Dimitri Reinderman GM

Dimitri Reinderman: The King of Convenience

Known in the chess cosmos as KingOfConvenience, Dimitri Reinderman is a Grandmaster who has mastered the delicate art of blitz warfare on the 64-square battlefield. With a crown from FIDE and a penchant for rapid-fire tactical strikes, Dimitri blends speed, strategy, and just the right touch of psychological chess ninja.

Dimitri’s blitz rating has flown through the ranks, hitting a peak of 2705 in September 2024—a rating so formidable it could make even the toughest pawns tremble in their boots. His bullet games, while fewer (and slower than his blitz frenzy), boast an almost perfect 100% win rate across 2 games. Clearly, when it comes to bullet, he's less "bullet train" and more "bullet sniper."

With a lengthy career punctuated by a longest winning streak of 14 games and a current run of 4 wins, Dimitri shows resilience and flair. His style is anything but passive: he embraces the endgame with an 85.7% frequency, and his average winning game spans a marathon 78 moves, proving he’s in it for the mental marathon, not just the sprint.

Dimitri's most lethal opening? A closely guarded secret—aptly codenamed "Top Secret"—yielding an impressive win rate of 72.22% over 54 blitz games. Opponents beware: even the best find it hard to crack his sealed vault of opening strategy.

His psychological fortitude is notable, too. Against adversity, Dimitri bounces back with an impressive 80.5% comeback rate and wins 70.21% of games even after losing a piece. Talk about turning a blunder into a battlefield advantage. And don’t call it a tilt—his tilt factor rests modestly at 4, proving he keeps his cool as calmly as a bishop slides on ice.

Dimitri's recent victories are testament to his greatness, including a commanding win in September 2024 where he outmaneuvered a 2607-rated opponent in a Benoni Defense battle, claiming victory by resignation and online glory. And when he loses? Well, it’s usually against players who crack his top secret defense or when he’s caught napping in 2015, reminding everyone even Grandmasters are human.

Off the digital board, Dimitri might be plotting his next cunning gambit or perhaps enjoying some well-earned chess-themed coffee. Either way, Dimitri Reinderman remains a luminary of speed chess, a tactician who plays fast but thinks faster — proving sometimes, the best convenience is a winning convenience.
