About D W

If chess were a biological system, D W would be the nucleus: central, complex, and full of surprises. Starting their journey at a modest rapid rating of 836 in 2021, D W has shown evolutionary resilience and adaptability, steadily climbing to 1121 by 2025. That's quite a growth spurt in the chess genome!

Known in the wild by the username dw171no, D W plays predominantly rapid games but dabbles in bullet chess with limited exposure (and a tough learning curve, losing all three recorded bullet games in 2022). With over 9,800 rapid wins tucked into their bio, D W certainly knows how to survive in this digital ecosystem.

Playing Style & Tactics

D W rarely resigns early—only about 2.79% of the time—preferring to battle through the chess cellular cycle. Their endgame frequency is impressively high at 46.57%, suggesting a knack for late-stage adaptations and finishing strong.

Average moves per win are around 56, a careful and possibly methodical strategy, while losses tend to come quicker, averaging 48 moves. Their comeback rate is a stunning 66.31%, and they boast a perfect record when down a piece—talk about regenerative powers!

Openings in D W’s DNA

  • Philidor Defense: Played 2,618 times with a win rate of about 45.5%
  • King’s Pawn Opening: Almost 1,000 games with a 52.4% win rate — D W’s favorite evolutionary path.
  • Italian Game: 877 games and over a 55% win rate — definitely a strong gene in the opening repertoire.
  • Other defenses like the Scandinavian and Caro-Kann show D W’s versatility in creating diverse tactical phenotypes.

Psychology and Timing

Though D W experiences a mild tilt factor of 12, their Rated Vs. Casual win difference of nearly 49% indicates a tricky interplay between competitive nerves and casual comfort zones.

They thrive playing between noon and early afternoon (peaking at a 56.7% win rate at 12 PM) and have a notable strategic advantage late afternoon onwards, with diminishing returns in the wee hours (like a nocturnal creature preferring daylight).

Opponent Records and Rivalries

D W has tussled most often with crlmr1, showing a win rate of 75% against this opponent, and maintains impressive dominance over many other aliases with 100% win rates.

Some opponents have proven to be the natural predators in their ecosystem with win rates as low as 0%, but overall, D W shows a strong adaptive strategy to overcome many challengers.

Fun Facts

  • Longest winning streak: 18 games — surely a sign of a chlorophyll-rich mindset, soaking up victories one after another.
  • White pieces yield a 51.43% win rate, black a respectable 45.98% — an example of D W dancing between the chromosomes of the chessboard.
  • Playing on Saturdays brings their best performance (about 50.65% win rate), proving that even chess players enjoy a weekend purr-formance boost.

In summary, D W is a fascinating specimen in the chess biosphere: evolving steadily, adapting well to challenges, and never afraid to go the distance. Watching this player’s career unfold is like observing natural selection in action — survival of the fittest move!
