D English (aka Engrishh) – Chess Player Profile

While the Bullet and Blitz scores aren't exactly setting the world on fire (214 and 665 peak respectively), D English has a reputation for methodical, strategic battles, embracing the slower tempos and savoring the endgames—because sometimes slow and steady really does win the race. Their style features an impressive 73.9% comeback rate, which means don’t count Engrishh out just because they lose a piece—there’s hope yet!
