chess_tunes - The FIDE Master with a Sonic Boom

Meet chess_tunes, a FIDE Master whose game rhythm is as catchy as their username suggests. Known for their tactical awareness and love of lengthy endgames, they average over 78 moves per win - clearly not the type to give up early, and definitely in it for the long haul. With an impressive peak blitz rating soaring to 2753 in October 2022 and a bullet peak of 2662 just a month prior, chess_tunes has proven to be a formidable force on the lightning-quick formats.

Blitz & Bullet Wizardry

With a total of 369 blitz games and 258 bullet games recorded in the last couple of years, chess_tunes keeps the board buzzing. They boast a blitz win rate slightly above 50%, managing some epic streaks such as a longest winning streak of 7 games and surviving engines with a comeback rate nearing 91%. Bullet games have their ups and downs with an almost even win-loss balance, making every match edge-of-the-seat exciting.

Playing Style: Endgame Connoisseur

Far from a quick resign-er (early resign rate: 0%), chess_tunes is the kind of player who dances deep into endgames, playing nearly 81% of their games to this stage. Whether playing White or Black, they exhibit a healthy win rate (53% with White and 44% from Black), showing flexibility and resilience. Beware if you lose a piece – chess_tunes still keeps fighting, winning almost half the time after such setbacks.

Psychological Profile & Quirks

Chess_tunes’ tilt factor is low at 8, which means they keep their cool when the pressure builds, although a current losing streak of 3 hints that even masters have their off days. Interestingly, they perform best at the crack of dawn (8 AM), proving the early bird does indeed catch the chess worm!

Signature Moves & Opponents

Their opening moves remain a top secret, with a solid roughly 50% win rate against challengers in both blitz and bullet. Some opponents have had the dubious honor of frequent rematches, including "never_walk_alone" and "renzogm", although chess_tunes has had mixed success there. But legendary crushing victories await against players like "paddee" and "takate20", against whom chess_tunes registered a perfect 100% win rate. Opponents beware!

Memorable Recent Games

One of chess_tunes’ latest blitz triumphs against "allexo" showcased sharp strategic play in the Reti Opening, resulting in a win on time after a thrilling exchange battle.
Not every game is victory though: In April 2024, chess_tunes fell to "phelathegreat" in a gritty Nimzo-Indian Defense encounter, reminding us that even the best have to learn from losses.

The Soundtrack to Victory

Whether it's blitz, bullet, or classic formats, chess_tunes plays chess like a symphony – sometimes a delicate arrangement, sometimes a furious crescendo. So keep an ear out, the music is getting louder, and the tunes just might checkmate you before you even realize.
