Starting strong in 2021 with a peak rapid rating of 601, Toby’s journey has been anything but a straight line, featuring a few ups, downs, and sideways shimmying that make rollercoasters jealous.
Playing Style & Personality
With an endgame frequency exceeding 77%, Toby clearly enjoys the long haul, grinding out positions where patience can prevail. His average winning game lasts about 82 moves, which might explain why some opponents fall asleep mid-battle — a sneaky psychological tactic or just a complex plan? You decide. He has a modest early resignation rate of 6.25%, indicating he’s not afraid to throw in the towel when the board says “nope.”
Interestingly, Toby shines brightest around 6 PM, boasting a 100% win rate in the evening hours and on Fridays. Workweek woes? Not for this chess warrior, who also has a surprisingly sharp comeback rate of 80%, proving he fights ferociously even after losing material.
Performance Highlights
- Total rapid games played: 35+
- Wins: 5, Losses: 16, Draws: 1 – A record that humbly suggests there's always room for improvement.
- Favorite opening? The mysterious “Top Secret” (22 games, 5 wins) – or maybe he just likes keeping his rivals guessing.
- His longest losing streak: 5 games, showing that even the best have rough patches.
- Moves per win average is 82.2, making Toby less a sprinter and more a marathoner on the checkered battlefield.
Memorable Victories
One recent win showcased Toby’s knack for thrilling finishes, concluding with a checkmate after a nail-biting 79-move duel against a clever opponent, “QueKah.” This victory wasn’t snatched lightly; it was the result of hours of positional play, tactical skirmishes, and the occasional hopeful blunder by his foe.
Opponent Records & Quirks
Toby has some frustrating trends, especially against his most-played rival garnacho49l, to whom he is yet to secure a single win in six attempts. But hey, every hero has their nemesis! On the flip side, he has a perfect win rate against a few lesser-known adversaries, proving that no matter the challenges, Toby stays ready to pounce.
Psychologically, Toby’s tilt factor is low, about 5, meaning he generally keeps his cool — except maybe when the knight jumps awkwardly.
In Summary

Whether outmaneuvering an opponent or enduring a five-game loss streak, his journey reminds us all that chess is not just a game of kings, but of enduring spirit and chessboard comedy.
So keep an eye on Brute_sniper — possibly plotting his next secret opening or quietly training for that elusive winning streak.
Feedback for Toby Anderson
Hi Toby! Here’s some constructive feedback based on your recent games to help you improve your chess skills:
Strengths
- Aggressive Playstyle: You demonstrated strong attacking instincts in several games, sacrificing material for initiative and pressing hard on your opponent’s weaknesses.

- Tactical Awareness: You found some sharp tactics like forks and pins that won material. Continue to practice tactics regularly to maintain sharpness.
Areas to Improve
- Opening Repertoire: Some of your losses stemmed from critical early mistakes in the opening, such as neglecting development or allowing counterplay. Studying key opening principles and a few solid opening lines can give you a better foundation.
- King Safety: In a handful of games, your king was vulnerable due to premature weakening of the pawn structure or lack of timely castling. Prioritize king safety during the opening and early middlegame.
- Positional Understanding: Occasionally, you missed opportunities to improve piece placement or control important squares, which allowed opponents to seize the initiative. Focus on concepts like pawn structure, piece activity, and controlling the center.
- Calculation and Time Management: Some inaccuracies happened in critical positions. Try to balance your thinking time well, giving more attention to complex moments without falling into time trouble.
