Maroun Tomb - Candidate Master Extraordinaire
Meet Maroun Tomb, a chess aficionado whose brilliance on the board earned him the prestigious title of Candidate Master from FIDE. A tactical wizard with a penchant for never giving up, Maroun has spent over a decade sharpening his skills, battling through thousands of blitz, bullet, rapid, and daily games.
Starting humbly with a blitz rating near 1400 back in 2012, Maroun's dedication propelled their peak blitz rating to a staggering 2784 by early 2025. Not bad for someone who knows how to keep calm when the clock is ticking and sacrifices abound!
With over 12,000 blitz wins and a glove-smooth style characterized by an impressive 91.37% comeback rate after losing a piece, Maroun is the embodiment of resilience. Whether it's bullet games — where they’ve secured nearly 6000 wins — or more leisurely daily matches boasting a win rate over 60%, Maroun adapts with equal vigor and humor.
Their favorite opening? Well, that’s classified under “Top Secret” — keeping opponents guessing is clearly part of the game! But Maroun is also fond of mixing it up with variations like the Philidor Defense Hanham Lion and the Sicilian Defense Open Dragon Fianchetto.
Maroun's psychological fortitude shines through with a modest tilt factor of 15, proving that even when situations get tense, they keep the queen cool. Their best time to play, according to statistics, is around noon — so don’t be surprised if you find this master unleashing devastating combos just as the lunch bell rings.
Off the board, Maroun might be dissecting games or plotting the next brilliant sacrifice, but on the board, every move tells a story of experience, strategy, and a dash of delightful mischief.
Recent victories showcase Maroun’s skillful handling of openings like the French Defense Tarrasch Guimard Main Line, triumphing over opponents through relentless pressure and patient execution.
In short, whether you call them Maroun Tomb or by their mysterious online moniker GameOverBro, one thing is clear: this Candidate Master plays chess like a grand adventure — intense, clever, and always entertaining.
