Profile Summary: Tin Bajo (aka elektro10)

Meet Tin Bajo, a chess aficionado whose journey through the 64 squares reads like an epic saga of ups, downs, and a sprinkle of grandmaster-level flair. Playing under the username elektro10, Tin has electrified opponents from blitz to bullet, rapiding through ranks with an almost cinematic comeback rate of 85.12%. When the chips are down, this player’s tactical awareness shines brightest—losing a piece? No problem, Tin bounces back with almost half the games turning into wins after such setbacks!

Tin started off modestly in 2011, with a Blitz rating around 1380 and bullet games barely breaking 1200. Fast forward, and they've blasted up the rating charts to a peak Blitz rating of 2419 in October 2024 and a Bullet high of 2413 in July 2022. Rapid and Daily chess? No slouch either, peaking near 2100 and 1800 respectively. A classical player with the grit of a lion, Tin’s average moves per win hover at a marathon-like 79 moves, proving stamina counts when outmaneuvering foes.

Openings are Tin’s playground—they dominate the Sicilian Defense (especially the Canal Attack variations), boast a decent Scandinavian Defense success rate, and even flirt with gambits like the King's Gambit Declined Classical Variation. But Tin’s real secret weapon? Humor and resilience. Never afraid to resign early (4.59% early resignation rate), yet with a psychological tilt factor of just 14, this player knows how to brush off a blunder and get right back to top form.

Tin plays best near midnight—some say it’s the power of the witching hour, others say a well-charged coffee. Either way, their winning percentage spikes near 0:00, boasting a 55.38% win rate at that hour. When not puzzling through openings, Tin prefers to engage in drawn-out battles—the endgame is where they shine, playing almost 77% of their games to the bitter end. A warrior, a strategist, and a master of time management (just look at the record of wins by timeout!).

Off the board? Tin is likely plotting the next brilliant attack or perhaps perfecting a cheeky chess meme. On the board? Opponents beware: elektro10 is a force of nature, wielding rooks and knights with the precision of a tactician and the stamina of a marathon runner.

Recent Memorable Games

With a mixed bag of wins, losses, and draws, Tin Bajo’s chess career is a rich tapestry woven with resilience, strategic depth, and a dose of humor that would make even Kasparov crack a smile.

What Tin Bajo is doing well

  • You show solid opening awareness in several classic lines and keep your pieces active with good piece coordination in the early middlegame.
  • Your tactical instincts help you seize opportunities and convert dynamic chances into wins when the position open up.
  • You handle complex, crowded positions with confidence and look for concrete, active plans rather than passive defense.

Key improvement areas

  • Opening reliability in rapid games: consider codifying a small, safe repertoire from your strongest openings to reduce risky deviations and vague plans in the first 15–20 moves.
  • Endgame technique: work on converting advantages in rook and pawn endings, and practice keeping material balance when the board opens to reduce chances of losing a drawn or winning endgame.
  • Time management: aim for a steady pace and reduce time spent on speculative tactics early in the game. Set a simple guideline to finish the opening phase comfortably by a target move number and use the remaining time for accurate calculation in the middlegame.
  • Threat awareness: before committing a move, quickly scan for tactical replies from your opponent and verify that you aren’t walking into a tactic that loses material.

Immediate next steps

  • Choose 2–3 openings from your openings performance that you trust (for example, Giuoco Piano / Philidor-like lines) and build a compact, safe plan for the middlegame in each. Focus on typical pawn structures and plan ideas instead of memorizing many long lines.
  • Do 15–20 minutes of daily tactical puzzles to improve pattern recognition and calculation under time pressure.
  • Pick one endgame drill per week (rook endings or king-and-pawn endings) and practice with a simple checklist: active king, active rook, pawn structure advantages, and know the basic winning method.
  • Review 1–2 recent losses to identify a single critical moment you would change, and write a short note about the alternative plan for future games.

Practice plan for the next weeks

  • Week 1: lock in a concise opening repertoire and improve consistency in the early middle game.
  • Week 2: emphasize endgame fundamentals and practical conversion techniques.
  • Week 3: blend tactics into openings with a focus on maintaining solid positions rather than forcing complications.
