Dery Costa (aka Dery08) - Chess Enthusiast Extraordinaire

Dery Costa is a rapidly improving chess player who has journeyed through the ranks of Blitz, Rapid, Daily, and Bullet with a mixture of determination, occasional comedic missteps, and a sprinkling of pure brilliance. Whether it’s lightning-fast Blitz games or the more ponderous Daily battles, Dery’s chessboard antics have kept opponents guessing and spectators entertained.

Rating Rollercoaster

Starting from modest blitz ratings around 400 in 2023, Dery boldly stumbled and climbed their way to an impressive 618 by 2025. Rapid games have been Dery’s playground of choice, boasting a peak rating just shy of 1100, where persistence meets strategy in an epic face-off. Daily chess is comparatively tiny turf, but Dery’s 62.5% win rate there suggests steady, thoughtful play. Bullet chess? Let’s just say it’s a rollercoaster ride; a high of 290 has dipped to 176, proving that sometimes speed doesn’t beat strategy—unless you’re setting off on an unexpected skid across the board!

The Secret Weapon: Top Secret Opening

They say every player’s got their signature move, and Dery’s is aptly described as “Top Secret.” Over thousands of games, this mysterious opening has earned nearly a 50% win rate in Rapid chess with a respectable 46.9% in Blitz. Whether it’s cunning preparation or pure luck, opponents rarely get a friendly preview, and many leave wondering just what they missed.

Matchmaking Adventures

Dery’s frequent opponents include well-known challengers like "amauritop" and "loro157," where the win rates range from a strategic 58% to a more humbling 34%. For some, Dery is a terrifying foe—winning 100% against several players—while others remain cryptic mysteries, undefeated by Dery so far. There's something for everyone in this gauntlet!

Chess Style and Strategy

Dery is no quitter, with an astonishing 64.91% comeback rate, and a perfect 100% win rate after losing a piece—possibly because Dery probably starts complaining or plotting revenge immediately. An early resignation rate of just under 2% shows admirable stubbornness, and with an average game lasting around 54 moves when winning, these are not your average quickies.

Psychological Quirks

Beware the tilt factor—measured at 12—which means Dery’s mood swings might occasionally influence the game, especially if the coffee hasn’t kicked in. But don’t be fooled; rated matches versus casual games show a fierce competitive edge with a +2.18 win difference. Those hours between 8 and 11 AM are golden for Dery, with win rates soaring up to 100% and 69% respectively—proving the early bird really does get the chess worm.

In summary, Dery Costa is a chess player of gritty spirit, evolving skill, and an enigmatic flair that keeps every game unpredictable and fun. Whether you face Dery across the board or watch from the sidelines, expect a battle marked by clever tactics, occasional blunders, and a hearty dose of humor.
