Player Profile: DH522
Meet DH522, a rapid chess maestro with a knack for both surprising comebacks and occasional "I give up" moments. Boasting a peak rapid rating of 597 as of May 2025, DH522 has battled through 195 rapid games, emerging victorious in 104 of them. With an average rating hovering around 526, this player isn’t just here to participate—they’re here to test your nerves and tactical wits!
Playing Style & Strengths
DH522's style is a curious blend of resilience and patience, with an impressive comeback rate of over 63%. They have a stubborn streak against loss, enduring an average of 66 moves even in defeat, yet wrapping up wins in about 49 moves. While early resignations are rare (a modest 2.3%), the endgame is where DH522 really shines, playing out sharp strategic battles and turning defense into offense a remarkable 63% of the time. Oh, and beware, because their ability to win after losing a piece stands at a respectable 46%, showing that giving up a knight isn't always the end of the story.
Opening Repertoire
A fan of classic 1.e4 openings, DH522’s favorite weapon seems to be the King’s Pawn Opening, boasting a sturdy 75% win rate across 24 games. Another favorite pit stop lies in the Englund Gambit, an offbeat choice with a surprisingly potent 66.67% win rate. However, the notorious Queen’s Pawn Opening Zukertort Variation is less forgiving, holding DH522 to a humble 23.53% wins—clearly a variation that dances on their nerves.
Psychological Quirks & Best Times
With a tilt factor of 6, DH522 knows the occasional frustration of Chess Gods but recovers quickly to keep pushing forward. This player prefers the limelight of late evenings, hitting their peak at 10 PM where their win rate impressively spikes to 100%.
