Profile
Agustin Ambrogi, better known to the online chess world as DonMicheleCorleone, is a FIDE Master whose handle suggests mafia control but whose actual specialty is chaos on the 1-minute clock. Bullet is his domain; he has played more than 2,600 rated bullet games and pushed his peak to 2896 (2026-02-27). He has also crossed the 2800 mark in blitz with a peak of 2822 (2026-01-03). When he occasionally slows down to rapid or daily, he stays perfect, with a clean 3 for 3 record in rapid and a win in his only daily game.
Playing Style
Agustin is a 1.e4 player with an appetite for complications. He gets the first check in about 57% of his games and peppers opponents with rook and queen checks. He does not give up early, with an early resignation rate just over 1%, and his comeback rate sits at 87.75%, meaning trailing positions rarely stay lost for long. Against lower rated opponents he is ruthlessly efficient, winning over 66% of the time, while against higher rated players he still manages a respectable 29% win rate. His games run deep, often past move 80, even in bullet.
Opening Repertoire
As Black, Agustin returns again and again to the Scandinavian Defense, with over 500 bullet games and more than 130 blitz games in that line. As White, he favors the Sicilian Defense: Closed, where he scores 67% in blitz, and he also regularly plays the French Defense: Exchange Variation. He is not afraid of offbeat systems either, having logged hundreds of games in the Bird Opening: Dutch Variation, Batavo Gambit, the Amazon Attack, and the Australian Defense. His wins come from outlasting opponents rather than outpreparing them.
Rivalries and Foes
No opponent has shared the virtual battlefield with Agustin more than molinov_aciegas. Their 62 game rivalry is a genuine grudge match, with Agustin winning 33, losing 24, and drawing 5. Another recurring adversary is Anselm Wagner, who has faced him 49 times and actually holds a 26 to 17 edge in wins. The Don also battles Mandy2k8 regularly, with 42 meetings and a narrow 21 to 18 advantage. These frequent rematches suggest he enjoys the mental grind of familiar foes.
The Mind of a Marathoner
Despite playing bullet, Agustin has the patience of a classical grinder. His longest winning streak is 10, and so is his longest losing streak, meaning his emotional swing is as dramatic as his games. His tilt factor is maxed out at 10, but he plays his best at 6 a.m., when the rest of the world is asleep. Sundays are his strongest day, with a 50% win rate, while Mondays are his danger zone. When the clock is running, he is a fighter to the last second.
