Дмитрий Солонков - The FIDE Master with a Blitz Flair

Дмитрий Солонков, also known online as sdv_013, is a FIDE Master whose chess journey reads like a rollercoaster — except with pawns. Starting out at a modest blitz rating of 1376 in early 2018, Дмитрий quickly escalated into the 2600+ club by mid-2025. That’s not just talented; that’s someone who probably dreams about forks and skewers!

Rating & Style Highlights

• Peak Blitz Rating: 2626 (May 2025) — Now that’s fast, furious, and frankly intimidating.
• Peak Bullet Rating: 1783 (Nov 2019) — Rapid-fire moves with a dash of precision.
• Peak Rapid Rating: 2450 (May 2020) — When the clock slows, Дмитрий’s brain only speeds up.

Known for his endurance and tactical tenacity, Дмитрий has an 85.68% comeback rate — meaning if you think you've won, think again. His games average around 77 moves per victory, indicating he enjoys a good marathon rather than a quick blitzkrieg.

Favorite Openings and Performance

While the "Top Secret" opening strategy (whatever that might be!) nets him a solid 51.82% win rate in Blitz across over 1000 games, he shows a love for classical chess with a cracker of a 76% win rate playing the Caro-Kann Defense Advance Tal Variation. He’s obviously a fan of named variations — it’s almost like each game is the next chapter of a saga.

Mood Meters and Psychological Quirks

Дмитрий’s tilt factor is a mere 10; he’s not one to throw a tantrum after a blunder. His best time of day is oddly at 22:00, suggesting that the witching hour isn’t just for ghosts but also for grand tactical knockouts.

Record & Rivalries

In his blitz career alone, Дмитрий has amassed 867 wins, 844 losses, and 132 draws, showing a competitive spirit that never quits. He’s battled opponents like arinairkitova13 (winning nearly 90% of their encounters) and has no shame in repeatedly facing tough rivals.

Recent Adventures on the Board

A glimpse at Дмитрий’s recent triumph shows deep strategic layers and gritty determination. In a 2025 blitz game against ajedrez_clasico4all, Дмитрий sealed victory by resignation after squeezing out advantages from the Sicilian Defense - Kan Variation. And when the times get tough, he sometimes falls, like in a tense battle against chesslwj where even the French Defense Winawer couldn’t save him from checking the ultimate king of defeat — resignation.

Final Thoughts

Dmitрий Солонков is no stranger to the battlefield of 64 squares, wielding his pieces like a grandmaster storyteller spins an epic tale. Whether blitzing with breathtaking pace or enduring a strategic slow dance, he’s a player to watch — or better, to challenge (with caution). Just remember: when Дмитрий is on the clock, every second counts and every move could be your last.
