Profile: Dpacholo
Dpacholo is a chess adventurer whose journey on the 64 squares is as colorful as a mixed opening repertoire. With a Rapid peak rating of 629 achieved in March 2025 and a dazzling Daily peak rating of 832 in May 2025, this player is surely on a quest to outwit both opponents and sometimes their own blunders.
Playing Style & Strengths
Preferring a balanced mix of gambits and solid openings, Dpacholo has a fondness for the Queen's Pawn Opening and the Englund Gambit—both showing respectable win rates in the 33%-44% range. The Chigorin Variation of the Queen's Pawn Opening is a particular stronghold, boasting a 60% win rate. With an average of about 40 moves per victorious game, they are patient, often going deep into the endgame (45% endgame frequency) — a sign of true stamina rather than a quick resign whenever things look tough.
Tactics and Resilience
Known for making comebacks (a hefty 69% comeback rate!), Dpacholo refuses to go down without a fight. Even after losing a piece, they still clinch wins over 32% of the time — a true headache for their opponents. Avoiding premature resignations, Dpacholo has a 0% early resignation rate, proving they battle on with hope until the bitter end (or till fatigue kicks in).
Notable Stats and Quirks
- Total Rapid games: 79 with a near-even split of wins and losses (32 wins, 39 losses, 8 draws)

Memorable Games
In a recent Rapid showdown against daum_bln, Dpacholo returned to a classic Scandinavian Defense Mieses-Kotrc Variation and snatched victory by forcing their opponent to resign. The win was quick and sharp, with slick queen maneuvers that left the opponent’s king feeling very lonely and vulnerable.
The Personality Behind the Pawns
While Dpacholo's games show a strategic mind, their psychological "Tilt Factor" scores a modest 6, affirming that frustration happens, but it's all part of the fun. Rated play can be tougher by about 10 points than casual games — yet every loss is just fuel for a comeback!
