Davyd Lucas - The Tactical Trickster of Chess

Meet Davyd Lucas, also known in the chess realm as dzKKKKKK, a player whose tactical flair often tilts the balance on the board—sometimes in his favor, sometimes not so much. With a peak rapid rating of 1800 achieved back in 2021, Davyd has tasted the sweet thrill of victory and the bitter lessons of defeat in varying flavors across all time controls.

His chess journey is a rollercoaster, rising to a solid daily rating high of 1654 by May 2025, only to occasionally wander through rapid dips reminiscent of that time your knight got trapped by a pawn—twice. A persistent soul, Davyd battles through bullet, blitz, and rapid games, racking up over 700 bullet wins and pushing through nearly as many losses—a testament to his relentless fight in the speediest arenas.

Openings? Davyd prefers a mix, but he's got a soft spot for the King's Pawn Opening, especially in bullet games where he boasts a 54% win rate. The Vienna Game and Bishop's Opening have also served him well, delivering respectable win rates well above 60% in some blitz scenarios. However, the Scandinavian Defense seems to be his nemesis, particularly in blitz, where his win rates hover just below 40%. Perhaps the pieces just don't fancy being so exposed!

His longest winning streak is a stunning 15 games—long enough to make opponents wonder if they've accidentally joined a chess boot camp. However, the longest losing streak of 12 serves as a humble reminder that even maestros have their off days.

Davyd's psychological game is interesting: his tilt factor of 12 suggests he sometimes loses his cool faster than a rook under check. Yet, with a comeback rate of 65%, he's as likely as ever to bounce back from setbacks, proving resilience is his middle name.

Noted for an early resignation rate around 7%, Davyd knows when to cut losses—because life’s too short to linger in lost endgames. His average move count per win and loss hover around the mid-40s, indicating he’s neither a bullet blitzer who bursts through games nor a ponderous strategist who plays chess like a snail on a caffeine drip.

Fun fact: his best hour to play is at 9 AM, so perhaps breakfast really is the most important meal before outsmarting your opponent. And if you fancy a game with him, prepare for battles in the King’s Pawn Repertoire — a playground where Davyd’s combination skills and occasional cunning queen forks shine bright.

Recently, in June 2025, Davyd delivered a cheeky Qxf2# checkmate in just 5 moves in a live game—blitzkrieg style! If you blink, you might miss it.

Whether climbing the rating ladder or mastering the epic downswing, Davyd Lucas is a player who brings both passion and a pinch of humor to the battlefield. So next time you see dzKKKKKK on your opponent list, brace yourself—because the game might just end before your second cup of coffee.
