Long Đinh (username: inhlongnd)
Meet Long Đinh, a fearless chess adventurer currently traversing the 1200 rating wilderness in Daily chess. Armed with a Bullet rating peaking at 848 and a Blitz top score of 1034, Long has bravely battled across many time controls—sometimes emerging victorious, other times learning the art of graceful defeat (mostly the latter, but who's counting?).
With 27 quick-fire Bullet games under their belt, Long's style can best be described as “ambitious and occasionally audacious.” This is evidenced by a bullet win rate hovering around 26%, and a patience-worthy average of 40 moves per win, showing that when the stars align, Long knows how to seize the moment. Unfortunately, the elusive winning streak remains modest, maxing out at 2 games, while the longest losing streak reached a testing 11 games—but hey, true grit comes through persistence!
Long's opening preferences tell an eclectic story: from fearlessly tackling the aggressive Englund Gambit and the vintage Queens Pawn Opening Zukertort Variation (a perfect 2-for-2 there!), to experimenting with the less-traveled Van t Kruijs Opening. While some openings have provided more smiles than wins, Long knows that chess is as much about the journey as the scoreboard.
Highlights include recent thrills like that triumphant Bullet game against luisgarcia7731 where razor-sharp tactics and a fiery time pressure finish sealed victory. Not to be overshadowed by defeats to formidable adversaries like papabearleo, Long’s come-back rate after losing a piece is a robust 85.7%—definitely the spirit of a relentless fighter.
Beyond raw numbers, Long's psychological resilience shines with a surprisingly low tilt factor of 11 and a knack for early mornings, dominating play best at 4 AM (when the world sleeps but Long plays!). That occasional early resignation is probably a strategic step to preserve energy for the next attempt—true wisdom or just impatience? Chess mystery.
All told, Long Đinh is a passionate player with an evolving style, a taste for dynamic openings, and the unmistakable heart of a competitor who takes the game seriously, but never too seriously to forget the fun.
