Profile: dragonwelp
Meet dragonwelp, the battlefield maestro of the 64 squares where dragons meet pawns and knights dance around unsuspecting kings. With a blistering Bullet rating pushing past 2560 and a Blitz peak soaring to 2664 in 2024, dragonwelp proves that speed and strategy can go hand-in-hand, especially when blitzing past opponents faster than a dragon's breath!
Chess Journey & Highlights
Since bursting onto the scene, dragonwelp has racked up an impressive record: over 600 wins in Blitz alone, conquering the clock and the board with relentless energy. Their longest winning streak? An intimidating 24 games, enough to make even the most seasoned grandmasters nervously double-check their moves.
Favored openings in Bullet showcase a cunning mix of classical and tricky lines, boasting perfect 100% win rates with sharp setups like the King’s Indian Attack and the Queen’s Gambit Declined Semi-Slav. But beware the Caro-Kann Defense — that's where dragons have occasionally singed their wings with a 0% win rate, demonstrating they're humble enough to lose in style.
Playing Style
Dragonwelp is a tenacious tactician known for a comeback rate soaring over 82%, refusing to wave the white flag even when pieces join the casualty list. Endgames are their playground, played in an average of 80+ moves — a true marathoner in a world of bullet joggers. Early resignation? Practically a myth here, with a barely noticeable 0.46% resignation rate.
A player who shines brightest at an ungodly early hour (7 AM is prime time!), dragonwelp enjoys the quiet solitude of dawn to execute daring attacks and sharp counters that leave opponents scratching their heads. The slightly lower win rate after losing a piece (43%) only adds to the urgency and excitement that radiates from every game.
Memorable Moments
One of dragonwelp's latest masterpieces was a thrilling victory against doublesik, employing an orthodox King’s Indian Defense to win on time after forcing fierce exchanges and exploiting positional pressure. Tales like these are what keep chess forums buzzing and dragonwelp’s highlight reel ever-growing.
The Opponent Chronicles
Not one for making easy friends on the board, dragonwelp has tangled most frequently with players like dermotez and sparklymarky, with whom intense rivalries have brewed over dozens of games. Their win rates against these foes often hover around the 50% mark, proving every game is a hard-fought duel full of surprises.
In Summary
Whether whipping up complex opening storms, grinding in endgames, or simply out-timing everyone with lightning-fast moves, dragonwelp embodies what it means to be a modern-day chess dragon: fierce, unpredictable, and sometimes delightfully fiery. Opponents beware, because when the clock ticks and the dragons awaken, there’s no escaping the fiery embrace of dragonwelp.
