Tom Lefebvre - aka Ambraezi0

Meet Tom Lefebvre, a chess player whose online handle, Ambraezi0, strikes as memorably mysterious as some of his opening choices. Tom’s journey through the 64 squares in 2025 paints the picture of a dedicated thinker and a brave tactician, equally comfortable in rapid fire battles and thoughtful daily duels.

Rating Odyssey

Tom's chess rating story is a rollercoaster of ups and downs typical for a passionate player honing their craft. His Daily chess peak reached a solid 557 in April, showing graceful control with a perfect unbeaten streak in those 2 matches. Over in the Rapid and Blitz arenas, Tom showcased some variability but also remarkable resilience:

• Rapid peaked at 580, proving Tom can handle the pressure cooker when time gets tight.
• Blitz maxed at 397 after a significant volley of 46 games, battling through wins and losses.
• Bullet chess? Tom's got a respectable 353 peak rating, though with room to speed up even more.

With a record spanning over 90 wins below his rating band and a gritty 21.88% against stronger opponents, Tom is no pushover. His longest winning streak of 14 games might have him feeling unstoppable; meanwhile, a losing streak capped at 5 reminds us even the best stumble.

Playing Style & Psychological Profile

Tom's style reveals a chess player who prefers long, strategic battles averaging about 55 moves per victory. Endgame wizardry is his comfort zone, featuring in over half his matches. Early resignation is rare (8%), indicating tenacity, although those occasional tilts (rated at 5) show there’s a human beneath the hood.

Psychological buffs, take note: Tom's brain lights up best around 10 AM, rocking a 100% win rate then, and he’s particularly snappy in evening hours like 9 PM, boasting a whopping 71.43% success rate—perfect for night owls craving checkmate thrills.

Favorite Openings and Tactical Prowess

Tom loves to surprise. In Daily chess, he’s unbeaten with Queen's Pawn openings like the Queens Pawn Opening and the somewhat exotic Mikenas Defense. Rapid games show his fondness for aggressive lines such as the Mikenas Defense and the Center Game Accepted, boasting win rates of 75% and even 100% in some openings.

He experiments broadly in Blitz too, with the Queen’s Pawn Horwitz Defense shining at a flawless 100% win rate — he might just have that one in his back pocket when the clock runs dangerously low.

Recent Battles

Tom’s latest victory against bill3sestry was a testament to his strategic patience and tactical awareness, culminating in a victory by game abandonment after relentless pressure in the Center Game Accepted (Normal Variation). Even in defeat, Tom never loses style points; his most recent loss to rayan-qasim was high drama ending in a checkmate—a tough lesson but all part of the grind.

Opponent Insights & Win Rates

Tom seems to have nemeses and fans alike. While he has a 100% record against players like liliamsi55 and lamouille0409, some opponents like bryce3112 and vvvzzzsss have given him more headaches than wins.

In Summary

Tom Lefebvre is not just a player who pushes pawns and trades pieces; he's a spirited competitor with a love for complex openings, a penchant for long games, and a knack for bouncing back after setbacks. Whether it's a quick bullet or a thoughtful daily match, expect Tom to fight for every square—and maybe humor you with a witty comment if you lose to one of his clever traps.
