Donát Daróczi - FIDE Master & Bullet Blitz Connoisseur

Donát Daróczi, affectionately known in the chess circles as drdaro, is no ordinary player – they’ve earned the prestigious title of FIDE Master, a badge worn by those who dance gracefully on the 64 squares.

Rating Rocket

Starting their journey around 2023 with a bullet rating of about 2122, Donát has since skyrocketed to a blistering 2593 in bullet by 2025. A true speed fiend, their blitz numbers also reflect a battle-hardened warrior’s resilience, with a peak rating surpassing 2550. Slow and steady? More like fast and unpredictable!

Playing Style & Tactics

Donát combines tactical genius and stubborn perseverance: a comeback rate of 84.33% and a staggering 93.71% win rate after losing a piece is proof that giving up is simply not in their vocabulary (though they do keep early resignation low at just 4.34%). On average, their games stretch close to 75 moves per win, because not only do they finish strong, they linger long enough to make sure victory is sweet and well-earned.

Bullet Blitz Beast

With hundreds of games under their belt each year, drdaro’s bullet and blitz achievements are nothing short of legendary. More than 1000 blitz battles alone with a win rate over 41%, and bullet games where the win ratio hovers around 44% — these are the numbers of a player who thrives under pressure and loves chaos winging in a blur of rapid moves.

Psychological Resilience

Tilt factor? A modest 15. That means when the storm hits, Donát keeps their calm better than most. Though the difference between rated and casual wins may throw a small wrench, they know how to handle the heat, making the most of every position.
