Дондуков Сэнгдорж (Donseng) - FIDE Master Extraordinaire
Meet Дондуков Сэнгдорж, known in the chess universe simply as Donseng — a master of the 64 squares and recipient of the esteemed title FIDE Master. With an arsenal of strategic moves sharper than a samurai’s katana, Donseng has been thrilling opponents from blitz to bullet and even the rare foray into rapid chess.
Don’t be fooled by the modest average ratings hovering around the mid-2500s in blitz or the high 2600s and 2800s peak performances in bullet and blitz respectively — this player is a force of nature. Whether it's the lightning-paced world of bullet chess, where Donseng reached an astonishing 2845 rating (peak bullet!), or enduring long, sleepless battles in blitz netting a peak of 2730, Donseng's resilience and tactical prowess are undeniable.
Known for a near 90% comeback rate, Donseng never throws in the towel early—except the 2.39% early resignation rate might mean the rare humble bow when things go really south. The endgame lover’s spirit shines bright, participating in endgames in almost 84% of games, averaging an epic 84 moves per win. Talk about stamina and patience!
A true connoisseur of the Queen’s Gambit Declined (ECO D30), which they wield with surgical precision, Donseng showcased a recent stylish victory against general19 by resignation — a sweet finish after a thorough battle on August 28, 2023. And while every warrior faces occasional setbacks, losses like the January 2022 bout against Omk124 have only sharpened the resolve.
When asked about peak performance times, Donseng’s secret is out: dawn’s early light around 5 AM is prime for unleashing their best chess magic. And if you're curious when to challenge, good luck outwitting someone who’s scored over a thousand wins in blitz alone, plus hundreds in bullet — and a perfectly undefeated record in that one magical rapid game.
Off the board, Donseng is a mystery wrapped in an enigma, but on the board, it’s all about precision, endurance, and more than a pinch of fun. Whether you meet them as Donseng or by their full name, it’s clear this FIDE Master is a vibrant presence in the online and tournament landscape, making chess look less like a war, and more like an art with occasional bursts of lightning-fast dance moves.
