Tunahan Çimen

aka AnkaraBeyi

Tunahan Çimen, fondly known in the chess corridors as AnkaraBeyi, is a passionate strategist with a flair for dramatic comebacks and a tendency to keep his opponents guessing. Starting from a humble rating of 222 in rapid chess in 2024, Tunahan swiftly climbed the ranks to reach a peak rapid rating of 921 in 2025, proving that persistence beats mere talent most of the time.

With over 3,900 rapid games under his belt, Tunahan boasts nearly an even win-loss record (+16 overall wins), a testament to his iron will and a chessboard mindset that doesn't quit easily. In fact, his "comeback rate" is a staggering 70.59%, and he's undefeated when it comes to winning games after losing a piece—because giving up is just not in his dictionary (nor is it in the chess rulebook!). His longest winning streak is a gutsy 9 games, but he sometimes takes a break from winning streaks to keep everyone on their toes.

His style is contemplative; averaging nearly 62 moves per win and pushing games to more than 75 moves even in losses. That means Tunahan enjoys the thrill of late-game battles and is not one to resign early—his early resignation rate is a mere 1.62%, proving he's there for the long haul. Whether wielding the white pieces with a respectable 48% win rate or the black pieces holding firm at 45%, he’s a tough opponent anytime.

Off the board, Tunahan seems to have a peculiar hour preference—he has a perfect 100% win rate during the 3 AM hour, possibly suggesting he’s a night owl or maybe just a chess vampire. He’s also quite the morning warrior with solid performances at 4 AM and 7 AM. Weekdays see him playing with nearly equal success rates, and Sundays appear to be his lucky day with nearly 49% wins.

Tunahan’s opening repertoire is so secret that it seems even he isn’t quite sure what he’s playing – labeled as "Top Secret" with thousands of games. But beware, because behind that mystery lurks an opponent who has celebrated victory against a spectacular array of challengers, with a win rate often around 47% overall.

When facing opponents, Tunahan has some rivalry quirks: he wins 100% of the time against saywhat666 and justachillguybro, but unfortunately has never tasted victory against khoftuk or hw5j. It’s all part of the drama that makes chess so entertaining!

And psychologically, even though his "tilt factor" is a modest 13 (so he’s only mildly dramatic when things go south), his determination sees him bounce back stronger and smarter. After all, a difference of nearly 47% between rated and casual game wins suggests that when the stakes are high, AnkaraBeyi thrives.

To sum up: Tunahan Çimen is a resilient, strategic player with secretive openings, a penchant for long, thoughtful games, and the heart of a lion ready to claw back from any crisis on the chessboard. Chess isn’t just a game for him—it’s a lifestyle, a late-night thrill, and sometimes, a 3 AM masterpiece.
