Danh Nguyễn Văn: The Chess Warrior with a Secret Opening
Danh Nguyễn Văn, also known in the chess circles as thosanquyba01, is a player who boldly embraces the unpredictable nature of the game. With a passion for the Top Secret opening in both Rapid and Blitz formats, Danh might not be topping leaderboards just yet, but his games are always full of surprises.
In 2024, Danh’s rating journey read like a rollercoaster ride: a Blitz rating peaking at 1316 and a Rapid peak of 668. Though his win-to-loss ratio might not intimidate grandmasters (with only 3 wins across 17 games), his resilience stands out—bouncing back with a commendable 33% comeback rate and a flawless 100% win rate after losing a piece (because who needs all their pieces anyway?).
Playing with white pieces, Danh secures victory nearly 29% of the time, whereas playing black is a humbler affair with a 10% win rate, proving that chess is truly a game of colors and mood. His games tend to stretch on, averaging around 40 moves, showcasing patience and deep tactical thinking—or perhaps a fondness for dramatic hugs and handshakes at the end.
When not on the board, Danh battles psychological tilt with a factor of 9—strong enough to make post-game coffee essential, but not enough to quit the game. His early resignations are kept low at 14%, indicating a fighter’s spirit and refusal to give up without a worthy struggle.
Whether facing frequent rivals like zellzaibao or newer challengers such as tuanminh150812, Danh remains a player to watch, with quirky style and surprising tactical flare. Keep an eye on him—your next game might be his breakthrough!
