Thanadon Kulpruethanon - The FIDE Master with a Secret Opening
Meet Thanadon Kulpruethanon, also known in the chess cosmos as bank2010, a player whose secret weapon isn’t just clever moves, but a very mysterious “Top Secret” opening that’s been baffling opponents across all time controls for years. Awarded the prestigious title of FIDE Master, Thanadon’s chess journey is a rollercoaster of epic wins, tactical wizardry, and an almost magical comeback rate (hold your breath!) of 82.5%.
Starting from a humble rating of 1200 in daily chess back in 2012, Thanadon quickly ascended through the ranks, smashing ratings beyond 2700 in bullet chess, reaching a blistering peak of 2752 in 2024. Blitz? Check. Rapid? Check. Bullet? Double check. With over a thousand wins in blitz alone, Thanadon is as comfortable in a three-minute frenzy as in a long, thoughtful rapid game.
What drives this player? Well, an iron-clad Endgame Frequency at nearly 68% means Thanadon enjoys long battles that test patience and precision. Early resignation? Barely a blip at 2.35% — tough to rattle this master! In fact, after losing a piece, Thanadon’s win rate is a staggering 99.94%, proof that giving up is simply not in their vocabulary.
If you think the game happens on the chessboard alone, think again. Thanadon’s psychological resilience is both admirable and entertaining: a Tilt Factor of 13 means moments of frustration are real, but the player bounces back quickly from setbacks. And if timing is everything, it appears Thanadon shines brightest at 1 AM, boasting a sparkling 78.12% win rate. Late night chess marathons, anyone?
This player’s most brutal winning streak? A whopping 28 games in a row — enough to make a chess engine break a sweat. Thanadon’s favorite regular competitors include “vialsisters” and “axolotlplayschessss,” though their win rates against various opponents range from charmingly merciful to fierce domination.
Whether you’re a fellow chess enthusiast looking to study their games, or just here for a chuckle, Thanadon Kulpruethanon proves that chess isn’t just about moves; it’s a dazzling blend of strategy, endurance, and a little bit of late-night magic.
