Profile: DvoretskyII
Meet DvoretskyII, a rapid warrior of the chessboard who oscillates between the glory of crushing victories and the bitter taste of tough losses, proving that even grandmasters have their “Oops” moments. With a peak rapid rating soaring up to 952 in August 2022 and a blitz peak of 840 a month later, they've got enough skill to intimidate and enough resilience to bounce back like a chessboard phoenix.
Famous for mastering the King's Pawn Opening with a commendable 51.6% win rate and dabbling in every popular opening from the Scandinavian Defense to the Four Knights Game Scotch Variation, DvoretskyII loves diversity in their playstyle. This player is as comfortable launching daring gambits as they are navigating endgames, evidenced by an endgame play frequency of over 51%, and an average game length just shy of 55 moves — yes, they enjoy the long haul.
While their win/loss record in rapid is as balanced as a perfectly poised bishop (1246 wins to 1264 losses), their comeback rate is an impressive 72.3%, showing that giving up is not in their vocabulary. Though their tilt factor is about 13 (translation: sometimes the chess gods don’t smile on them), they've notably declared 634 wins by resignation — they do like a good psychological battle!
Fun fact: Their best time to play is at 1 AM — so if you want to catch them napping, good luck! Odds are, they’ll be plotting the downfall of pawns and kings alike at a time when most of us are asleep.

From knights to queens, sacrifices to strategic retreats, DvoretskyII embodies the spirit of chess — a battle of wits, timing, and sometimes just sheer stubbornness. They might not be the highest-rated grandmaster on the circuit, but they've carved out a legacy of resilience and versatility... and maybe a secret nocturnal genius brewing checkmate at 1 AM.
