Hùng Dũng Đinh Vạn - The Calculating Tactician

Known online as hungdung209, Hùng Dũng Đinh Vạn is a rising chess enthusiast who approaches the 64 squares with a mix of strategic patience and a pinch of flair — kind of like a quiet storm brewing a tactical thunderbolt.

Rating Highlights

• Rapid: Peaked at 511 in May 2025, with an impressive overall win rate of about 62% (20 wins out of 33 games).
• Bullet: Fast and furious, Hùng Dũng reached a blistering rating of 669 in April 2025, winning just over half of his matches.
• Blitz: Only dipped a toe in Blitz waters, but with a perfect 100% win record from a single game at 707 rating — talk about making a statement with minimal effort!

Playing Style & Psychology

With no early resignations (because why quit when you can fight?), Hùng Dũng plays an average of about 47 moves per win, showcasing endurance and an affinity for endgames, occurring in more than half of his games. His comeback rate is a whopping 69.6%, proving he is not one to wave the white flag easily.

Psychologically, he’s steady with a tilt factor of 5 — just enough frustration to keep the fire alive, but not enough to derail his progress. The best time to catch him playing at his peak? 11 AM — so maybe set that morning alarm if you want a shot at him!

Favorite Openings

One opening to watch out for is the Van't Kruijs Opening, where he sports a cool ~67% success rate in Rapid and slightly above 50% in Bullet — it seems to be his sweet spot for launching cunning attacks.

He also dabbles effectively in various French Defense variations and even sneaks in surprise wins with the Nimzowitsch Larsen Attack and Reti Opening Quiet System, showing his versatility.

Recent Memorable Battles

At the latest Live Chess events in May 2025, hungdung209 claimed a dramatic checkmate victory over ljw72 — a classic example of patience paying off with a queen checkmate after a graceful dance across the board. Another highlight was a resignation win from pinkyjay31, achieved with the tried-and-true Van't Kruijs Opening, proving it’s no mere fancy name.

Of course, like all mortals, he’s faced setbacks, such as a tough checkmate loss to mael241074 after a strategic tussle dominated by French Defense lines.

Opponent Relations & Rivalries

Some opponents get the best of him (sorry mael241074, abood_909, and prashant131265), while others like pinkyjay31 and ljw72 have tasted defeat at his hands every time.

Final Thoughts

Whether blitzing past foes in a single battle or grinding through a marathon in rapid, hungdung209 brings a strategic mindset blended with dogged resilience. If chess were a game of poker, he’d be the player who bluffs rarely but folds never. Challenging, fun to watch, and always ready to come back swinging.
