Dušan Vyoral

Profile Summary: Dušan Vyoral

Dušan Vyoral, affectionately known in the chess world as "invalida," is a dedicated rapid chess enthusiast whose journey is a rollercoaster ride through the ranks. With a peak rapid rating near 1500 in 2021, Dušan has shown resilience and persistence, playing over 4,600 rapid games with an almost perfectly balanced win-loss record, narrowly leaning towards the dark side with 2,192 wins to 2,206 losses and 234 draws.

Specializing in tried-and-true openings like the Italian Game and Scotch Game, Dušan often dances gracefully—or sometimes awkwardly—through these classic lines, achieving a respectable win rate in the high 40s to mid-50s. His preferred battleground is the rapid format, where his average game length hovers around an impressive 65 moves per game, meaning he’s as patient as a saint, or at least someone who likes long walks on the chessboard.

Dušan also exhibits a notable comeback rate of over 75%, proving he's not one to surrender quietly; when the chips are down, he rallies with the spirit of a true competitor. Though he occasionally suffers from a tilt factor of 11 (chess is emotional, after all), his favorite playing hours—around 3 PM—seem to be when his mind is sharpest and strategy clearest.

Outside the battlefield, Dušan's tactical awareness is evident in his careful approach to endgames, engaging in them in over 65% of his matches. Early resignations are a rare sight with him, clocking in at under 2%, which hints that he fights hard until the bitter end—or until his opponent blunders a piece.

His recent games reinforce a versatile and adaptive style: Victories by resignation, abandoned games, and a classic resignation loss or two pepper his timeline. His game archive reveals a readiness to engage in complex and sharp lines like the Pirc Defense and the Bishop’s Opening, showing a fondness for both strategic depth and tactical skirmishes.

Whether Dušan's opponent finds themselves facing the "Top Secret" opening or the time-tested Italian Game, they can expect a thorough battle, a pinch of unpredictability, and a dash of endurance. And if you're lucky enough to meet him over the chessboard around 15:00, better bring your A-game — he's at his prime then!

Fun fact: Dušan’s longest winning streak stands at a solid 13 games, meaning if he ever gets on a roll, better sit tight and try not to get checkmated!

In short, Dušan Vyoral is the friendly neighborhood rapid player who battles fiercely, enjoys classic openings, rarely gives up early, and keeps improving with every move (and occasional game loss). Here’s wishing him many more winning streaks—and fewer tilt moments—in the years ahead!
