Meet Egorkin_Dmitry, a chess player whose rating history reads like a rollercoaster at a grandmaster theme park! Dmitрий has mastered the art of fast and furious play, specializing in blitz with a peak rating soaring to an impressive 2673 in May 2025. If chess were a sprint, he'd be Usain Bolt banishing pawns with lightning speed.
Career Highlights
- Blitz battles: Over 4,829 games with 1,540 wins — talk about a warrior! The thrilling drama of his blitz performances is highlighted by a staggering comeback rate of 90.35%. What happens when Dmitрий loses a piece? He's winning almost 40% of those games afterward – resilience is his middle name.
- Bullet and Rapid: Though blitz is his battlefield of choice, Dmitрий hasn’t neglected other formats. His bullet peaked at 2312, and his rapid rating touched 2087.
Style and Strategy
A tenacious tactician, Дмитрий enjoys the long haul — he's no quitter, averaging over 85 moves per win, showing plenty of patience and strategic endurance. His games see over 77% endgames, proving he’s comfortable navigating the final stretch of the battlefield.
When opponents think they have him cornered, Dmitрий’s 15% tilt factor assures us he’s human but not easily rattled. His secret weapon? Playing best around 19:00 hours, where his win rate peaks near 47%. Early resignations are rare; he fights 'til the queen drops!
Opening Preferences
Dmitрий isn’t shy about his openings. He flirts with the Reti Opening Kings Indian Attack with nearly a 50% win rate, but his true masterpiece is the mysterious Unknown Opening brigade — where he’s battled 2853 times, winning over 1100 duels with suave unpredictability.
Memorable Recent Games
In June 2025, playing White as Egorkin_Dmitry, he dished out a beautiful resignation victory against "BaraaDefense" in a thrilling English Opening battle — proving that sometimes the best move is to leave your opponent speechless.
Losses do happen — but Dmitрий treats them as a spicy opening gambit for his next comeback. For instance, his recent defeat to GMArmanKZ was a harsh lesson in the Pterodactyl Defense, reminding us all that even maestros have days off.
The Opponent Chronicles
Дмитрий has tangled with many, with some opponents like deathkni_g_ht and volodymyrmolyboha seeing over 19 games each — a testament to his regular tournament grind. His win rates against these opponents vary, but Dmitрий always keeps them on their toes.
In a Nutshell
If there were an award for Lightning Fast Comebacks combined with Strategic Persistence, Дмитрий Егоркин would be the reigning champion. Whether winning by resignation or outlasting foes in epic endgames, his name is etched in the blitz folklore as a fierce competitor with a cheeky grin and an unyielding knight.
"Chess is 99% tactics," Dmitрий would say—but don't discount his psychological stamina; his games are as much a war of nerves as they are a quest for checkmate.
