Triumph

On May 28, 2025, Deomund secured a spectacular checkmate victory against the aspiring HayzenLePangolin in a daily game that was a true chess thriller. With steady pressure from the French Defense Normal Variation, Deomund dismantled White’s position and sealed the deal with a sneaky queen checkmate on move 31. It was a game to remember, featuring strategic pawn pushes, precise piece maneuvers, and an endgame masterclass.

In Conclusion

Deomund might not hold the title of Grandmaster yet, but with tactical resilience, love for the endgame, and a penchant for well-timed comebacks, Deomund is certainly a player to watch. Whether they are silently plotting behind the black pieces or launching a slow, methodical siege with white, one thing’s for sure: Deomund plays chess like a story unfolding piece by piece, with a splash of humor and a dash of stubborn will.
