Dmitry Vyatkin: The FIDE Master with a Dragon's Heart
Dmitry Vyatkin, better known in some circles as Dragon_Dmitry, is a formidable FIDE Master whose chess prowess has set many boards ablaze. With a blitz rating soaring above 2800 at his peak, Dmitry's lightning-fast moves have left opponents scrambling for shelter. Despite the fierce moniker, Dmitry's style is as calculated as a grandmaster’s endgame, often stretching games well over 70 moves — because why finish quickly when you can savor the sweet agony of a prolonged siege?
His blitz record proudly boasts over 540 wins, with a nearly equal number of losses, balanced by over 100 draws — proving that he’s not just in it for the kills but for the bonafide, adrenaline-pumping contest. Rapid and bullet formats showcase his versatility, with win rates nudging well above 50%, and a bullet perfect win rate in the rare games he's played. With an astonishing comeback rate close to 92%, Dmitry never truly sizes up defeat until the checkmate is declared.
Known for a psychological resilience that would make a Zen master nod in approval, Dmitry’s tilt factor is commendably low, even when the chips are down. His opponents, from "dianamirza" to "alespachmann," have found themselves on the wrong end of his brilliance more often than not.
When asked about his secret, Dmitry grins and says, "Patience, a pinch of madness, and never resign early!" Indeed, his early resignation rate is less than half a percent — because giving up is simply not in his vocabulary. Whether it’s daylight or the witching hour, Dmitry’s playstyle adapts, peaking around 9-10 AM and 8 PM where his win rates climb over 60%, like a chess-playing nocturnal creature.
From outsmarting opponents with calculated openings shrouded in secrecy, to outlasting them in endgames with surgical precision, Dmitry Vyatkin is a name that chess fans — and adversaries alike — remember with a mix of awe and respect.
