Dev So: The Queen of Polish Openings and Tactical Triumphs
Meet Dev So, a chess player whose rating evolution is as dynamic as a thrilling game of blitz. Sparking a renaissance on the 64 squares since 2021, Dev has shown that their game is anything but dormant – more like a lively cell constantly dividing and evolving toward strategic greatness!
Rating Evolution & Style
From a Blitz rating of 708 in 2021, Dev’s rating blossomed, peaking above 1100 in recent years, with Rapid ratings soaring up to 1287, proving they have an endgame as strong as the mitochondria powering a living cell. Bullet rating hovers around 750, suggesting fast reflexes and a quick metabolism on the chessboard.
Dev’s playing style is textbook adaptive: an average of 54 moves per win indicates patience and perseverance akin to a cell completing mitosis, while a tidy early resignation rate of 5.33% shows they know when to fold 'em—no point in wasting valuable ATP, I mean, time.
Signature Move
The Polish Opening seems to be Dev’s favorite genetic marker—over 1400 Blitz games with a win rate just above 53% shows a reliable strategy that has been thoroughly replicated and perfected. In Bullet and Rapid formats, the Polish Opening yields even higher win rates, up to 62%! It's almost like this opening is Dev’s 'DNA' on the board, carrying the blueprint to victory.
Not to be overshadowed, clever gambits like the Kucharkowski Meybohm Gambit boast a blush-worthy 69% win rate in Blitz – truly a mutagenic twist shaking up opponents' defenses.
Tactical Prowess & Psychology
Dev’s comeback rate is a staggering 68.84%, exemplifying remarkable resilience—a biological “phoenix cell” that thrives against adversity. Not losing a single game after losing a piece? Dev's tactical awareness is nothing less than cellular-level precision!
Psychological tilt is kept low at 10/100, indicating a temperament steady as a neuron firing at just the right moment. With consistent win percentages across weekdays and hours—peak performance at 10 AM boasting a 62.75% win rate—Dev knows exactly when to unleash their inner chess beast.
Records & Reputation
Having played nearly 10,000 games since 2021, Dev holds solid win-to-loss ratios across all main formats: 1990 wins to 1921 losses in Blitz, 830 to 802 in Bullet, and 647 to 581 in Rapid. Like a hardy organism, Dev thrives in many environments and persists.
With matches against a vibrant ecosystem of opponents (from narwhal314 to 00akt), Dev enjoys strong dominance, often winning 100% against several foes and managing to keep losses minimal.
