Dylan Doucy (docteurgeio)
Meet Dylan Doucy, known in the chess world as docteurgeio, a rapid chess aficionado whose journey on the 64 squares is as unpredictable as his opening choices. Dylan's peak rapid rating hit a respectable 435 in May 2025, proving he's not just a casual player with a shiny username. His blitz stats might not turn heads—holding steady at 326 with only a couple of games—but rapid chess is clearly where the magic happens.
The Style and Strategy
Dylan plays a curious mix of openings, favoring the dynamic and classical:
- King's Pawn Opening (42.5% win rate)
- Queen's Pawn Opening variants including the Chigorin (around 45%) and a respectable 57% in other Queen's Pawn setups
- Notably, he's got a 100% success rate in the Pirc Defense —strictly business.
- Some openings, like the Italian Game, have not been so kind — a humbling 0% win rate there (hey, even the best have “off” days).
Victories, Defeats, and the Fine Art of Resignation
With a career rapid record of 92 wins, 98 losses, and 15 draws, Dylan epitomizes commitment — playing nearly 205 games at a level where patience and persistence win the day. His endgame frequency is almost 59%, showing he enjoys the grueling long haul rather than random quick skirmishes. Having an “early resignation rate” of just 7% suggests he fights valiantly, rarely giving up before the battle is truly done.
