Dirk Sebastian - International Master of Chess

Meet Dirk Sebastian, a chess maestro who proudly holds the esteemed title of International Master awarded by FIDE. With a flair for lightning-fast calculations and a penchant for thrilling battles, Dirk has made a name for themselves especially in the blitz and bullet arenas.

Dirk’s blitz rating soared over the years, breaking barriers from the mid-1900s in 2017 to an impressive peak of 2747 in 2024. Their bullet performance is equally electrifying, reaching a maximum of 2763. Clearly, the faster the clock ticks, the sharper Dirk’s moves become!

With over 1,700 blitz games and nearly a 56% win rate in these high-speed showdowns, Dirk demonstrates not only endurance but also precision. In bullet chess, Dirk shocks opponents with a win rate exceeding 60%. Rapid chess might not be their favorite dance, though—Dirk has only a handful of recorded rapid games, where victories prove elusive. Maybe they just prefer to leave their opponents breathless before the 60-second mark.

Known for an early resignation rate under 1% and an endgame frequency around 81%, Dirk battles fiercely until the very end—there’s no quitting when the going gets tough. Their average game lasts around 77 moves, showing a patient and strategic mind at work.

Tough as a knight’s armor, Dirk boasts a tactical comeback rate of almost 89% and a 100% win rate after losing a piece—because who needs pawns when you have style? Their longest winning streak of 11 games is evidence of their formidable form, though it seems the current streak is on pause, perhaps plotting their next attack.

Psychologically, Dirk shows a tilt factor of 7, meaning the occasional frustrated move does sneak in; after all, even grandmasters aren’t immune to a bad day. However, their rated games vs. casual encounters reveal they bring their absolute best when it truly counts, dominating opponents by over 55% on average.

Whether playing white with a near 57% win rate or commanding the black pieces at close to 54%, Dirk’s style favors endurance and cunning. Opponents beware: with a calculated average move tally almost identical in wins and losses, every game is a marathon where mental toughness wins the day.

Off the board, Dirk’s list of opponents reads like a constellation of chess personalities, from jamythesaint (a perfect 100% win rate over them) to the more challenging egilstoft1992 who remains undefeated in their encounters with Dirk. Dirk’s resilience and adaptability shine brightest in these rivalries.

In sum, Dirk Sebastian is a chess warrior with lightning reflexes, a chessboard tactician, and an adversary you’ll want to avoid waking up on the wrong side of the 64 squares. If speed chess had a superhero, it would be Dirk—ready to strike before you finish your coffee.
