" PROFESSOR "

Meet PROFESSOR, aka Dr_Tokyo

In the labyrinthine world of online chess, where tactics clash and pawns fall like autumn leaves, one name commands both respect and mild bewilderment: PROFESSOR, also known by the cryptic tag Dr_Tokyo.

Rating Rollercoaster & Numbers That Matter

Starting his rapid climb from a humble 179 rating in early 2024, PROFESSOR has metamorphosed into a blitzkrieg maestro, peaking impressively at Rapid: 848, Bullet: 815, Blitz: 777, and an eyebrow-raising Daily: 1098 by mid-2025.

With over 600 rapid games under his belt, and a near even split of wins and losses, he’s a fighter who’s not afraid to take risks—losing roughly as often as he wins, but always keeping the crowd entertained.

Opening Repertoire & Strategic Prowess

PROFESSOR’s opening arsenal is as eclectic as a mad scientist's lab:

• King's Pawn Opening is his trusty sidekick with a solid ~47% win rate in rapid games.
• For those who like a Vienna twist, "Vienna Game" and its variations bring him a respectable 55%+ win rate—classic and classy!
• He dances with the Scandinavian Defense too, boasting up to 60.87% success in rapid, proving the cold north isn’t so frosty after all.
• On bullet, he’s a fearless adventurer, scoring an incredible 75% win rate with sharp weapons like the Englund Gambit and Van 't Kruijs Opening—even if most mere mortals flee from those wild lines.

Playing Style: The Mind of a Professor

With an average of 61 moves per win and over 67% of his games reaching the endgame, PROFESSOR is patient, methodical, and capable of grinding down opponents with finesse.

His comeback rate rocks at a staggering 76%, demonstrating an uncanny ability to turn the tables after setbacks—because quitting early is not in his syllabus (only a 2.47% early resignation rate!).

White pieces? He’s slightly better with them (~51% wins). Black pieces? A respectable ~47% win rate. He’s equally comfortable playing both sides of the board, proving versatility is the name of his game.

Psychological Insights & Peak Performance

Though a tilt factor of 9 suggests PROFESSOR sometimes lets frustration sneak in (who doesn’t?), his best time to strike back and claim victory is around 9 PM, when the caffeine kicks in and the brainwaves align.

Despite facing mostly higher-rated opponents (and often losing to them), PROFESSOR wins almost half the time against lower-rated players—a testament to his solid fundamentals and relentless spirit.

Notable Battles & Memorable Moments

PROFESSOR doesn’t just play chess. He fights epic duels:

• Recent double victories with elegant checkmates over jwilliamslt and narasimhan2311, showcasing brilliance in both defense and offense.
• A tough battle lost to predrag-pega by checkmate—everyone hits a snag, even professors!
• Mastery of the Scandinavian Defense and Bishops Opening hybrid variations that leave opponents wondering, "Where did he get that move from?"

Summary

Whether cracking open a chessboard at dawn or puzzling over a tactic late at night, PROFESSOR (Dr_Tokyo) is a chess player who thrives on challenge, growth, and the occasional surprising gambit. Sharp, gritty, and with a laugh-ready sense of humor about his occasional slips, he embodies the true spirit of the game: learning, adapting, and always playing just one move ahead.

Keep an eye on him—there’s a grandmaster brewing beneath that scholarly nickname.
