Profile Summary: dessmound

Meet dessmound, a rising rapid chess enthusiast whose rating is currently soaring at 327 – a number that’s as impressive as it sounds for the year 2025. With a playstyle marked by patience and tactical alertness, dessmound has played 58 rapid games, tasting victory in 33 of them while gracefully accepting 21 losses and 4 draws. Not too shabby for a player who’s clearly having more fun than stress, given the impressively low tilt factor of 4!

What stands out about dessmound is the love for some classic openings – notably demolishing foes with the Kings Pawn Opening and its specific Kings Knight Variation. With a flawless 100% win record in the Philidor Defense, it's evident that when dessmound feels comfortable, those openings turn into winning machines. Other openings like the Scandinavian, Van t Kruijs, and even some quirky choices like the Van Geet Opening Reversed Nimzowitsch Variation have also brought smiles and points home.

Dessmound's longest winning streak is a tremendous 12 games, proving they can ride a chess-wave like a true pro. But no streak lasts forever, of course. Even the best have their off-days, and with losses sprinkled throughout, dessmound's comeback rate is a resilient 54.55%, and get this — they win every time they've lost a piece! Talk about turning setbacks into triumphs.

This player exhibits a balanced and thoughtful style – an average of around 47 moves in wins suggests grind-it-out endgames are a specialty, enhanced by a respectable 43.1% frequency in endgames. Both Black and White sides are treated with nearly equal winning love, hovering around 55% and 58%, respectively. Opponents beware: dessmound knows how to make every piece count.

Timing is key for dessmound. Wins are more likely during the mysterious witching hours of 6 am, 8 am, noon, and even late evenings at 22:00, with 100% win rates around those times. Early bird? Night owl? Depends on the opening – but definitely someone who doesn’t let the clock intimidate them.

Notable Recent Performances

  • Recent checkmate victory against "awabgy" : A dazzling endgame display in the King's Pawn Opening, clinched with a sneaky Rh1# – a classic finish that would make any grandmaster nod in approval. Replay it here.
  • Unyielding triumph against "grapefruitisgood" in the Philidor Defense leading to resignation – apparently too much was going on for the opponent to handle.
  • Sharp shootout versus "Emmixxy" featuring the Nimzowitsch-Larsen Attack resulting in an elegant checkmate with Qh7#.

Though not invincible (just ask u20-1), dessmound embraces the fun and challenge of each duel, sometimes losing but always ready to bounce back. With an early resignation rate of just 14.29%, this player fights hard till the last move—unless it’s a lost cause, then maybe a graceful bow.

In the exciting battlefield of live rapid chess, dessmound combines strategic know-how, psychological grit, and the occasional flourish of brilliance to keep friends and foes guessing. Whether grinding through a long endgame or blitzing a tactical shot, this username is one to watch. Check your King and beware — dessmound is on the move!
