Profile: Muhammad Rangga AndianTomo (aka atabungas)
Meet Muhammad Rangga AndianTomo, better known in the digital chess circles as atabungas — a quick thinker, strategic risk-taker, and intriguingly consistent underdog with a flair for clawing victories out of seemingly impossible positions. While his chess journey officially kicked off with a modest Rapid rating of 340 in 2023, Rangga has been grinding ever since, reaching a personal peak Rapid rating of nearly 600 by 2025. That’s like going from a humble pawn to a queen in the blink of an eye, or at least over a couple of hundred games.
Playing Style & Strategy
With an early resignation rate of just over 6%, Rangga prefers fighting till the bitter end — and it pays off, considering his comeback rate hovers near 50%, and he maintains a perfect 100% win rate after losing a piece. We’re talking about a player who knows how to turn lemons into a tactical lemonade stand (or better, a checkmate feast).
His weapon of choice? The King’s Pawn Opening – King’s Knight Variation shines bright as his best-performing Rapid opening with a 75% win rate. Whether it’s outmaneuvering opponents with Scandinavian Defense in Blitz (63.6% win rate) or blitzing through Bullet games rocking the King’s Pawn Opening (77.8% win rate), Rangga adapts and conquers.
Stats Highlights
- Rapid: 185 games in 2025, 80 wins & 100 losses, proving he’s not afraid to battle fiercely.
- Blitz: 132 games with 61 wins, showing agility but also a discerning taste for when to kiss defeat goodbye.
- Bullet: With 111 games and 52 wins, he’s like a chess ninja—fast, sharp, and occasionally leaving opponents wondering what just hit them.
Opponent Chronicles
Rangga’s win rate against some opponents is borderline legendary — a flawless 100% record against user maryluz812, donyoroviche, and several others. Conversely, some adversaries see him as their toughest nut to crack, like fabloes where victory proved elusive.
The Mental Game
With a tilt factor of 8, Rangga is human enough to occasionally feel the sting of defeat but seasoned enough to keep playing strong the next round — a trait any sports psychologist would toast.
