Dawid Szot – A Chess Journey with a Twist
Meet Dawid Szot, also known in the chess realms as Szotu92, a player whose strategic adventures on the 64 squares are as intriguing as a mystery novel. With a steady climb in Rapid ratings from a humble 543 in 2023 to a respectable 729 in 2025, Dawid’s journey is one of perseverance and a sprinkle of unpredictability.
Dawid's playstyle balances patience and flair — averaging around 56 moves per win, proving that he's not a fan of quick skirmishes but rather enjoys long, thoughtful battles. Incidentally, his opponents might want to watch out: his comeback rate is a whopping 60.49%, and if he loses a piece, he somehow manages to win 100% of those games. If that’s not chess magic, what is?
Despite a tilt factor of 8 (he admits losing isn’t always fun), Dawid keeps his cool most of the time, boasting a strong win rate with the white pieces at 53%. Interestingly, his black pieces are a bit less lucky, hinting that he might still be working on his evil sorcerer opening.
Tackling Rapid, Blitz, and the occasionally terrifying Bullet formats, Dawid shows versatility, though Rapid is clearly his comfort zone. With over 389 wins in Rapid games and a peak Blitz rating of 911, he’s no slouch when the clock speeds up — just don’t expect him to blitz out a move without a second thought!
When it comes to psychology, Dawid’s rated vs casual win difference of nearly 50% hints that even casual games are a battlefield where legends are made — or lost. His playing schedule also reveals some surprises: he’s a night owl with peak win performance around 11 PM (59.31% win rate), but better watch out for his mid-afternoon games, which are a touch less successful.
Off the board, Dawid is probably pondering his next ingenious combination... or maybe just where he left his coffee mug after a long tactical tussle. Whatever it is, with a longest winning streak of 6 and a passion for the game, Szotu92 is a player who proves that chess isn’t just about the pieces, but the stories you create with them.
