Dwight Thomas (DWHITEKNIGHT20)

Meet Dwight Thomas, affectionately known in the chess world as DWHITEKNIGHT20, a bullet warrior with a beastly rating flirting with the 2000s! Since bursting onto the scene in 2016 with a blitz rating of 1328, Dwight has grown into a formidable force, especially in the lightning-fast bullet format, where his current rating hovers around a respectable 1825 as of 2025.

With over 65,000 bullet games played (because who needs sleep, right?), Dwight's win count exceeds 30,000. His win rate with his "Top Secret" opening strategy hovers just above 51%, proving he’s not into revealing all his secrets too soon. A wink and a sly smile are recommended when facing him—his longest winning streak is an impressive 18 games, and he’s currently riding a hot streak with 3 straight wins.

Dwight’s style? Definitely one who doesn't quit early, with a low early resignation rate (~0.43%) and a preference for the endgame, showing immense stamina and patience (~86.7% endgame frequency). His games tend to be epic battles averaging nearly 74 moves before he clinches a win — or 80 if he loses. Talk about endurance!

Fun fact: Dwight’s resilience shines when the chips are down! His comeback rate is a staggering 92%, and he never loses when down a piece — with a perfect 100% win rate after losing one. So if you think you’ve snagged an advantage, think again!

Psychologically, Dwight keeps his cool with a tilt factor of 14 (low for bullet chess), and enjoys a slight edge when playing rated matches versus casual ones. His preferred battle hours seem to be early mornings and late evenings — guess those are prime brainpower hours for quick moves!

While Dwight mainly racks up bullet wins, he’s dabbled in blitz and rapid with mixed results but hasn’t given up the daily grind either. Across the seven days of the week, Sunday and Friday reign as his strongest days, so watch out if you challenge him then!

Opponents beware!

Dwight has tangled with hundreds of opponents, some repeatedly. His top rivals include luckynumber74 and shiva83, and he boasts a knack for crushing foes like klizz_11 and x-4875105424 with a flawless 100% win rate. Some opponents never stood a chance, while a few hold tasty revenge wins.

We suspect Dwight’s motto is: "Better to make mistakes on the board than in life." So if you want to experience bullet chess at a punishing and surprisingly patient level, challenge DWHITEKNIGHT20 — but beware, he's got moves sharper than a steak knife, and stamina powered by coffee and sheer willpower.
