Harold Dominguez (aka harolduran84)
Meet Harold Dominguez, a chess enthusiast whose rating journey is as adventurous as a knight on a quest! Starting strong in 2018 with a Blitz rating of 1261 at his peak and a minuscule 675 at his low, Harold has definitely experienced the rollercoaster thrills of the chessboard. His Blitz performance tells a tale of relentless persistence, bouncing between highs and lows like a hyperactive pawn on the run.
Harold doesn’t discriminate by time control: his Rapid and Daily ratings comfortably hover around the 800–1100 range, showing he’s just as good sipping coffee while plotting moves over days as he is in fast-paced Blitz battles. Bullet? Well, that’s a different story—Harold’s bullet rating dips down a bit, maybe because he’s still figuring out how to make lightning-fast moves without getting tangled in time pressure.
Playing Style & Personality
Known for his tenacity, Harold’s comeback rate is an impressive 79%, demonstrating the heart of a true fighter who never throws in the towel (even if the queen’s threatened). His average moves per win sit around 64 — clearly, he's not one for quick draws or flashy sacrifices. Harold takes his time, even if it means occasionally resigning early (1.64% of the time), because nobody likes dragging out a lost cause.
With White, Harold enjoys a modestly better winning chance (51.1%) than Black (46%), perhaps proving that first-move advantage really does matter—or maybe he just prefers being a grandmaster of the opening. He’s got a tilt factor of 12, which means yes, sometimes his emotions get involved, but hey, who doesn’t get a little salty after a brutal gambit gone wrong?
